which prison a person is sent to. Once the prosecution is complete and the judge renders a sentence, the specific terms of incarceration are mostly determined by a state's laws and its bureau of prisons, not by the prosecutor. Some states probably have laws or policies regarding who goes where, and in any event if a state's law requires a trans person to serve time at a prison housing people of their same biological gender, the prosecutor or AG would be obligated to follow that law whether they liked it or not. Some states seem to be more enlightened in that regard lately.
