A transgender woman, convicted of carrying out a rape when she was a man, has been remanded to a male prison.
The decision to send Davina Ayrton, who changed her name from David three years ago, to Winchester jail comes amid a Ministry of Justice (MoJ) review over where to place transgender prisoners for their own and other inmates’ safety.
Shortly before Christmas two transgender women who had been sent to men’s prisons are believed to have taken their own lives.
Vicky Thompson, 21, was found dead in her cell in November at Armley, a category B men’s prison in Leeds. She had told friends she would kill herself if sent to a male prison.
Joanne Latham, 38, from Nottingham, died in Woodhill prison in Milton Keynes this month after apparently taking her own life. She had been held in the close supervision centre (CSC) unit, reserved for the most dangerous and vulnerable prisoners.

Davina Ayrton
In either prison his life will be messed up. Maybe more so in a womans prison
Execution works better.
Karma
We have to take this country back. They fact that you cannot even say a person’s real gender for fear of offending is a sign that we are VERY FAR GONE.
Davina will be very poplar at the all male prison.
One ugly dude or dudette
He's a rapist. Sending him to a women's prison is like hitting the jackpot.
Does ‘e sing in a metal band?
Doors tribute show?
Something glam-ourous?
According to the story, he hasn’t undergone any treatments or alterations. Therefore he’s still a he, albeit one with a case of mistaken identity.
He looks like Ben Affleck’s buddy with hair.
Hey, you wanna chop it off, that’s your business. You shouldn’t get to do easy time in a women’s prison just because you decided to mutilate yourself.
If your stupid choice makes your prison stay harsher, well, that’s your own fault.
.Not undergone any physical modifications or taken any medication as part of his gender.
.Received Welfare benefits at the time of the rape. .He has a son.
Only one word for it.
FUGLY!
Can’t have it both ways...wait....
I see he kept the package.
So a burly aggressive rapist with a penis wants to go to a women’s prison.
Uh huh.
He’s a rapist. Sending him to a women’s prison is like hitting the jackpot.
I was thinking the butch women in prison might give him beatdowns but then you have a point there
“Joanne Latham, 38, from Nottingham, died in Woodhill prison in Milton Keynes this month after apparently taking her own life. She had been held in the close supervision centre (CSC) unit, reserved for the most dangerous and vulnerable prisoners.”
And it worked so well.
Where they’re sent should be based on their chromosomes, not their surgeries.
