TRANS ROW PRISONER: OFFICERS HAVE IT IN FOR ME..

Violent con writes letter to Record claiming to be victim of vendetta by officers at Low Moss, Prison service admits staff have been investigated after complaints but denies sackings or police charges

TRANS row prisoner Tiffany Scott has written to the Record claiming she has been abused by staff.

The convicted stalker alleges prison officers in various jails have waged a vendetta against her.

In her letter Scott, who is held on a Lifetime Restriction Order, alleges prison officers have been disciplined after she was victimised and suffered sexual abuse.

The transfer of the 31-year-old - formerly known as Andrew Burns - from HMP Low Moss jail to a women's prison later this year was blocked after the Record revealed the Scottish Prison Service plans.

The political storm, which brought huge criticism for Nicola Sturgeon, led to the halting of all trans female prisoners being initially sent to female prisons.

Scott has written to the Record from a cell in the male prison, where she has been held in a segregation unit.

The prisoner, known to have made many false claims against officers in the past, was furious to find her case had become the focus of national outrage.

She claimed "malicious lies" had been spread about her.
