A prison source has disclosed that Lucy Letby, the nurse convicted of murdering seven children and attempting to murder seven others at the NHS Countess of Chester Hospital, is currently serving multiple life sentences at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey. Letby, 35, is reportedly housed in Unit Four, a section designated for ‘enhanced inmates’ who exhibit good behavior. This status grants them certain privileges such as additional visits, access to a personal TV in the cell, and the freedom to wear some personal clothing.
According to an insider, Letby spends her time engaged in various activities within the unit, including cleaning, workshops, and education. However, she particularly enjoys watching the reality TV show Come Dine With Me, often requesting to return to her cell during marathons of the program. In addition, Letby is known to stash packets of Maltesers and Minstrels in her cell, which she purchases with money from friends and family.
Reports suggest that Letby was upgraded to enhanced status due to concerns about potential attacks from other inmates. Despite being described as reserved and quiet, staff members are reportedly frustrated by her privileges, given the severity of her crimes. Letby was sentenced to 15 life terms in August 2023 and received a whole life order, ensuring she will remain in prison indefinitely. Despite unsuccessful appeals, her legal team has filed a claim of miscarriage of justice earlier this year.
