HMP/YOI Downview: Transgender People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many biological males are held in HMP Downview.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
As of 1 July, seven prisoners were being held on E Wing, the separate unit for transgender women at HMP/YOI Downview. There were no transgender women being held in other parts of the prison.
We are reviewing allocation policy in light of the Supreme Court ruling and will set out any changes in our approach in due course.
