Gay Jail

"For at least three decades, gay and transgender inmates had their own housing unit inside Rikers Island's sprawling jail complex. To be admitted, all a new inmate had to do was declare homosexuality, or appear to be transgender, and ask to be kept out of Rikers's main jails." [via The New York Times]

A gay jail. I could be wrong, but I think I've seen a couple of movies like that. If I remember, even the warden got in on the action.
