I would appreciate any comments, particularly those pointing out errors of wikipedia convention. I know the link "1" in the page body (supporting the fact that an official was sentenced to five years) isn't correctly formatted.Eh Nonymous 17:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few sections that are too short and that should be either expanded or merged.

Closure - not imminent, but intended

Lots of news stories from 2022 about the closure. No timeline. No info about concrete steps. Maybe I’ll check back in 6 months and see if anything has moved. Eh Nonymous19406 (talk) 16:50, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance and NPoV correction

This passage is not relevant/does not fall under “sexual misconduct”:

“In April 2022, it was revealed that a transgender inmate had impregnated two female inmates at the prison after they had consensual sex.”

It should be either removed or moved to another section to protect the article’s NPOV. 3lyre3 (talk) 23:31, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, because it’s also under the heading of incidents listed in a 2020 report, and occurred in 2022, and is also not an instance of misconduct, I’ve gone ahead and removed it with this comment:

“Corrected a NPOV/relevance issue by removing information listed under a misleading heading.

“The section concerned a 2020 sexual misconduct report, the incidents listed therein, and the outcomes of the report. A paragraph was added regarding consensual sex with a trans inmate in 2022, which - under the heading of “misconduct” and within the topic of a 2020 report - lacked relevance and was also a NPOV issue.” 3lyre3 (talk) 23:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
