Taking Liberties: Joanne's Story

on BBC Two England

Joanne was convicted of burglary and sentenced to two years - in a men's prison. A transsexual who had not yet had surgery, she had lived as a woman for ten years and was undergoing hormone treatment. But early into her sentence Joanne was dropped from the list for a sex-change operation and offered no alternative treatment.
Joanne and those who champion her cause talk about her fight to complete her transformation into a woman.
