Inside the prison where Lucy Letby will spend the rest of her life: Evil nurse will die alongside fellow serial killer Joanna Dennehy in HMP Low Newton where inmates sleep in pink cells and get the chance to pet baby animals

• Letby will be held alongside some of the country’s most depraved killers in jail 

Serial killer Lucy Letby will serve life behind bars with the country’s most depraved murderers – but will be held in segregation at first to stop her being attacked.

The 33-year-old will be in HMP Low Newton in Durham alongside Joanna Dennehy, who slayed three men during a 10-day spree in 2013.

It is next door to the so-called ‘Monster Mansion’  HMP Frankland, which holds Ian Huntley, Wayne Couzens and Levi Belfield.

Letby was originally held in HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, but was subsequently moved to HMP New Hall in Wakefield for the trial.

Post-sentence today she will be taken to Low Newton, which is located in the village of Brasside near Durham.

Former inmates include House of Horrors killer Rose West and Baby P’s mother Tracey Connelly.

Currently the most notorious there is Dennehy and another murderer called Emma Aitken.

As a multiple child killer, Letby will be viewed with extreme hostility by most behind bars and likely placed initially into the prison’s segregation unit at first.

The area can hold up to three women and is clean, but lacks some facitilities.

Inspection reports on the jail said: ‘Cells were not well equipped with only a bed, toilet and sink.

‘The regime was limited with only an hour a day in the open air and half an hour to complete daily tasks, such as showering.’

If and when she is put into the main prison population, she may have access to a store which was housed there during the pandemic.

The Rags to Riches shop featured well-known clothing brands which inmates were able to buy.

And the general population wing also features cells which allow some personalisation.

There is also a library at the prison where inmates can borrow books to read behind bars

Photographs from a previous inspection show pink-themed towelling and beauty products are also available.

If the scheme is still running, Letby will also be allowed to pet sheep and goats as a way to keep her calm.

As well as those animals, the prison also has a resident rabbit and two birds which are looked after by prisoners. 

The scheme was revealed in a new report by the Independent Monitoring Boards, a group which ensures prisoners are treated humanely behind bars. 

The IMB noted that petting the animals had a ‘calming effect’ on even the most ‘challenging’ of prisoners. 

Low Newton — a maximum security jail and Young Offender Institution — is considered a leader in changing the behaviour of dangerous female offenders. 

It is home to the ‘Primrose Project’, designed to treat women with ‘dangerous and severe personality disorders’ — the only women’s prison in the UK with such a unit.

The Ministry of Justice and Prison Service refused to comment to MailOnline about where Letby would be be serving her sentence.
