The mother of a trans offender at the centre of a new jail storm has claimed her daughter’s offending is the result of years of bullying.
Sharon Macklin claims that her daughter, Harryetta Thompson, has been constantly victimised during a traumatic life and a battle with mental and physical health problems.
The Daily Record told yesterday how Thompson, 33, was moved into segregation at Cornton Vale, Scotland’s only all-women jail, after word spread about her past sex crimes.
