To all of my readers around the world,

First of all, thank you for taking an interest in my blog. I truly appreciate your support, your comments, and the way you continue to spread the love and share the message.

Today, I have an important question for all of you.

If a probation officer is caught fabricating information, lying, and deceiving people in dossiers and official reports, should they face jail time for fraud and deception?

After all, dossiers and reports can be legally binding documents, and the information inside them can seriously affect a person’s life, freedom, reputation, and future.

What do you think?

Should officials who abuse their position and falsify legal documents be held criminally responsible, just like anyone else would be?

Trans inmates leaving women's prisons following court ruling

 Transgender prisoners are being moved to jails according to their biological sex, after the Scottish government confirmed it would not appeal a legal ruling.

On Friday, Lady Ross ruled that Scottish Prison Service (SPS) guidance allowing transgender prisoners to be held in jails for the opposite sex was unlawful based on a Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman in equality law.

First Minister John Swinney confirmed the Scottish government would not appeal a court judgement that prisoners must be housed according to their biological sex.

For Women Scotland (FWS), the campaign group that brought the case to court, said they were pleased the government had "accepted the inevitable".

Justice Secretary Neil Gray said the government accepted the ruling and work was now underway to implement the transfer of prisoners.

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) withdrew its transgender policy, first implemented in 2014, on Monday. 

For Women Scotland was also responsible for challenging the Scottish government at the Supreme Court in April 2025.
The court was asked to decide on the proper interpretation of the 2010 Equality Act, which applies across Scotland, England and Wales.

The court was asked to decide on the proper interpretation of the 2010 Equality Act, which applies across Scotland, England and Wales.
It ruled that the terms "woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex".

The group then took the Scottish government through a judicial review, saying only prisoners born biologically female should be held in the women's estate.
Lawyers for the government had argued this would breach transgender prisoners' human rights.

Lady Ross said the official guidance was "in conflict with the requirement that prison accommodation be provided separately for men and women" and constituted "a mis-statement of the law".
She said: "In all the circumstances, the prisons guidance is unlawful."

'Clear focus on safety'
Swinney said legal arguments over where trans prisoners should be housed had involved a "complicated interaction" of the Equality Act and the European Convention on Human Rights.

Speaking on Tuesday, he said: "Those issues are intensely complex, which is why this issue has been resolved by the Court of Session."
But he said said ministers had concluded "that we should not appeal this judgement" when the issue was considered by cabinet on Tuesday.

However, he refused to apologise for contesting the case, saying: "Sometimes these issues have to be challenged in court to establish the certainty that is required."
Announcing the move, Gray said ministers had given "careful consideration" to the issue following the ruling, including a risk of suicide.

"The Scottish government frequently has to make difficult decisions which balance the different interests and rights of individuals, often in complex situations, and this was one such situation," he said.
"The focus now moves to implementing the law, as clarified by the court, maintaining a clear focus on the safety, well-being and rights of all those living and working within Scotland's prisons," he added.

An earlier review following the conviction of transgender rapist Isla Bryson - previously known as Adam Graham - led to transgender prisoners being initially placed in jails according to their birth sex.


Male-born transgender inmates have been allowed to be incarcerated with women on a case-by-case basis

Susan Smith, a director at For Women Scotland, said they remained "horrified" that SPS ever thought its policy of putting males in women's prisons was "morally justified, let alone lawful".
"Sadly, the statement issued by the minister focused on the men who are to be moved, with no reference to the women who have suffered under this iniquitous policy and who deserve a fulsome apology and an acknowledgement of the harm and trauma they suffered," she said.
She added: "We are pleased that the government has accepted the inevitable and will be moving these men out of female prisons.
"The government must now reflect on the corrosive effect publicly funded lobbyists have had on single-sex provision who operate with no understanding of law and who have now cost the tax-payer millions."
'Vulnerable women prisoners at risk'
Meghan Gallacher, the Scottish Conservatives' equalities spokeswoman, said the SNP had been "dragged kicking and screaming to finally do the right thing and apply the law".
"Male-bodied prisoners should have been removed from the female estate immediately following the clear ruling from the Supreme Court in April 2025," she said.
"Male-bodied prisoners should have been removed from the female estate immediately following the clear ruling from the Supreme Court in April 2025," she said.
"Instead, out-of-touch SNP ministers wasted more taxpayers' money fighting a court case that was doomed from the start, and their reckless decision continued to put vulnerable women prisoners at risk."
She added that the "humiliating climbdown"should "signal the end for Nicola Sturgeon's extreme gender self-ID policy" that "polluted Scottish public life for far too long".
She called on John Swinney to confirm that every government body would guarantee women access to single-sex spaces

Child killer Kyle Bevan 'looked asleep' after stabbing at HMP Wakefield, prison officer tells murder trial

 Jurors at Leeds Crown Court were shown CCTV footage of three inmates who emerged from the victim's cell displaying "something of a satisfied, job-done mood", according to the prosecution.

A child killer, stabbed 25 times in his prison cell, "looked like he was sleeping" when staff went to check on him the next morning, a jury has been told.

Mark Fellows, 45, Lee Newell, 57, and David Taylor, 64, who are on trial at Leeds Crown Court, deny murdering 33-year-old Kyle Bevan at high-security HMP Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

Bevan was serving a life sentence, with a minimum term of 28 years for murdering his stepdaughter, when he was killed on 4 November last year.

Jason Pitter KC, prosecuting, showed the jurors CCTV footage of Bevan entering his cell, followed by the three defendants who, he said, left less than five minutes later.

He added the trio emerged displaying "something of a satisfied, job-done mood".

He was not discovered until the following morning when it was found he had bled to death after a series of stab wounds, some penetrating his jugular vein, aorta and heart.

Mr Pitter told the jury there was "probably more than one weapon".

Bevan, originally from Aberystwyth, was jailed after murdering two-year-old Lola James in Pembrokeshire in 2020.

At Bevan's trial, the court heard she had suffered 101 separate injuries to her body.

On Thursday, prison officer Justin Barrett described finding Bevan's body after intelligence emerged from another prisoner, "that there was something wrong with Bevan".

He told the court: "I opened his [prison door] flap and checked - to me it looked like he was sleeping.

"He was lying on his stomach with his head facing the side… From the distance I couldn't quite see his face but I could just see his head tilting.

"He was lying on his stomach, his leg was off the bed, his head was turned my way, to the left... He looked like he was asleep."

probation date

 I wanted to take a moment to give everyone an update.

My parole hearing is next month. After everything that's happened over the years, it still feels strange to be saying those words. As always, I'll keep you informed and let you know what happens. Once the 15th has passed, I'll come back and share everything that's been going on behind the scenes.

I won't pretend I'm not nervous. Part of me expects the usual obstacles and challenges from probation because that's been the reality for so long. But no matter what happens, I will keep fighting and pushing forward, just as I always have.

More than anything, I want to say thank you.

To everyone who has read this blog, followed my journey, left comments, sent messages, or simply checked in over the years—thank you from the bottom of my heart. There have been times when your support has helped me keep going when things felt impossible. Knowing that people out there cared enough to listen to my story has meant more than words can ever express.

If I am fortunate enough to be granted my release, this won't be the end of the blog. In many ways, it will be the beginning of a completely new chapter. I plan to continue sharing my journey, and I would love to go live on YouTube and Facebook so I can finally speak to many of you face to face and thank you personally for standing by me all this time.

And if that day comes—if I finally walk out after 35 years—I will make sure it is recorded. I honestly don't know how I will react in that moment. I've imagined it for so long that it hardly feels real. After 35 years, to finally step into freedom would be overwhelming, emotional, and something I could never fully prepare myself for.

Whatever happens next month, I want you all to know how grateful I am. Your support has been a light during some very dark years, and I will never forget that.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I'll be back after the 15th with more news.

Until then, take care of yourselves, and thank you for believing in me.
