A TRANS killer who identifies as a BABY has been moved from a woman’s prison to an all-male jail, we can reveal.
Daniel Eastwood – who uses the name Sophie – is serving a life sentence for strangling a cell mate to death in 2004.
Eastwood was originally jailed for dangerous driving at 18 and was just a month away from release when he killed Paul Algie, 22, at Dumfries Young Offenders Institute.
The 38-year-old then began transitioning while in prison in 2017 and was later granted a switch to Cornton Vale women’s nick.
Earlier this year the prison found itself at the centre of a row over transgender inmates after convicted rapist Isla Bryson– who attacked two women while living as Adam Graham – was initially housed there.
In the wake of the controversy, the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) announced a full case review for every transgender person currently in custody.
And now Eastwood has been moved to tough HMP Shotts in Lanarkshire.
Last night, an insider said: “This is a big move as Eastwood will be one of the first trans prisoners moved to a male jail.
“Eastwood is a danger to the female population and should be housed with men.
“Eastwood even identified as a baby and demanded baby food and a dummy – that is just taking the p*** .
“To say Eastwood isn’t happy about the switch is an understatement.”
Eastwood was ordered to serve a minimum 15 years at the High Court in Glasgow but has now served 19.
Last night a Scottish Prison Service spokesperson said: “We do not comment on individuals.
“All trans men and trans women in our care are accommodated in a way which meets the risks and needs of them as individuals, and others in the establishment.”
Bryson was born Adam Graham and raped two women before transitioning prior to his case calling at court.
Shadow justice Secretary, Russell Findlay, said: “The sending of a rapist to a woman’s prisons exposed the dangerous reality of the SNP’s gender self-ID agenda – and rightly forced a review of trans prisoners.
“Prison staff will have assessed all factors, especially the safety of vulnerable female inmates, before deciding on this transfer.”
