A 57-year-old convicted killer serving a life sentence has become the first U.S. inmate to receive state-funded sex-reassignment surgery, the prisoner’s attorneys confirmed Friday.
California prison officials agreed in August 2015 to pay for the surgery for Shiloh Heavenly Quine, who was convicted of first-degree murder, kidnapping and robbery for ransom and has no possibility of parole.
Quine’s case led the state to become the first to set standards that will allow other transgender inmates to apply to receive state-funded sex-reassignment surgery. It also prompted a federal magistrate to require California to provide transgender female inmates housed in men’s facilities with more female-oriented items such as nightgowns, scarves and necklaces.

now I also was watching a tv show with the women folk where a guy in cali had got the death penalty for killing one man then a couple and the sentence was reduced by a judge to 2 life sentences then the judge had them pay for his sex reassignment surgery which is why he killed the 3 people over trying to steal enough to pay for.he also had him moved to a women's prison .
like all this makes me sick that the legal system in cali is making the tax payers pay for this ,its wrong but I guess its the liberal way to reward murders
