A courtroom was put into lockdown today for the sentencing of a transexual prisoner said to be one of the most dangerous inmates in the whole of the Scottish prison system.
Tiffany Scott, formerly known as Andrew Burns, was led into the dock, half naked to the waist, wearing the remains of a shirt torn to shreds, before shouting vile abuse at a sheriff.
Scott, 26, smeared excrement over her cell, tore a drip needle out of his own arm, ripped up supposedly tear-proof clothing, and assaulted four warders and a prison nurse during days of "dirty protest" at Glenochil Prison, Clackmannanshire, which is renowned as one of Scotland's toughest jails.
