Scottish Prison Service halts movement of trans inmates as it announces ‘urgent review’

Scotland to pause movement of all transgender inmates until after review complete

The Scottish Prison Service has announced an “urgent review” of all transgender cases in its prisons.

It will pause the movement of all transgender inmates until the review is completed, it said in a statement on Sunday.

The move follows the controversial case of Isla Bryson, a trans woman convicted of raping two women before changing gender.
