The Scottish government said on Sunday it would review the management of trans prisoners and introduce measures in the meantime to stop transgender people with a history of violence against women being placed in female prisons.
On Thursday, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that a transgender woman convicted of rape would be moved out of an all-female prison after concerns were raised over the safety of other inmates.
On Sunday, the government said no newly convicted transgender prisoner with a history of violence against women would be placed in a female prison, and that no transgender person already in custody would be moved from a male prison to a female one.
