Prison bosses have claimed no women were put at risk by the decision to send a transgender rapist to Cornton Vale.
The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) faced uproar last month when it was revealed that Isla Bryson - who carried out two rapes while living as a man - was transferred to a women's prison following her conviction.
The rapist was later moved to a men's jail after the Scottish Government announced two reviews of how transgender cases in the prison system are handled.
The first review by the SPS was handed to justice secretary Keith Brown last night - but only a summary of its findings has now been made public.
Opposition parties branded the report a "whitewash of no substance".
Prison bosses insisted that Bryson did not come into contact with any other inmates after she was initially transferred from the High Court in Glasgow to Cornton Vale, near Stirling, on January 24.
Brown said: "I want to acknowledge my concern for victims of crime and the distress caused to them.
"It is important that consideration of issues relating to the management of prisoners is measured and does not retraumatise victims or risk unintended consequences for transgender people or individuals in the care of SPS."
SPS chief executive Teresa Medhurst claimed it was "not necessary" to publish the full report due to the level of personal information it contains.
The pair will now face questions from the Scottish Parliament's justice committee later this month.
Recommendations made by the review include improved communication within the justice sector and the creation of a “shared justice process” for the admission of transgender people into prisons.
Russell Findlay, Scottish Conservatives justice spokesman, said: "As expected, this whitewash summary

tweeted that “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” drawing furious responses from the left and more moderate right.“This is so laughable because blue states as we all know are the donor states, or the states where taxpayers take it on the chin to take care of districts like Marjorie Taylor Greene’s, to take care of districts across taxes where Ted Cruz talks about secession,” host Joe Scarborough said on Tuesday’s episode of “Morning Joe.”“What is it that so deeply offends [Republicans], like three trans athletes in Utah want to swim? Is that real?” he asked guest commentator Charlie Sykes.Both agreed that calls for a “national divorce” were not to be taken as a serious possibility, but rather as a tactic to collect funds from right-wing supporters.“It’s fascinating that they’re so desperate to raise money from small donors, they’re actually willing to say, we need to have a civil war,” Scarborough pointed out.Sykes agreed that their motives were purely “to keep racheting up the outrage.” Still, such rhetoric is not without danger, he said.“People like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Ron DeSantis are appealing to the id of the party, the id of the right, which is anti-Ukraine, which is willing to tolerate this sort of notion that our real enemy is not Vladimir Putin.

A trans prisoner with a history of sex crimes against children has been moved into segregation in a women’s jail after word got out about her offences.
Hobart councillor and former mayoral candidate Louise Elliot on Monday introduced a motion to have segregated toilet facilities for trans persons and to exclude them from change rooms that correspond to their gender.Trigger Warning: This story discusses anti-trans statements, which might be distressing to some readers. For 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention call Lifeline on 13 11 14. For Australia-wide LGBTQI peer support call QLife on 1800 184 527 or webchat.LGBTQI activists said councillor Elliot’s motion in the Hobart City Council violates Tasmania’s “gold standard” anti-discrimination laws. The councillor claimed that the motion was intended to make community members “feel safe and comfortable using the City’s change rooms, and toilet and shower facilities,” but on social media, the councillor Elliot turned on the anti-trans rhetoric. “Changes to Tasmania’s legislation have created an insane situation where women (and girls) no longer have the assurance that they’re dressing or showering in shared spaces where only other adult biological females are present,” Elliot said on her official page on . “This is about recognising the reality that many women feel unsafe or uncomfortable sharing vulnerable spaces like change rooms, toilets and showers with biological males,” Elliot claimed. In 2020, Elliot reportedly addressed an email to non-binary councillor Jax Fox and signed off as “Kermit (Louise) Elliot” and added “riddup – I identify as a frog”.According to Rose Boccalatte, spokesperson for Equality Tasmania, the Aquatic Centre has had inclusive facilities for over four years without any complaints. Boccalatte said that the councillor’s proposed motion was an “unacceptable solution to a non-existent problem”
