Wouldn't a system that's designed to impose maximum violence on trans women and girls simply beat them to death upon discovery rather than wait for them to commit a crime and be sentenced in hopes that other criminals will be violent to them?

The NBC News story doesn't say anything beyond that this happened, but it links to this story that says it was one of two fights:

Fights at D.C.’s juvenile jail sent two teenagers to the hospital last week, including a transgender girl housed in a boys’ unit, according to sources who reviewed material related to the case.

Her jaw was broken during the incident at D.C.’s Youth Services Center (YSC), sources said.

The Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) said the fights — which both took place July 7 — were not related to each other. Staff were present for both.

In the incident with the transgender victim, sources confirm five teens have been charged with new violations related to the assault.
