The crafty way a 6ft 2in 'trans' inmate fooled authorities and was glossed in a women's prison where he allegedly raped two inmates
A former prison psychologist has revealed how 'transgender' detainee Tremaine Carroll should never have been moved to a women's prison, where two female inmates say he raped them.
Carroll faces a trial for the alleged double rape at Central California Women's Facility (CCWF) — where he was transferred in August 2021, after telling officials he was trans and did not pose a risk to women.
Now, in a sensational interview, one of Carroll's former psychologists has described how the 51-year-old relentlessly games the prison system to his own advantage and should not have been moved.
Dr Jack Miller says Carroll's case exposes deep flaws in a correctional system that puts too much power in the hands of crafty inmates.
The California law that in 2021 allowed men to say they were trans and ask to serve their time in a women's lockup is just another example of a broken system, Miller says.
Trans detainee Tremaine Carroll, 51, allegedly raped two women in a women's prison before being sent back to an all-men lockup.
Female detainees at Central California Women's Facility (CCWF) say life changed after trans inmates were allowed to transfer there.
It's a startling indictment from an insider that raises tough questions for Democratic Gov Gavin Newsom and the progressives who supported Senate Bill 132, as it's known.
Miller's revelations showcase the risks of letting intact, biological males — including sex offenders — live, sleep and shower in dormitories with women.
Carroll was 'one of the top 10 biggest headaches' among the 96,000 people in the custody of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), he says.
He is one of the 'really frequent fliers … constantly going from one institution to another, constantly looking for a higher level of care,' says Miller, using an alias to protect his identity.
Miller had about a dozen sessions with Carroll, in the years before he came out as trans.
He was never interested in counselling, says Miller. The appointments were always a 'vehicle to do something else.'
Scheming detainees gamed the system seeking better conditions, including transfers to more comfortable prisons with tastier meals and looser rules, he says.
Carroll also feigned disabilities to gain 'preferential or special treatment,' he claims.
'That included pretty much any disability that somebody could put on a vest for, or get a wheelchair for, or get a cane for,' Miller says.
'This person had them all.'
Carroll was soon transferred to a different facility, and his sessions with Miller ended.
Upon learning of the double rape allegations against Carroll last month, Miller says he was not surprised.
His reaction was: 'Sarcastically: 'What a shocker',' he says.
Miller has no knowledge of Carroll's trans transfer request, but says his history of gaming the system was a red flag that was overlooked.
'I'm utterly shocked that some other psychologists approved his transfer to a women's prison,' he told DailyMail.com.
Carroll is due back at Madera Superior Court for a preliminary hearing on July 8.
He's 6ft 2in, 200 lbs, and presents as male, with facial hair, and has not undergone sex-change treatments.
CCWF's sprawling complex in Chowchilla has been dogged by claims of sexual violence in its cells for years.
Detainees and staff at CCWF celebrated a 'day of action' for trans prisoners in January.
He's serving 25-years-to-life under California's three strikes laws for repeat offenders.
One of his early convictions — for two counts of kidnapping — involved Carroll and other men breaking into an apartment occupied by two women.
The victims were sexually assaulted and forced into 'oral copulation,' court papers show.
Despite the incident, he was transferred to the women's lockup in Chowchilla, in central California.
Two inmates of the women's facility have since came forward, saying Carroll overpowered and raped them.
One of them, a small woman in her thirties, says Carroll forcibly penetrated her in the shower of the eight-bedroom dormitory they shared.
She was left traumatized by the attack, and relives the ordeal each time she takes a shower, when her heart pounds in her chest, she says.
The women have not been identified.
Carroll has pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape and one count of dissuading a witness from testifying.
Miller says the double rape claims are a wake-up call for a flawed system.
'If he's guilty of this, who's going to atone for that?' Miller says.
'What are they going to do to change it? And are they going to change the risk-evaluation process? Because now they're creating new victims.'
Miller recalls how California detainees were quick to realize the potential of SB132.
To apply, detainees must only profess their identity.
Taking cross-sex hormones or undergoing surgery is not required.
Requests are reviewed by a warden, guards, medical and mental health staff, and an expert on prison rapes.
Some inmates had identified as trans and taken hormones for years before requesting a transfer, Miller says.
California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed the transgender prison bill into law in September 2020.
But the law also opened the door to inmates like Carroll who gamed the system, he says.
For them, the gains were obvious — life in women's prisons is cushier than violence-plagued men's facilities.
They also offer dating and sexual encounters with women.
Male detainees often came out as trans for other reasons, says Miller.
Trans inmates in male prisons could request 'pat-down' searches from female guards, rather than male.
Some requested these for sexual gratification, says Miller.
Others wanted to make searches more difficult to organize, so it would be easier to move drugs or other contraband around cellblocks, he adds.
He describes a 'contagion of transgenderism' after SB132 passed, and 'how quickly word spread about the benefits of claiming this trans status.'
Still, it was just the latest case of politicians loading the dice in the favor of inmates, he says.
Rules introduced to make detainees safer often created mechanisms that could be abused, he says.
Mental health protocols introduced in the 1990s empowered crafty detainees to say they were suicidal to kick-start processes that could win them more comfortable digs, says Miller.
Carroll and other detainees could exhaust corrections officers with requests and paperwork until they got their way, he says.
When they were denied, inmates sued the department, which would typically settle, says Miller.
'It's just cheaper that way, less of a headache,' he says.
Throughout the interview, Miller carefully avoided disclosing any of Carroll's medical records, which are private and protected.
He only discussed what is widely known among correctional staff.
After the rape allegations, Carroll was in April moved to Kern Valley State Prison, a notoriously violent all-male facility in central California.
Trans detainee Tremaine Carroll is back in an all-men facility, the maximum security Kern Valley State Prison.
Kern Valley State Prison is plagued by violence, including a stabbing death in a recreational yard in April.
There, Carroll 'lives in fear' of 'retaliation' from guards, says his lawyer Joe Goethals.
Records show he has been transferred 79 times since entering the system in March 1991.
One of his transfer requests was ordered by a federal court, despite objections from CDCR, said department spokeswoman Terri Hardy.
He's been found guilty of 18 serious rules violations while inside.
California state facilities house 1,997 trans and non-binary detainees.
Some 345 inmates in male prisons have requested transfers to women's lockups.
Of them, 46 were approved, 64 were denied, and 87 inmates changed their minds. The rest are under review.
Just 16 inmates of women's prisons have requested transfers; three have been approved.
The CDCR says it vets requests carefully and only approves them when it's 'safe to do so.'
The Transgender Law Center, the ACLU and other groups say trans detainees are most often victims of abuse and deserve protection.
Letting them serve their sentences in lockups matching their gender identity makes them safer, advocates say.
But women's rights groups warn of rising incidents of rape and other horrors in what were once women-only cellblocks.
Sharon Byrne, director of the Women's Liberation Front, says SB 132 makes it too easy for any male convict seeking access to women or a way out of violence-plagued men's prisons.
'Any male serving out any sentence for violent assaults, rapes, crimes in a men's prison, sees an open door to easily get into a woman's prison,' says Byrne.
'Who's not going to take advantage of that?'
