The pregnancies are reportedly the result of consensual sex with a trans inmate.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 800 prisoners at Jersey\u2019s only women\u2019s prison (the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility), 27 are trans  \u2014 not required to undergo surgery to be housed there under a foolish state-court settlement. The city Department of Correction policy is at least less rigid: It continues to house Marceline Harvey, a k a Harvey Marceline, who killed at least two girlfriends, in a men\u2019s unit at Rikers. <\/p>\n<p>(But is Marceline even transgender? In an interview with The Post, they indicated that Marceline and Harvey were two different personalities.)<\/p>\n<p>Harvey did more than 50 years\u2019 hard time for murdering girlfriends in 1963 and 1985. Paroled in 2019, she now stands accused of killing and dismembering 68-year-old Susan Leyden.<\/p>\n<p>It would be insane to jail her with other women, but that\u2019s what the ideologues want.
