Transgender prisoner at all-male jail slashed across the face

A transgender prisoner said she ‘doesn’t feel safe around men’ after she was slashed across the face by another inmate in a ‘transphobic’ attack, a court heard.

Marcia Walker, who is living as a woman in a male prison, suffered a 9cm long cut from a ‘sharp implement’ during the attack at Long Lartin Prison in Worcestershire.

Fellow inmate, Paul Tudor, 47, had subjected her to ‘a number of transphobic comments’, before returning with a sharp weapon and attacking her in the library, in December 2015.

In a victim impact statement, read out to the court, Walker said: ‘This incident has left me traumatised and distressed.
‘I do not feel safe around men.’
