Female convicts now allowed beard trimmers

Female convicts have been allowed to order beard trimmers in their cells after demanding equal rights to male prisoners.

Inmates at an all-woman jail complained the prison’s “shopping catalogue” excluded the trimmers on sale to men.

Chiefs agreed to include them on the next list. A source at HMP Send in Woking, Surrey, said: “The women were moaning about not getting the same access to beard trimmers as male cons.

“Some here are very proud of their appearance, so want to make sure they are hairless.”
