Inmates have given an insight into what it's like behind bars at high security prisons where serial child killer Letby will spend the rest of her life with no possibility of parole
A former inmate has given a chilling insight into what child killer Lucy Letby will face behind bars as she serves her whole life sentence. Letby is one of only four women to be handed that order which gives no hope of ever being let out.
Bronzefield was the subject of a memoir from Sophie Campell called Breakfast At Bronzefield. She was convicted for GBH of a police officer, said violence and bribery was commonplace within the jail’s walls. Releasing her story in 2020, she said: “As well as same-sex relationships thriving in Bronzefield, some female prisoners were engaging in sexual favours with the officers to get drugs or food, and that was a real shock for me.
Another former Bronzefield prisoner, Francesca Fattore, who was jailed for drug offences, recalled the most haunting thing about being in the prison, saying: “The worst thing for me that stood out was the self-harming and the mental health in there for me. I hear the girls screaming all night long because they are mentally insane. It’s not an act, it’s not someone kicking off, They would scream from nine at night until six in the morning and you can’t do that unless you are mentally ill.
Experts have said that Letby will have ‘restricted status’ for an inmate, which is considered the female equivalent of Category A - meaning she is the highest-risk threat to the public. It is said she will be on suicide watch for some months and it will be at least six months before she is integrated with other prisoners, and in general will face at least 22 hours a day in a cell.
