No transgender prisoners with history of violence against women to be placed in female prisons in Scotland
Transgender prisoners with a history of violence against women will not be placed in female prisons, Scotland's Justice Secretary has confirmed.
After Bryson’s case was raised at Frist Minister’s Questions, Nicola Sturgeon said the prison service carried out individual risk assessments in such cases and no 'formal direction' had been given by the Scottish Government. "As the First Minister pointed out last week, we must not allow any suggestion to take root that trans women pose an inherent threat to women.
He introduced two rules, the first being that no transgender person already in custody with any history of violence against women will be moved from the male to the female estate.
