Nicola Sturgeon told to step in to stop transfer of trans prisoner Tiffany Scott to women's jail
The First Minister should step in to prevent the transfer of a transgender prisoner to the female prison estate, the Conservatives have said.
Earlier this week, Isla Bryson was initially taken to Cornton Vale after being convicted of two rapes which took place when she was a man known as Adam Graham. She said: "The fact that such a violent and dangerous criminal is set to be transferred to a women's prison is absolutely appalling. "Such decisions seek to protect both the wellbeing and rights of the individual as well as the welfare and rights of others around them, including staff, in order to achieve an outcome that balances risks and promotes the safety of all.
