MIAMI, FLORIDA: Judge Mindy S Glazer ordered on Wednesday, November 9 Nikita Dragun, the transgender model, should remain in the men's prison for walking around naked in a hotel. When the 26-year-old asked if she could be moved to another jail, the judge said she couldn't accommodate the request and added, "I don't make the rules," before saying that the prison should have placed Dragun in a separate area inside the unit.
The transgender model asked, "Your honor, may I ask one question? May I, do I have to stay here in the men's unit still?." She responded, "Yeah, I don't make the rules up there, but they should be making a proper accommodation for you; you should be in a separate area."
