Tara Hudson, 26, from Bath, was jailed and placed at HMP Bristol Prison (England) for 12 weeks after admitting to assault charges. Her situation prompted a nationwide campaign that was backed by thousands of supporters, and has gathered serious media momentum.

During the appeal at Bristol Crown Court, the judge asked for consideration to be made by the court and prison service to where she will serve her sentence.The Recorder of Bristol, Llewelyn Sellick, said Hudson had a ‘worrying criminal record which contained numerous offenses". He added: “It is for the prison service and not the court to establish where a sentence should be served.”

A staggering 140,000+ people have signed petitions asking her to be move to an all female prison, and supporters claiming she is in danger of sexual violence. Hudson has had reconstructive surgery and has lived as a woman her whole adult life, but is still legally considered a man. The make-up artist was jailed last Friday after admitting to head-butting a barman in Bath, damaging his teeth, and magistrates said the assault – which came three weeks after she had been given a conditional discharge- was so serious that only jail time could be justified.She was sent to HMP Bristol, an all-male facility which holds around 600 inmates.

Where do you think she should do her time?
