A tense court case unfolds as three inmates clash over allegations of transphobia and abuse in prison
Greenock: So, there’s this wild court case going on involving three inmates. It’s all about some serious allegations of transphobia and bullying in prison. Nyomi Fee, who’s serving time for killing her stepson, and her partner Alex Stewart, who transitioned while incarcerated, are at the center of it.
They claim another inmate, Jayney Sutherley, has been harassing them for years. Sutherley, who’s in for a different crime, is accused of calling them nasty names and encouraging others to join in. It’s been a rough ride for Stewart, who says the abuse started back in 2019.
Stewart shared some pretty emotional stuff in court, saying the comments made her feel suicidal at times. She talked about how Sutherley would refer to her in a way that just didn’t sit right. It’s heartbreaking to hear how this has affected her mental health.
Things got even more intense when Sutherley allegedly made fun of Stewart during a karaoke night, suggesting she sing a song that poked fun at her identity. That’s just cruel, right? Stewart also mentioned that Sutherley would make offensive remarks about her and Fee’s relationship.
As the trial goes on, it’s clear that this isn’t just about name-calling. It’s about how people treat each other, especially in such a tough environment. The court is still hearing testimonies, and it’s a reminder of how important it is to stand up against bullying, no matter where it happens.
