LUCY Letby is living a lonely life behind bars watching DVDs in her cell and serving food in the canteen, a former inmate has claimed.
The baby killer nurse, sentenced to 15 whole-life terms, is serving her time at the UK's largest women's lock-up HMP Bronzefield.
An ex fellow inmate told The Sun Letby, 36, works at the servery in the block housing the most high profile lags and was previously employed in the laundry room.
They claimed Letby is a movie buff who enjoys trading DVDs with her fellow prisoners, and even has her own plush ensuite bathroom inside her cell, with previous reports suggesting she regularly binges reality show Four in a Bed on her Freeview TV.
The source said rumours of her acting like the Queen Bee due to the level of privileges she's afforded are not quite true and she's actually very quiet and keeps to herself, with officers guarding her.
She has to stay on her wing, and be with staff all the time, they said.
Everyone knows who she is in there.
They also say rumours that she has put on weight inside don't appear to be true.
She looks the same, she's still slim, the source explained. A lot of people put weight on in there but she hasn't.
Letby is held on house block 4, reserved for first stage lifers and those with enhanced status due to exemplary conduct.
Others on the same block include Sara Sharif's evil stepmum Beinash Batool and baby killer Sian Hedges.
The unit has better privileges, including personal bathrooms in the cells, according to the insider.
There is also a library on the block where all lags can go with a staff escort to borrow books and DVDs, with Letby known to actively trade films with fellow inmates.
Meanwhile, lags are assigned jobs via a pod system, with one of the favoured roles an activities peer, who gets to organise bingo, quizzes and talent shows.
But despite leaflets pinned on each wing inviting all lags to attend the talent shows, which include inmates showing off their singing voices, they said Letby doesn't attend.
She could've come, but just didn't, they explained of a show they were involved in.
Referring to Letby's unit, the insider added: A lot of people don't want to go over there because that's where the high profile killers are.
They continued: I've seen her around when I've been over there and said hello, but she's quiet and keeps to herself.
Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven more in 2015 and 2016 at Countess of Chester Hospital.
She has always denied any guilt and is actively challenging her convictions through an application to the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
Because she has already exhausted her standard rights to appeal and had her bids systematically rejected by the Court of Appeal, this independent body is now her remaining legal route to have her case sent back to the courts.
It comes after The Sun reported Letby and 10-year-old Sara Sharif's killer stepmum have bonded in prison over family card game Uno.
Letby and Batool, who is serving 33 years over Sara's death, spend hours playing the game in their cushy jail unit, they said.
The pair also allegedly spend time in each other's cells and in the kitchen together.
But their love of the Uno game, which sees players try to match cards and yell Uno when they have just one left, has sparked fury among staff and lags.
A source said: It's a grim spectacle. They spend ages at the table playing and get really into it.
The added: They are both enhanced prisoners, so they get a lot of freedom and can buy decent food. And they are often in the kitchen, chatting and making cheese toasties.
It's previously been claimed Letby had moaned to other lags she was getting too fat and was spending her prison earnings on crisps and sweets.
One fellow inmate complained to the Mirror that Letby's behaviour is annoying other lags and she cries to win sympathy from guards.
They say Letby takes full advantage of the government's Incentives and Earned Privileges Scheme, which is designed to encourage good behaviour among prisoners.
They said that staff are scared of the former nurse so pander to her and treat her like a princess.
She was moaning that she's the fattest she's ever been, the insider said.
She walks around like she's Queen Bee, she stops other enhanced prisoners going to the library because she says I'm scared, I'm scared, I don't know what they'll do to me but what about other people who are enhanced and want to use that library, they can't.
When she and Beinash go to the salon, the whole salon has to be shut down, because they are scared that other prisoners will attack them and obviously there are scissors and stuff there.
The source said the pair go to the salon at least once a month and Letby is always getting her hair and nails done, adding the wing is like an upside down world.
Background on HMP Bronzefield and High Security Prisons
HMP Bronzefield is located in Ashford, Surrey, and operates as a closed prison for women and young adults. Opened in June 2004, it functions as the largest women's prison in Europe, managed privately by Sodexo Justice Services. The facility accommodates a wide range of female prisoners, from those on remand to individuals serving life sentences. High profile offenders often reside in specialized units designed to manage security risks, separate vulnerable individuals, or house prisoners with enhanced privileges based on behavior inside the facility.
Legal Context and Appeal Process in the United Kingdom
The Criminal Cases Review Commission serves as an independent public body established in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland to investigate potential miscarriages of justice. Individuals who have exhausted all standard appeals through the Court of Appeal can submit an application to the commission. If the body uncovers new evidence or legal arguments that suggest a potential wrongful conviction, it holds the power to refer the case back to the Court of Appeal for a fresh review. Legal proceedings involving major criminal cases often span multiple years as defense teams explore every available avenue under British law.
