The New Jersey Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women (EMCF) has come under intense scrutiny as a female inmate, Shakira Reed, has come forward with allegations of a brutal assault by a transgender-identified male transfer named Jermaine Gibson, who goes by the name Cyntara. The incident, which Reed claims occurred after she repeatedly rejected Gibson's sexual advances, has sparked outrage and raised serious concerns about the safety and well-being of incarcerated women.
