Woman Prefers Being In All-Male Prison

A Peruvian woman spent a month in a male prison in Argentina after she was mistaken for a man. And, when it was finally discovered that she was a woman and transferred to a women's jail, she wanted to be transferred back.

A local newspaper reports that Carla Aguilera was arrested for robbery but lied to police and told them her name was Manuel Martin Aguilar.

Police in Buenos Aires said that Aguilera was checked by several policeman but none noticed she was a woman.

After an anonymous phone call alerted the police to Aguilera's real gender, they confirmed her gender with a medical examination, and she was sent to Ezeiza female prison.

A police spokesmperson said: "She looks and acts exactly like a man, it was impossible to see that she is a woman".

"She insists she is a man and wants to be transferred back to the male prison!"
