"The number of female transgender prisoners placed in women's prisons in Scotland has surpassed England and Wales after rapist Isla Bryson was convicted yesterday, MailOnline believes.

According to a recent report published by the Scottish Prison Service (SPS), there were 11 trans women and five trans men in Scottish prisons at the end of June 2022.
Of the 11 trans women, six were held in men's prisons and five were held in women's prisons. If the figures remain the same today, Bryson and Dolatowski would take that to seven trans women in women's prisons – more than the six in England and Wales cited in a recent Ministry of Justice report.
Of the five trans men in Scottish jails, who were born female, one was held in a men's prison and four were held in women's prisons last year.
Bryson, who was Adam Graham when carrying out the violent sex attacks in 2016 and 2019, began transitioning after being charged by police. New figures emerged today revealing eight other male and female trans criminals in Scotland did the same after being convicted or remanded in custody."
