A transgender woman who was locked
up in a men's prison says she was forced to flash at inmates because she was
terrified of being raped. Tara Hudson was only moved from all-male HMP Bristol
to a women's jail following a high-profile campaign.
The 26-year-old, who was born a
man, was caged for attacking a bar manager on a Boxing Day night out.Hudson revealed how she was
labelled a "chick with a d***" and strip-searched by male guards. She
was also taunted with chants that the "Ladyboys of Bangkok had come to
town" during her seven days in the prison.
The make-up artist and glamour
model has lived all her adult life as a woman and has breast implants. She was
later segregated from the 600-plus male inmates at HMP Bristol amid concerns
for her safety.
