"Transgender woman found dead in cell at HMP Doncaster"
Simple question - is the issue of trans in prison being handled well? Simple answer - No. But then is the issue of prisons generally being handled well?
A later report says "A prisoner was found hanged in her cell days after pulling out of a suicide pact with three other transgender inmates, an inquest heard.
Jenny Swift was found in her cell at HMP Doncaster, a male prison, last December.
Another transgender prisoner, Paris Clarke, told Doncaster Coroner's Court on Monday that the pair decided to leave the suicide pact together.
The night before she died she was "just happy", Ms Clarke said."
