New rules banning some transgender women from female prisons in England and Wales from today have been extended in scope, the justice secretary has said
The rapist was convicted in January and was taken to Cornton Vale prison near Stirling - Scotland's only all-female facility - to be held in segregation to await sentencing.
Following an outcry from the public and politicians, Bryson was moved to the male estate within days and an urgent review was commissioned by Scottish Justice Secretary Keith Brown.Mr Raab told Sky News that the reason the policy was coming into force on Monday, having been announced four months ago, was because it had taken"time to do it very carefully and assiduously".
Explaining the Ministry of Justice position on transgender women in female prisons, he said:"We are very clear that from next week we will introduce new rules which means that any trans offender with their male genitalia intact or who have been convicted of a sexual offence and, adding to that, if they have been convicted of a violent offence, they will not be allowed into the female prison estate.
