12 trans sex offenders moved to women’s prisons in Scotland over past 18 months
A dozen trans inmates sentenced for violent and sexual crimes have been serving time in women’s jails in Scotland, according to official data. One has completed gender transition, and the rest merely identify as female.
The figures were made public under the Freedom of Information Act. Another person, who is transitioning from female to male, is being accommodated in a men’s prison.
The revelation comes in the wake of a much-anticipated review of policy regarding transgender prisoners by the Scottish Prison Service (SPS). It was scheduled to begin in early 2021 but has been postponed several times due to the coronavirus pandemic.
