A trans-identified male incarcerated in a women’s prison in the Netherlands set fire to his cell before brutally beating a female prison guard. The victim has been described as having sustained “serious” injuries and has been hospitalized. The incident, which took place at Ter Peel prison for women, was first reported by De Telegraaf, and the outlet confirmed the assault with the Dutch Prison and Probation Service (DJI).
“A fire broke out in the cell of a detainee in the Ter Peel penitentiary institution this morning,” a spokeswoman told the newspaper. “After the fire and while rendering aid, an employee was suddenly attacked by this violent inmate and seriously injured.”
The prison guard was reportedly taken away from the scene via ambulance, and prison officials confirmed that her “teeth were knocked out of her mouth.”
The Dutch Prison and Probation Service refused to provide additional information about the trans-identified male inmate, and told the press: “We do not make any statements about individual prisoners. In the prison system, placement is in principle based on the gender stated in the passport. If there is reason to do so, this can be deviated from. This is always done on a customized basis, and is adjusted when necessary.”
A formal report has been lodged, with both law enforcement and prison officials investigating the circumstances leading up to the violent attack. Meanwhile, the trans-identified male has been transferred to another prison which, while unnamed, is said to have facilities that are more appropriate for aggressive inmates. Because the prisoner has not been identified, it is unclear whether the criminal has been relocated to another women’s prison or transferred into a men’s prison.
Authorities in the Netherlands have been secretive about the transfer of trans-identified male convicts into women’s prisons, often protecting their identities.
Last month Reduxx became aware that a sadistic pedophile who was discovered to be hoarding over 8 million child sexual abuse files had declared a transgender status. The man, whose name was not released to the public, had gathered a collection of sickening abuse images so expansive and heinous that investigators stopped cataloguing the files at about the 2 million mark – less than halfway through the total.
According to prosecutors, Jan had gained a notoriety amongst the pedophile community for sharing his extensive collection with others online, which led to him receiving “prestige” from fellow predators. He also had a “manual” in his possession instructing men on how to have “safe and harmless sex” with a child.
“I have seen a lot of child pornography in my profession, but this is the most disgusting child and animal pornography that exists,” the prosecutor said during the trial.
Press declined to name the man, who Reduxx has referred to as ‘Jan.’ During the hearing on February 20, the court heard that Jan “is in transition and wants to be addressed as a woman.”
Following his conviction, the disturbed predator was transferred to one of three prisons for women in the nation: Ter Peel in Limburg, Nieuwersluis (Utrecht) and Zwolle. ‘Jan’ was sent to Zwolle, the only mixed-sex facility out of the three.
Once again, a spokesperson for the Dutch Prison and Probation Service (DJI) stated that the authoritative body will “never comment on the situation of individual prisoners.” Representative Charlotte Hees told the press: “Placement in the prison system takes place on the basis of the gender stated in the passport,” Hees explained. “Deviation is possible if there is reason to do so, for example for the safety of detainees. This is always custom work and is determined on the basis of a careful assessment and adjusted when necessary.”
In 2023, news reports surfaced which described how a Chilean national convicted of committing a brutal murder was placed in a women’s prison even in advance of his final hearings. “Daniela D” had stabbed a man 214 times, targeting his eyes, ears, and genitals.
Daniela D. had been residing illegally in the Netherlands since February 2022, where he was involved in the sex industry. The court heard that he came from a broken home and that he had been “bullied” as a youth by peers who did not accept his gender identity.
Despite having not undergone any form of genital surgery, Daniela was detained in Ter Peel women’s prison.
