The pedophile was transferred to the Shakopee women’s prison in Minnesota after a 2023 policy change that allowed biological men who identify as transgender women to be housed there.
Shakopee inmate and sexual assault and domestic violence survivor Jamie Ali described those months as “the worst I’ve ever had to live through.”
Ali accused the Department of Corrections (DOC) of failing to protect vulnerable women, alleging that Windingland hoarded his semen for sinister reasons.
“He was storing it to, I guess, get IPs (imprisoned persons) pregnant … or to give to them so they could then therefore try to impregnate their self,” she told Alpha News.

“How in the hell would that have been appropriate to put him in all woman’s prison? I mean somebody make it make sense.”
Ali also regularly encounters inmate Bradley Sirvio, another transgender inmate who now goes by the name Aurora and is serving a life sentence for murder, the outlet reported.
Ali said that Sirvio often describes sexual encounters with other female inmates, claiming he said, “I will let you guys [perform sex acts] if I can get a wig.”
She now steers clear of the general population.
“I withdrew from every single one of my classes because there are transgenders in them and it’s very traumatic,” she told the outlet.
DOC spokesperson Aaron Swanum told Alpha News that the allegation of the semen stockpile was “unsubstantiated.”

Swanum added that Sirvio has “no discipline related to inappropriate behaviour” while at Shakopee, although further details would require a records request.
The spokesperson also noted there are currently two men who identify as transgender women housed at the facility and emphasized that “the safety and security of all our incarcerated individuals is always our priority.”
Swanum explained: “During the intake process incarcerated individuals are aware of the reporting process regarding their safety and security, which is to immediately notify staff of legitimate threats to their safety.”
Records show that Windingland is back at the Stillwater facility, away from the all-female prison.
Ali said her “biggest fear” is how easy it seems for inmates who self-identify as transgender to land in the women’s facility.
“How do I not know that one of these men that claims to identify as a female don’t just say [that] to get here and then I become raped?”
