LAG BARBIE MOVED TO A MALE PRISON

‘Nightmare' trans convict under strict regime to keep others safe

- JOHN HAND

"NIGHTMARE" inmate Barbie Kardashian has been transferred to a male prison - but remains under a restricted regime for the safety of others.

Sources say Kardashian, who identifies as a trans woman after she secured a gender recognition certificate, has been moved into Limerick Prison's D block in recent days.

The lag had been housed in an isolation unit of the now-defunct female part of the jail.

It has since closed and a new facility has opened on the site.

A factor behind the move to the male prison was Kardashian's behaviour towards women.

But measures are in place for the safety of others meaning she is allowed out of her cell only when other inmates are locked in theirs.
