Trans prisoner Tiffany Scott dies in jail

A violent transgender prisoner whose transfer to a women's jail was blocked has died in custody.

Tiffany Scott, who was previously known as a man called Andrew Burns, died in HMP Grampian on Thursday.

The 32-year-old was serving an indefinite sentence under an order for lifelong restriction (OLR)

Scott was handed the sentence in 2013, after admitting stalking a 13-year-old girl by sending letters while serving a prison sentence.

A Scottish Prison Service spokesperson said: "Tiffany Scott, 32, of HMP Grampian has died on 29 February 2024. With each death in custody, Police Scotland are advised and the matter reported to the Procurator Fiscal. Fatal Accident Inquiries are held in due course."
