Requiring transgender prisoners to be held in jails matching their sex at birth would breach their human rights and create an unacceptable risk of suicide, a court has been told.

He said the government had to make "very complex, difficult judgements" around prisons policy and ministers could not run the risk of an increased risk of suicide among trans prisoners.

Moynihan said: "Creating the risk of suicide of one prisoner, let alone a number, is not capable of being collateral damage. It is wholly unacceptable."

my prompt:

whats the suicide rate in prison for men, trans men (women), women, and trans women (men)

chatGPT: . Suicide Rates in Prison by Sex and Gender

Cisgender Men in Prison

Across high-income countries, suicide rates for male prisoners generally fall between approximately 20 and 180 per 100,000 prisoners per year. In the United States, recent years have shown rates typically around 30 to 50 per 100,000 in state prisons, sometimes higher in local jails.

These rates are several times higher than suicide rates for men in the general population. Because men make up the overwhelming majority of prisoners, most prison suicides in absolute numbers are male.

Cisgender Women in Prison

Female prisoners are a much smaller percentage of the incarcerated population, but their suicide rates are often comparable to or higher than male prisoners when adjusted per 100,000.

In some jurisdictions, female prisoners have suicide rates between roughly 30 and 360 per 100,000 per year, though the higher end reflects small population sizes that make rates volatile.

Relative to women in the general population, incarcerated women often show a dramatically elevated suicide risk. In some countries this relative risk has been measured at several times higher than women outside prison.

Transgender Prisoners

There is no consistent national reporting system in the United States that publishes suicide rates broken down by gender identity inside prisons. Most official data still classify deaths by sex rather than by transgender status.

Limited reports from the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions show that when suicides occur among known transgender prisoners, the calculated rate can appear extremely high because the total transgender prison population is very small. For example, 2 deaths among 70 people in a year produces a very large per-100,000 rate, but that does not necessarily indicate a stable long-term rate.

Because denominators are small and reporting is inconsistent, there is no reliable nationwide suicide rate for trans women (biological males) or trans men (biological females) in prison.

What is more consistently documented is that transgender prisoners report higher exposure to isolation, assault risk, segregation, and mental health distress — all known suicide risk factors. However, precise comparative mortality rates remain uncertain due to poor data collection.

Summary

Male prisoners have a substantially elevated suicide rate compared to men outside prison.

Female prisoners often have an even higher relative increase compared to women outside prison, though their absolute numbers are smaller.

There is no stable, comprehensive suicide rate for transgender prisoners due to small population sizes and inconsistent reporting.

so in other words, its “wholly unacceptable” for there to be an increased risk for suicide among trans prisoners,

but evidently, it’s completely acceptable for there to be an increased risk of suicide among cis prisoners

fun facts: the USA incarcerates more people per capita than any other nation on earth. the USA also incarcerates more people in raw numbers than any other nation on earth. the USA has more people in prison than China does, yet China has 1,000,000,000 more people than USA…

fun fact: Trump is a convicted felon, and i voted for him anyway
