Prison pronoun error

sir – HM Prison Isle of Wight has misunderstood personal pronouns (“Jail gives out gender pronoun badges”, report, September 27).

The pronouns in question are those used when a person is the subject or object of a verb. For example, in “she loves her”, she is the subject and her is the object. But one of the badges to be handed out by the prison says “Her / they”, and it makes no sense to say, “her loves they”.
