    Grandmother Mistaken for Man Sent to All-Male Prison

    A grandma was mistakenly sent to an all-male jail in Florida because staff mistook her as transgender. She is now suing over the incident, according to a report. Fior Pichardo de Veloz, 55, who works as a lawyer in the Dominican Republic, flew into Miami for her granddaughter’s birth in November 2013 and was arrested at the airport on old drug charges, according to a lawsuit.
    During the booking, she was escorted to a medical unit for a checkup, where her file showed she was taking hormone pills, according to the court papers. A nurse assumed she was born a man and taking estrogen to grow breasts. She was actually undergoing hormone replacement therapy to help with symptoms of menopause, the court documents state. She was then placed in a holding cell with 40 men, some of who leered and laughed at her.

    Thats unexcuseable, if those men knew she was a female in that cell she could have been in very real trouble as it was dressed as a female shes fortunate.

    The State of Florida is lucky she wasn't sexually assaulted or they would be paying major damages.

    They will pay something, but far less than if she had been assaulted.

    Generally one getting booked into jail is strip searched. Shouldn't a red flag have been raised then?

    It was a holding cell, perhaps they only frisk them for sharp objects and contraband.

    If one is changed into jail clothing, they have been through the process. A pat down happens long before they are strip searched and changed into jail clothing.

    She was dressed in jail clothing, which means she should have been been striped searched. Then put and put in a temp holding cell with males. They are then moved from the booking cell to the intake unit. There are both male and female temporary holding cells in a booking area.


    The point is, somewhere along the line, someone either knew or suspected that she was indeed a female.

    They effed up. They are going to pay for it whether she was sexually assaulted or not.
