The news was announced by Nicola Sturgeon
A TRANSGENDER woman who was convicted of rape will not serve her sentence in the all-female Cornton Vale prison, Nicola Sturgeon has told the Scottish Parliament.
A six-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow heard Isla Bryson raped two women: one in Clydebank in 2016 and one in Drumchapel in 2019. Bryson, from Clydebank, committed the crimes before she transitioned to female and when she was known by the “dead name” Adam Graham.Speaking at First Minister’s Questions at Holyrood, Nicola Sturgeon confirmed a risk assessment is being carried out by the Scottish Prison Service, as she stressed Bryson would not be held at Cornton Vale women’s prison, near Stirling.
Ms Sturgeon said: “It would not be appropriate for me in respect of any prisoner to give details of where they are being incarcerated. “But given the understandable public and parliamentary concern in this case I can confirm to Parliament that this prisoner will not be incarcerated at Cornton Vale women’s prison.
