Prison is a businees ..and if your "employees" arent happy..your production is at a loss..hence lets make the "employees" happy...thats why the scum of society have more rights than those who put their life on the line to protect them everyday...

I guess I picked the right side of the justice system to get a job...cause I just don't understand the legal justification for his winning that case. Jail is supposed to be a punishment for transgression against society's rules. If he wants a change, he should pay for it (that's the way it would be if he wasn't a criminal!). I can see if the ruling was that it would be "inhumane" to deny him the ability to get the surgery...but to say we have to pay for it too?

Gender identity disorders ?? Sounds like a personal problem, and not one for taxpayers to resolve. Bump ssu459 about the California reference; Massachusetts is rapidly becoming California East !!!

Why spend taxpayer dollars on this? It is not fair or just that criminals who have committed vicious crimes receive transplants or surgeries.

Bump darsavmo. I am a "safety" traffic officer for a large city. We don't know if we'll still have a contract in 2014.

Let's see, cities, counties, and states are laying off police and other public safety officers and/or are cutting salaries and benefits because of budget concerns, but we have money for cr@p like this!
Where has our common sense and rationalism went?
Next we will be paying for Viagra for prisoners...

If they want to change their genders simply give them a rusty razor blade and have them do it themselves. No taxpayer money needed. I am certain the good citizens of that state will donate the razor's for free.
