Scots jail boss says housing trans prisoners like rapist Isla Bryson is 'no real problem'

Scotland’s biggest prison has said he does not “foresee any real problems” with transgender prisoners following the Isla Bryson case.Bryson, a transgender double rapist originally known as Adam Graham, sparked a political storm earlier this year after being convicted and sent to HMP Cornton Vale - Scotland’s only all-female prison.The courts, however, had slated Bryson to be held at Barlinnie in Glasgow before a shift was made by the prison’s contractors.The 31-year-old was eventually moved to HMP Edinburgh after public and political outcry, with the Scottish Prison Service saying Bryson never came into contact with other inmates while at Cornton Vale.Bryson was sentenced to eight years in prison for rape and is currently housed at HMP Edinburgh.In an interview with The Herald newspaper, Barlinnie governor Michael Stoney said the prison had a long history of housing transgender prisoners.“We’ve been dealing with transgender prisoners for a while now and without any fuss or bother,” he said.“I don’t foresee any real problems following this case either.”Responding to Bryson’s case, then justice secretary Keith Brown ordered that no transgender prisoners with a history of violence against women be housed in a female prison until the completion of a long-awaited review of the prison service’s gender policy.

Lady Camden dishes on revealing doc ‘Lady Like,’ wig malfunctions & the best drag advice she’s ever received
RuPaul’s Drag Race is such a cultural mainstay that there’s as much talk about “narrative” as there is the actual competition, with fans debating over how queens’ time on the show is edited to give them a compelling story across any given season.In that sense, it has to be strange to be a queen joining the massively popular television show and introducing yourself to the wider world—albeit a version of yourself that is edited out of your control, and one that viewers will make snap judgments of based on what they see on the screen.That incongruity is at the heart of Lady Like, a fascinating new documentary from Luke Willis about London-born drag queen Lady Camden (a.k.a. Rex Wheeler)—who was runner-up on Drag Race Season 14—delving into what it takes to maintain one’s sense of self amidst skyrocketing to fame.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Camden’s narrative, so to speak, saw her pirouetting into the competition as something of an underdog, only to emerge as a serious threat for the crown midway through the season after a scene-stealing performance in a comedy acting challenge and a runway that included a gasp-inducing (planned) fall.Of course, that was just the beginning for Camden, and Lady Like pulls back the curtain to show us the artist beneath the wigs as she grapples with millions of people suddenly knowing who she is and manages to blaze a trailer of her own, both in drag and the world of ballet.Even the most ardent Drag Race fans will be wowed by this candid, thoughtful, and ultimately joyful look at a queen’s life in the spotlight.With Lady Like now available on most major digital VOD platforms, we invited Lady Camden to be the first guest in our on-going Q&A series Dishin’ It for 2025.
