By the way, what was the deal with the "escort permit"?  Thanks.

Its my understanding that Sylvia Boots was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison.  There is a petition circling to request that her sentence be reduced.  They were soliciting signatures at Peanuts recently. Ask around at the club if you want to add your name.  not your sobriquet

meow

As far as the escort permit, I am not sure about the details.  I beleive Kylie from San Diego posted some info about it a while back. All I know is that Kim Devine got busted for not having one.........any info on that would help us bot.  Thanks for the Boots update.....

I am thinking it is like a vendor permit. Escorting is a legitimate service. We hobbyist use it as slang but it would be like getting a massage permit without the certification. They want to keep track of escorts and want to get revenue from the permits and the paperwork keeps the bureaucrats busy. Wantatsfivefive over and out.

according to the LASD, shes now being fked with by US Immigration and still at the mens central jail pending transfer to an un-named state prison

Seems like rather selective enforcement of the law, doesn't it?

I wonder what it's like for a t-girl in a men's prison... any books out there on the subject?

From what I've read in the paper about other cases from time to time, if she doesn't have legal resident status, they will deport her as soon as her sentence is served.

I would think that she is in protective custody and her meals etc., are brought to her.  The Sheriff's Dept. seems to be doing a poor job lately though.

They have a separate cell block for transsexuals.  

As stated below, she was found guilty of Second Degree Murder.  I was in the courtroom when the verdict was read.

She had a court date on 7/27.  So she may have plead guilty to a reduced charge (voluntary manslaughter, just a guess from a non-lawyer) and received the 15 years.  She'll be out in less and then deported if she's in the country illegally.

And BTW, there's no such thing as an "escort permit."
