Lucy Letby,Child Killer,ITV Documentary

Journalist Paul Brand will be joined by the medical professional who helped catch Letby, Dr Ravi Jayaram, in new documentary After Lucy Letby: Silence on the Wards?.

The twisted crimes of Britain's most prolific child killer Lucy Letby have been examined tonight in a new ITV documentary tonight.

Experts suspect Letby will have limited contact and will mostly interact with prison officers "through the hatch in her cell door". Speaking to the Mirror, the director of family consultancy Bores said: "Any day release for parents' funerals, or anything else, would be based on a risk assessment. I find it extremely unlikely that any sort of temporary release would be granted - for her own safety as much as anything else. Currently, she's being segregated within Low Newton, again to prevent her from being attacked. Social media rumours saying that she's been attacked already are misinformation.

If Letby does serve time at HMP Low Newton, she may receive extra attention as the prison has the UK's only 'Primrose Project', which is designed to treat women with "dangerous and severe personality disorders". In time, it is expected that Letby would be integrated into groups, such as reading clubs or cooking classes, like Rose West, who is said to have become a star baker behind bars.

She will, however, be able to speak to her family and receive visits, which will be vetted by police, though they will be few and far between. A convicted prisoner is usually allowed at least two one-hour visits every four weeks. Letby won't be able to receive emails directly, but she can receive messages through the Email a Prisoner service. These are printed out and delivered by prison staff, with each email costing 40p from Letby's prison cash card.

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. It's so horrible how normalised it is, often gossiped and giggled about. Violence is everywhere. It puts you on edge. You have to be alert as a situation can escalate rapidly. That's why you learn to adopt a new code of conduct inside.
