That's actually interesting, the judge actually gave a break to her for being transsexual.  Of course either way, I don't understand how that situation is going to work in a mens jail. . .

If she ends up in a Male prison, it will be in solitary or in the hospital wing.

The most likely outcome is she will end up in a womens prison, again in solitary.

The UK prison service recognizes Gender Dysphoria and treats patients accordingly.
