Quote:In the Gay Wing of L.A. Men's Central Jail, It's Not Shanks and Muggings But Hand-Sewn Gowns and Tears
Duncan Roy, a gay British film producer who was held in K6G for 89 days without bail in 2012, under exâSheriff Lee Bacaâs controversial interpretation of âimmigration holds,â recalls, âIn other parts of the jail, you try and smuggle in drugs and cigarettes. That didnât happen in our wing.
âIf you were going to smuggle something in, it would be dresses and bras.â
The gay wing at Menâs Central Jail is an exceptionally rare, if not unique, subculture, the only environment of its kind in a major U.S. city. Nothing like it exists in Americaâs 21 largest urban jails, all contacted by the Weekly, where officials described in far more modest terms their own steps to deal with and house gay inmates. San Francisco has a transgender holding tank, but gay inmates live among the general population. In New Yorkâs Rikers Island, whose similar gay wing was shuttered in 2005, a jail spokesman laughed out loud, saying that whoever decides which men get placed in L.A. Countyâs gay jail wing âmust have really good gay-dar.â
