"Transgender" "women" in prison

For quite a while now I have been wondering what will happen if a male criminal, like a rapist, claims to be a woman. Will he be sent to a women's prison, or a male one?

Well, it appears I finally have my answer:

    "The rate of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization [PDF] is at least 3 times higher for females (13.7%) than males (4.2%). This has been attributed to the fact that a majority of prison officials do not view female-on-female sexual assault as “true rape,” making them less likely to reprimand inmates."
