Court put in lockdown as dangerous 'dirty protest' transexual prisoner appears in dock half naked

Yes!

The selective "good transwomen" case championing reminds me of Chris Morris's

Yeah... you'd be forgiven for thinking that they only want to take up the cause of fuckable looking attractive young trans women. But surely not? That would be terribly cisnormative not to mention invalidating and cherry picking and misogynist for starters.

Why aren't they defending these tragic transwomen? It's a scandal that needs calling out.

Something that's convenient baffling about this man and about the rapist who committed suicide in prison last week is that none of the usual transactivists have come out in support of either of them

I mean you'd think they'd be up in arms but nope, radio silence.

It's almost like these aren't a good look for the cause.

Indeed.

No, but then he shouldn't be in a woman's prison even if he were a rational and reasonable prisoner. Because he's a man.

Certainly housing him in the women's estate isn't a reasonable solution.

On the surface of it he certainly seems to tick a lot of boxes fit anti-social personality disorder (I.e. a psychopath). The difficulty with people like him in terms of where to house him, is no one wants them. Prisons don't, because they behave in this way and are largely unresponsive to traditional "punishments" and have little or no rehab potential. psychiatric hospitals don't want them because they're pretty much untreatable.

"People and the prison service get stuck in these cycles which damage everyone involved but when you are serving an indeterminate prison sentence you don't have a lot to lose and you have plenty of time to think up the next way you can cause as much chaos as possible. He hates the prison service, they hate him and round and round it goes."

This^^ He reminds me of Charles Bronson a bit.

Wherever he is I can't imagine he isn't in seg.

He is currently in Saughton Prison which has a women's wing
He is absolutely totally taking the piss and they are letting him make fools out of them
They are giving him all the power and he will take full advantage of it

As said above, he identifies as a women so he therefore is, as much as any other woman is.

To see how far this madness has gone consider the fact that prison/court staff refer to him as Miss Scott. The Scottish Prison Service already operates on a policy of self-identification as do NHS Scotland, who have signed up to a Memorandum of Understanding which agrees only to affirm gender identity. No counselling or therapy is allowed to challenge or explore this gender identity.

He is currently in Saughton Prison which has a women's wing - I can't confirm, but I am certain this is where he is being held. Whether the union for the female staff are able to take any action remains to be seen.

In 2010, he assaulted a nurse when he escaped a hospital in Crewe, Cheshire.

Four years ago, he also admitted stalking a 13-year-old girl by sending her letters from her cell at Polmont Prison, near Falkirk.

How did he get to do this? I personally think that more funds need to be put into prisons. They need to be made more secure. The guards need to be paid better. I also do think that security needs to be tightened up as there seems to be a lot of incidences of prisoners terrorizing people from their prison cells which should not be allowed to happen. They should not be allowed to have access to Facebook and mark their victims from the cells as has been happening.

No you're right. I came on here and made it up to impress you

barbmum oh how very convenient I saw that coming. You have no idea how they talk when they are together then, clearly.

My BiL is a prison guard. He deals with people like this all the time. And his response to them is a hell of a lot more nuanced than "they're all just evil bastards" or "poor loves are ill and can't help it". So I'll take my lead from him thanks. You spend your sympathy as you wish, certainly not wise to spread it around to thinly if its in short supply.

What a vile MAN.

It seems very likely he has a personality disorder and yes, he knows what he's doing and yes he's trying to cause hell for officers and the prison system but people who bite their viens open and swallow razor blades aren't well people.

The people I've known who do that had horrific childhoods.

I think this person is a complete outlier - how many bitesopen their own veins, or manages to rip untearable clothing?

Just for reasons of the safety of all prison officers (whether male or female) there need to be individual handling procedures for the violent/volatile.

But one snag is that people only think of prison standards intermittently, if there is a major event, or if an a prison incident serves some other agenda. What goes on inside is all too often 'out of sight, put of mind'. Prison officers deal with the highly dangerous (but not diagnosed insane) every single damned day. And it's a thankless task.

Bore off with that attitude Barbmum

I am well aware of mental health but you can’t claim all that act like that are suffering. It’s actually a huge insult to those genuinely mentally ill, to assume they would act that way. I’ll save my sympathy for the poor Prison guards on a paltry wage that have to put up with cunts like HIM.

He is being left to destroy himself. And yes he's a nasty guy who needs to control anything. Doesn't mean he's mentally healthy or do you think mental illness is the preserve of the virtuous?

Jennielou is spot on in all posts as are many other PP

I think he’s just horrible and needs to be in a mental institution not a prison. The poor prison staff I agree falange

HE is trying to control everything and everyone around him. I pity the staff that are so poorly paid, having to deal with degenerate shits like him.

Why all the oh he must be mentally ill? Bollocks ! No, he’s just a nasty cunt. He’s trying to get away with it by acting that way. I’d leave him to destroy himself, far better that than allowing him to harm others.

To be considered for Broadmoor he would have to present as a grave and immediate danger to others. Sounds like he is troubled but not significantly risky to others. He has an Order for Lifelong Restriction (OLR) he will only be released when he is no longer considered an “unmanageable risk to public safety

So I disagree.

He appears to hate women, and somehow by pretending to identify as one he gets to request females only to search hims, to make the female wardens as uncomfortable as possible.

Very calculated, very controlling.

I think he knows exactly what he's doing Agree, stealth!

I have studied criminology for some years and it is astounding the lengths people will go to in an attempt to control people and their environment. Dirty protests are widespread in prisons and their are many cases of people who self harm to cover up their crimes e.g stab themselves, head butt walls etc.
Having a strong knowledge of how prisons work I can assure you that episodes like these have to be investigated and preventions put in place where possible.
