Who's More Insane..?

A convicted killer and transgender woman has been given a dummy by prison guards after claiming she now identifies as a baby.
Sophie Eastwood, 36, who received a life sentence for strangling her cellmate with shoelaces, has also asked for nappies and baby food.
Him, or the prison warders acquiesing to these extraordinary demands?
A young offender known as Daniel at the time, Eastwood was jailed in a young offenders' institute at 18 for dangerous driving.
She was a month away from the end of her sentence when she strangled Mr Algie.
Guards then dubbed her 'Hannibal Lecter Jr' for her wicked mind games.

It's been a long time since I watched the film or read the book, but I'm pretty sure the authorities only grant privileges to Lecter when they want something from him... 

After realising she wasn't a gay man in 2016...

*rolls eyes* 

...Eastwood transitioned four years ago. She finished her 15-year minimum jail term in 2019 but has not been considered for release.

Even the prison service draws a line somewhere, then! 

She has also demanded guards hold her hand when she leaves her cell. And prison wardens are taking her demands seriously.

*blinks* 

The SPS source replied: 'Eastwood is a complex person and intelligent but she is pretty demanding on the resources of the prison and enjoys being the centre of attention.' She might just be 'attention seeking', they added.

Ya think?!? 

Even so, the idea is being given 'proper consideration' for 'human rights reasons', they said.

The only 'proper consideration' this should be given is to laugh in his face as the cell door clangs shut.

"Eastwood is a complex person and intelligent"

Wrong: there are two possibilities:-

1) Eastwood is a complete fruitcake

2) Eastwood is playing the system and taking the p.

I know which one I lean towards...
