A transgender inmate who impregnated two women while incarcerated at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women has been moved to a new facility, according to the Department of Corrections.
Demi Minor, 27, was transferred to Garden State Youth Correctional Facility, a prison for young adult offenders in Burlington County, last month, Dan Sperrazza, a Department of Corrections spokesman, said.
He said the DOC moved Minor to the vulnerable unit at the facility and that she is currently the only woman prisoner on the site. Sperrazza said he could not comment on the DOC's specific housing actions in Minor's case because of policies around privacy.
According to the corrections department, Minor is serving a 30-year sentence for manslaughter and is eligible for parole in 2037.
Neither she nor her attorney could be reached for comment Friday.
But a July 5 post on Minor's website claims corrections officers forcibly removed her from Edna Mahan and beat her during the transfer to Garden State Youth Correctional facility.
The DOC said it couldn't comment on the allegations but is investigating.
"NJDOC cannot comment on any active investigations," a statement read. "The Department has zero tolerance for abuse, and the safety and security of the incarcerated population and staff are critical."
Not much is known about Demi minor except that she is reportedly serving a 30-year sentence for manslaughter and is eligible for parole in 2037. "On June 24, 2022, I was shipped to Garden State Youth Correctional Facility (male facility). Since I had hung myself in the van, I was on Suicide watch. Before going to this darkly lot cell, I attempted to ask Officers if I could be strip-searched by a female officer, which I felt comfortable doing …The Lieutenant refused and mocked me as I asked for this. He said if I did not follow his commands to allow two male officers to strip search me, he would cut all my clothes off and place me in a dry cell. I cried and complied with his commands as the male officer said things I perceived as wrong. I was placed in a dark cell within Detention housing, as inmates on the watch are placed in the detention unit, not the infirmary!" Minor wrote of her experience on her blog.
