A transgender paedophile is being kept in isolation at a men's prison because she is too dangerous for a women's jail, reports say.
Marcia Walker, 48, was jailed for 13 years in 2003 after raping two girls - one of whom was aged four - and has also served time for assault and bomb hoaxes.
The child rapist, formerly known as Mark Walker, is being kept at the Category A men's prison HMP Frankland in County Durham.
Prison chiefs have now decided that Walker would pose a risk if moved to a women's jail, The Sun reports.
Inmates are now said to be 'furious' because they are reportedly kept in their cells for 45 minutes so Walker can wash and eat alone.
A source said: 'She has to be treated as a woman but cannot be moved to a female prison because she poses a risk.
'And, as she's legally a woman, she must be kept apart from male inmates.'
The Prison Service told MailOnline: 'Transgender prisoners do not receive special treatment and have access to the same facilities as male prisoners.'
