"For the second time in a matter of weeks a trans woman prisoner has been found dead in her cell at a men's prison.

Joanne Latham was found hanged at the HMP Woodhill prison in Milton Keynes, the BBC has reported.


According to a Prison Service report, the 38-year-old who was 2001 serving life for attempted murder, barricaded herself in her cell.

She was given a subsequent life sentence for attempted murder whilst serving her original sentence in HM Frankland in 2007."
