Woman serves three years as male convict in San Quentin
Artie Baker, a woman, completed a 14 year robbery sentence in San Quentin while living as a man for three years. Prison officials and federal officers knew her sex, yet she remained in male garb, facing jibes and isolation until a prison doctor granted a private cell and bath booth amid 1,400 to 1,800 inmates. A note on her despair hints at a self harm threat if moved to a women’s ward.
