Demi Minor, 27, who is behind bars for stabbing her former foster father to death, was transferred from Edna Mahan Correctional Facility to the Garden State Youth Correctional Facility in June.
Minor took to her Justice 4 Demi blog to share the “psychological damage” she has experienced, claiming she was mocked and strip-searched by prison guards, and spat at by fellow inmates.
She also alleged she was beaten during the prison transfer and misgendered multiple times.
Minor added that she was placed on suicide watch after she tried to hang herself during the transfer.
Edna Mahan, which houses up to 800 inmates, began welcoming transgender women in 2021.
In April, it was revealed that Minor had engaged in “consensual sexual relationships” with two other inmates there last year.
The state’s corrections department said it would review its policy and implement “minor modifications.”
Minor, an activist advocating for prisoners’ rights, details her experiences online.
In her most recent blog post, “Being Forced to Live in a Male Prison,” she begs to be returned to Edna Mahan.
“As a woman who is transgender I truly fear what lies ahead for me, it’s clear that staff have looked for some kind of security reason to kick me out of the only female correctional facility, they have thrown me to the wolves and expected for me [to] just gave up,” she wrote.
“I don’t deserve to be treated like this.”
