The Scottish Prison Service has proposed that biological males who identify as transgender serve sentences in female prisons, even if they have a history of violence against women. The Telegraph has more.
Trans criminals should serve time in female jails to allow them to prepare for life as women on release, according to “outrageous” new guidance for Scottish prisons.
A Scottish Prison Service (SPS) report said they should “be provided the opportunity and supported to work towards” being housed in a jail cell that “aligns with their affirmed gender”.
This would mean that “on release to the community, they have had the opportunity to live with those who share their affirmed gender”, the guidance said.
A controversial SPS policy was unveiled last week whereby even trans criminals with a history of violence against women could be housed in a female prison if there was “compelling” evidence they did not pose “an unacceptable risk of harm”.
But the detailed guidance on its operation stated that even those deemed too dangerous to be housed in women’s prison could still be allowed to mingle with female inmates in other settings.
It said “there may be other ways of supporting their gender identity, for example through access to work parties, activities or even programmes with others of their gender identity”.
Women’s rights campaigners and the Tories have warned the new policy drastically waters down protections for female inmates introduced following the Isla Bryson scandal earlier this year.

There’s nothing left to say.
Isn’t accommodating these difficult to house prisoners the very reason sex case wings exist in men’s jails?
Lets not be coy here, they think it’s a good idea for a prisoner who probably still has a working todger to be kept confined with a bunch of real females?
What do you think will be the end result, apart from the illicit sh@gging….. there will be a whole lot of drama and jealousies and fights as humans do what they do, and a whole bunch of disruption. Even the armed forces have trouble with, errm, consorting on the job, so to speak, and they have careers to consider!
Maybe they should check that female prisoners are happy having a violent sex offender in the cell next to them.
Once again, I agree with the sentiment of this post, for personal reasons. I mean it’s ludicrous.
But isn’t this just more distraction politics? outrage on the right, outage on the left….meanwhile they, THEY, are screwing all of us. Divide and conquer. Distract and Act.
We are being played if we focus on what they want us to focus on.
The game, the REAL game, is chaos and control.
Blimey! That girl in the picture has a big cokc!
Has there ever been a more disgusting government in the UK than this insidious SNP? This is the government that wanted to spy on all our children with the Named Person Scheme, that was eventually declared illegal. This is the government that wanted to pour concrete in gas wells. This is the government that is being investigated for stealing it’s own Independence money and where Sturgeons husband is being investigated for having a 95 grand Jaguar and formerly expensive Motor Home in his mother’s drive in Dunfermilne. This is the government that will let men into our daughters’ toilets and changing rooms. —-I have never voted Labour but with tories in a meltdown I might be prepared to help bring these SNP parasites down and be rid of them by voting Labour tactically next year.
Since the SPS seems to want to overturn recent decisions made by the Scottish Parliament I expect to see officials charged with sedition.
I think letting them wear a frock and lippy and putting them where they belong – in a male prison – will do far more to help them with their gender identity.
Perhaps they should all be called Roger ….. to help the other prisoners.
This can only work if the authorities get snippy, snippy with the old forceps and scalpel before admitting the criminal to the jail.
