It came after Frake, a prison governor with 27 years’ experience, told The Times that a blanket ban on trans women being held in female prisons was wrong.
She said that the decision should be taken “on an individual basis” after a risk assessment but that trans prisoners she had overseen were on the whole “accepted” by the rest of the prison population.
She added that those who advocated for a blanket ban “clearly have never stepped foot in a prison and seen how prison runs”.
Asked for his view on the issue, Farage said: “When it comes to trans women in prisons, isn’t it interesting that we run our country with people who become ministers who generally have absolutely no idea of the subject matter that they’re talking about.
“I personally never worked in a prison, so I can’t answer it. But I think you’ll find that the answer you’ll get from somebody who has worked in prisons at the highest possible level is: it’s basically about risk assessment, isn’t it?”
Farage said: “In terms of the problems in prisons, it’s a relatively small one”, to which Frake answered: “Yes.
