Lucy Letby will spend the rest of her days behind bars after being handed a whole-life order for killing babies under her care.
The 33-year-old former neonatal nurse will spend the rest of her life behind bars after killing seven babies in her care and attempting to murder six others between 2015 and 2016. Letby killed her infant victims by injecting them with air or insulin and overfeeding them with milk while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
The woman, who was convicted for GBH of a police officer, said violence and bribery was commonplace within the jail's walls. Francesca Fattore, who was another ex-prisoner at Bronzefield, recently opened up about what it was like during her six-year long stay. The 43-year-old, who has since turned her life around and is now the assistant manager at a car company, explained that when entering HMP Bronzefield, she initially didn't want to know about the crimes fellow inmates had committed. But she soon had a change of heart after spending days anxiously looking over her shoulder."I would never kick off on the wing because in my head when I went to prison that was it for me, I was going to change so I had to behave.
She will start off her whole life sentence living in the hospital wing of the prison while they assess her mental and physical health and protect her from other inmates. Eventually, she'll be moved into her own cell.
