Cringeworthy Story of the Day: Inmate Tries to Cut Off His Own Penis With....

Posted by Emily Farris

A convicted murderer in Santa Ana insists that he is "a good person who made some really bad choices." In addition to murdering a Newport Beach couple in order to steal their yacht and slashing another man in a "murder-for-money" scheme, Skylar Deleon tried to cut off his own penis while in prison. You might be thinking, 'but prisoners can't have knives or scissors.' And you're right.

In 2007 a locked-up Deleon tried to cut off his own penis with a razor because he believes "it doesn't belong there."

"As far back as I can remember, I always knew something was not quite right," Deleon said. "It's kind of weird, I mean I like girls, but I also always felt like a girl."

While the story didn't state what kind of razor he used, it pains us to be realistic enough to believe it was probably a single-blade disposable razor, which—to the best of our knowledge/Google searching—is the standard shaving device for inmates.

Deleon probably could have dug a hole to China in the time it would have taken to remove his own penis with a Bic razor, but luckily other inmates alerted deputies who rushed his cell and, uh, nipped the operation in the bud.

This is certainly disturbing but not as uncommon as you might think. Unfortunately, many transsexuals are routinely denied access to hormones and sex reassignment surgery when incarcerated and this can result in extreme self-harm including castration. Check out the doc "Cruel and Unusual" by Janet Baus to learn more.
