Ban on trans women in female prisons in England and Wales extended, says justice secretary
Rules banning some transgender women from female prisons in England and Wales come into force on Monday, the justice secretary has said.
Transgender women who cannot be safely accommodated in a men's prison can be imprisoned in a specialist unit, the government added. The reason the policy is coming into force on Monday, despite having been announced four months ago, is because it has taken "time to do it very carefully and assiduously", Mr Raab told Sky News on Sunday.
Following outcry from politicians and the public, she was moved to a male prison within days. But Mr Raab said the rules were not a reaction to Bryson's case.
