New rules also cover transgender women ‘with their male genitalia intact’, says Dominic Raab
Rules barring some transgender women from female prisons in England and Wales are to come into force on Monday, the justice secretary has announced.
Speaking on Sunday, Raab said this would take force from Monday but would also cover trans women who had been convicted of a violent offence. “From next week we will introduce new rules, which means that any trans offender with their male genitalia intact or who have been convicted of a sexual offence, and adding to that, if they have been convicted of a violent offence, they will not be allowed into the female prison estate.”
