The Record can reveal that volatile Tiffany Scott has been rubber-stamped for transfer to a jail that aligns with her chosen gender
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.
They added: "Isla Bryson’s rape convictions took public perception of the risks to a new level. Cornton Vale staff were bracing themselves for Scott and then the Bryson case showed how ill equipped the SPS is to deal with the most extreme trans prisoners. The decision to move Scott coincided with the passage through the Scottish Parliament of the Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which the SNP Government hopes will enable individuals to transition to another gender more easily.
In 2010, Scott, while still Burns, attacked a nurse while escaping from a Cheshire hospital while under detention, throwing roof tiles at police during a siege on the hospital roof. In 2013, Scott, while still Burns, was sentenced to 14 months for stalking a 13-year-old girl from a cell at Polmont Prison, near Falkirk, by sending letters.
