There are few prisoners in Scotland who have had so many words spoken and articles written about their crimes.
Isla Bryson, or Adam Graham, has drawn the focus of politicians and campaigners from across the country. Now Bryson’s mother has added her weight to the doubt around his gender identity after he claimed he believed since the age of four that he was transgender.
Janet Bryson said her son had never expressed any wish to change gender at any age and – as a victim of rape herself – believes Bryson should not have been allowed in a women’s prison in any circumstances. This increasingly fraught issue is just one in a long list of items giving Nicola Sturgeon a major headache.
