She said: “When I arrived in prison I was terrified, disorientated, ashamed and just really missing my children and worrying about not being there for them.

“When I realised I was to be housed with two men I felt total panic, it was like a wave of fear crashing over me - then I found out one was a murderer and the other someone with a history of violence against women.

“I just wanted to keep my head down but I was feeling increasingly suicidal.

“I will never forget the first time I found myself confronted with this huge man.

“He was in prison for domestic abuse against his female partner and yet here he was being allowed to intimidate women every day.

“We were told his name was Laura and that we would need to call him by that name, while the murderer was called Alex.

“I felt like if I was to misgender them it would be me who would be getting into trouble and possibly having my sentence lengthened.

“We didn’t have showers in our cells and so we had to shower in the communal shower block, so women who were traumatised and vulnerable had to be naked and shower with men in their spaces.



Nah this will never happen...you silly women with your bigoted views

Nicola Sturgeon should be locked up for a week with men pretending to be women see how she gets on
