These people are stark raving mad.

'"This changes on a regular basis but it is my understanding there are no transgender women in the female estate that have violence against women convictions.'

Fucking WHAT?!

Eastwood: murdered a cell mate. Are we seriously going to try arguing there's no threat because the cell mate wasn't female??

You actually have to run the test. If you've never imprisoned a violent dangerous lunatic with women, you don't actually know if he'll be violent to them. Maybe it's just men he's got a problem with.

Might turn into a fluffy little lamb when surrounded by a positive feminine influence.

Got to be worth a try, eh?

Dolatowski. There for two sexual assaults against girls, and deceiving their way into a female refuge with women and children present. (And thumped a male prisoner in the male estate before being moved to the female estate.)

Bryson. Cleared for take off with two rapes of women.

Eastwood: murdered a cell mate. Are we seriously going to try arguing there's no threat because the cell mate wasn't female??

That seems to be what the Justice Minister is claiming.

Scott's not in the female estate yet, I guess?

I think this is very much a careful "present tense" formulation - they have been in the past, and we want there to be more in future, but sadly, at the moment, they're a bit short.

😜

'The minister added that, in exceptional circumstances, a trans woman could be moved to the female estate, but that would require the approval of Scottish ministers.'

Since when?! Is this a new rule?

"You cannot insist on that right if you're a transgender woman or man, to be placed in the estate where you want to be placed.

"It will only happen as a result of a multi-party assessment, a rigorous risk assessment that goes on and that is what determines where people are placed."

Someone put the 'rigorous' risk assessment up on Twitter yesterday, I believe.

It's not the word I would have used.

Perhaps I'm reading that wrong?

'Mr Brown told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme no trans prisoners with a history of violence against women were being held in female prisons.
He also said that none of those was considered a threat.'

He is or isn't including Tiffany Scott in these people?
