After allegedly having sex with a transgender inmate, two convicts at New Jersey’s only women’s jail are pregnant.

According to Dan Sperrazza, the Department of Corrections’ external affairs executive director, the ladies became pregnant as a result of consensual sexual interactions with another jailed individual.

The inmates are being housed at Clinton’s Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, which has a history of sex assault issues. Last year, Gov. Phil Murphy revealed intentions to close the women’s jail, which is the only one in the state.

The jail has over 800 convicts and began keeping transgender women last year after a lawsuit was filed by a trans woman who had spent 18 months in men’s prisons and the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey.

According to NJ.com, the prison presently houses 27 convicts who identify as transgender. To be housed at the institution, trans women convicts in New Jersey are not required to undergo gender-reassignment surgery.

Last year, two Edna Mahan inmates filed a complaint in New Jersey, saying they were harassed by trans convicts and that transgender inmates were having sex with female inmates.

Jeanne LoCicero, the ACLU’s legal director, defended the policy of allowing transgender convicts to be housed in a women’s jail as one that safeguards transgender women’s rights.

Meanwhile, the policy has been criticized by the organization that represents the prison’s correctional employees.

“We opposed this policy change because we believed it would be harmful to the general population of female detainees imprisoned at Edna Mahan, as well as provide additional stress to our correctional police officers assigned to this institution,” the union’s president told NJ.com.

An inquiry into the situation has been initiated. The pregnant women’s and transgender inmate’s identities have not been revealed.
