It is understood prison chiefs have approved the move of Tiffany Scott, who stalked a 13-year-old girl while known as Andrew Burns. It comes after double rapist Isla Bryson was removed from an all-female prison when Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was forced to intervene.

I didn't add this to existing threads about trans prisoners in Scotland as I thought a thread title would make more aware of this.

And

So much for safeguarding and risk assessments to make sure that no one was in danger hey..

I'm.assuming the prison they are transferring to has sufficient sanpro spies and no babies have died and no woman left giving birth alone in the cells due to staff shirtages and funding issues hefire money is spent with the extra observations etc needed with housing male inmates who pose a threat to the rest of the women?

Also being reported on the BBC. Interesting juxtaposition the female pronouns, and the bare chested photo of the transgender prisoner.

A photo of a biological woman in that state of undress would not be published.
