…On the third hand, apparently she’s already transitioning with hormones, and being effectively female in a men’s prison sounds like a completely untenable situation. I’m not sure they should have started the hormones, but no one asked me…

That would likely be the primary concern when you consider that she’ll have to be in isolation or segregated from the general population over the course of a lifetime. She would be safer, in general, in a female population. Those are added costs to the imprisonment. Then you have to add the possibility of her being assaulted which could require extensive medical treatment. The simpler and cheaper solution in the long haul is to pay for the SRS and be done with it.
