Hector Bravo, a former correctional officer, exposes the consequences of permitting biological males to be incarcerated in women’s prisons
Friend,
The California prison system has failed women.

Why did Hector Bravo Ferrel, a former correctional lieutenant, leave the California Prison system at the height of his 16-year career, leaving behind a pension and a $157,000 annual salary?

In the latest episode of IWF’s documentary mini-series, Cruel & Unusual Punishment: The Male Takeover of Female Prisons, Ferrel explains why he chose to sacrifice his career to testify against the “dangerous and unethical” policies that put female inmates and staff at-risk. The state has “an obligation to protect the ones in our custody,” he said. “They are inmates in our custody. And if you're purposely putting a predator amongst prey, so to say, I don't got to tell you what's going to happen—you know what’s going to happen.”

Ferrel, an Army veteran and father of a young daughter, is the first whistleblower from the correctional field to speak out about the fallout of California’s radical prison policy. He’s seen first hand what happens when males, many of whom are violent and convicted sex offenders, are allowed to live in women's prisons as they please.
