A convicted pedophile who began identifying as “transgender” after his incarceration is currently housed in a women’s prison in Minnesota, where he has been exposing himself to women and writing poetry about rape. Daniel Patrick Benz, who legally changed his name to Danielle Marie Whitebird in June of 2023, has been accused by multiple female inmates at Shakopee women’s prison of exposing his penis to them and asking them to read aloud poetry he wrote containing descriptions of rape. Female inmates have told Reduxx that the fear of retaliation from prison officials has kept many women from filing official complaints. One common method of punishing inmates is to place them in segregation, or “seg,” which is a temporary form of solitary confinement. “They put Danny in the same unit as me,” said inmate Chaos Bell. “Since he has been in the unit, he has been showing his penis to us, having women read his poems that are about rape. He is across the hall from [redacted] and she told someone that he showed his penis to her, too. He got aggressive after I confronted him. I keep telling everyone to report him, but they are scared of going to seg.”
Benz has a lengthy criminal history spanning two decades. Yet despite his many convictions for robbery, assault, and the sexual abuse of a 6-year-old girl, Benz was released last year from women’s prison MCF Shakopee. He was recently arrested and placed in MCF Shakopee for a second time after being convicted on new felony charges shortly after his release. According to the accounts provided by female inmates, he began behaving in a sexually aggressive manner almost immediately.
