Nicola Sturgeon faces another trans storm after a decision was made to house one of Scotland’s most violent prisoners in a women’s jail. The Record can reveal that volatile Tiffany Scott - who stalked a 13-year-old girl while known as Andrew Burns - has been rubber-stamped for transfer to a jail that aligns with her chosen gender.

“As it stands, Scott will be admitted to a women’s jail - probably the New HMP Stirling later this year - and held in segregation. This will very possibly lead to full integration with the main prison community.
“This highly disturbed prisoner has attacked female staff during time in prison, has admitted stalking a young girl and has been one of the most menacing people inside Scottish jails. It’s madness to send her to a women’s jail - there needs to be a better solution than this.”
The decision to move Scott coincided with the passage through the Scottish Parliament of the Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which the SNP
