The new rule laid out by Scotland’s Justice Secretary Keith Brown, means no transgender prisoner with a history of violence will be jailed in a women’s prison.
Mr Brown announced the measures on Sunday, after MSPs voiced anger at reports that prisoner Tiffany Scott’s request to move to the women’s estate had been rubber-stamped.
In a statement, the Justice Secretary said the measures would be in place until the Scottish Prison Service completes a review of its management of trans prisoners. Mr Brown said: ‘I understand that the issue of any trans woman being convicted of violent and sexual offences is a highly emotive subject and that the public concern is understandable.
