A TRANSGENDER woman convicted of rape will not serve her sentence in Scotland’s only all-female prison, Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed.
The First Minister spoke as the row continued over where Isla Bryson, who was convicted earlier this week of raping two women when she was a man, should be imprisoned.
Sturgeon also confirmed reports that the Scottish Government will block any proposed cuts of teacher numbers by local councils, with the Education Secretary to set out further details in the rest of the week.
