A transgender killer who is locked up in a women’s jail says she fears she would not survive if moved to a men’s prison.
Daniel Eastwood was jailed at Dumfries Young Offenders Institution for dangerous driving at age 18 and was a month away from the end of his sentence when he strangled cellmate Paul Algie, 22, to death with shoelaces in 2004.
Eastwood, now 38 and identifying as a female named Sophie, began transitioning while in prison in 2017 and is being held at HMP Cornton Vale – Scotland’s only all-female jail.
