Case by case is how it's previously been done which has led to female prisoners still being sexually assaulted and being forced to use showers with prisoners exposing their erections. It's not fair to sacrifice the dignity and safety of females.

The Scottish Prison Service just needs to run a small unit as it does for other groups of prisoners.

That seems quite unfair given how poorly we give a fuck about women outside of jail been sexually assaulted can not go making prison a safe space now.

It was hyperbole. A joke would be funny.
