Baby-killer Lucy Letby given special prisoner status days into life sentence
Former nurse Lucy Letby is said to be living on a prison unit with "all the benefits" after being granted special status just days into her whole life sentence at HMP Bronzefield Child killer Lucy Letby is said to be raking in extra privileges like more cash to spend on treats and extra time out of her cell that allows her a weekly visit. The former neonatal nurse is serving a whole life order for the murder of seven babies, as well as the attempted murder of seven more between 2015 and 2016. Just days into her sentence at HMP Bronzefield, Letby was fast-tracked to an enhanced prisoner status. According to an insider, she was given the upgrade to ensure her safety among other prisoners in different units. "Lucy is reserved and very quiet, she isn't really a problem with staff," they told MailOnline. "It grates with officers though - she's committed the worst crimes possible and here she is on the enhanced unit with all the benefits that come with it. Again the real reason she is here is safety, she would be attacked on any other unit." Letby was moved straight from her induction to Unit Four - a wing reserved exclusively for enhanced inmates, according to a prison source. No matter the crime, all prisoners are automatically given standard status after sentencing, but Letby is believed to have been swiftly fast-tracked. Her privileged status also means she now has a cleaning job and is entitled to a weekly visit - double the allowance for regular prisoners. Roughly a quarter of inmates at Bronzefield are classified as enhanced. Letby shared the unit with former prison officer Linda De Sousa Abreu, 31, who was jailed after being caught on camera having sex with a prisoner. She too was fast-tracked to Unit Four - reportedly for her own protection - after serving as a guard at HMP Wandsworth. Enhanced prisoners are allowed to spend £33 a week in the prison canteen. Standard-status inmates get £19.80, while those on "basic" punishment status receive just £5.50. A 2023 menu from HMP Chelmsford shows some of what's on offer: Kinder Bueno bars for 60p, Snickers for 80p, and cans of Pepsi for 59p. Letby, 35, is one of just four female prisoners in the UK to be handed a "whole life order", which she received in August 2023. It came after her conviction for murdering babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016. As she continues to maintain her innocence, her case has drawn the attention of high-profile figures - including former health secretary Jeremy Hunt, who has called for it be reviewed. In the wake of her sentencing, the Thirlwall inquiry was also set up to investigate how the crimes were allowed to happen. Hunt said the most disturbing evidence came from 14 paediatric specialists, who ruled the deaths or injuries of the newborns happened as a result of natural causes or errors in medical care. "It pains me to say it - this analysis raises serious and credible questions about the evidence presented in court," he said. The Mirror has contacted the Ministry of Justice and HMP Bronzefield for comment.

Lucy Letby given 'prison privileges' including cash for sweets and double visits
Lucy Letby is believed to have been swiftly fast-tracked to enhanced prisoner status just days after being locked up at HMP Bronzefield - allowing her extra privileges Lucy Letby was reportedly granted enhanced prisoner status just days into her sentence at HMP Bronzefield, giving her extra privileges like more cash for sweets and chocolate - as well as extra time outside her cell.

Inside Disha Patani's 33rd Birthday Bash Featuring Nine Decadent Cakes
Is there such a thing as too much cake? Not if you ask Disha Patani. As she celebrated her 33rd birthday on June 13, the actress gave fans a peek into her Instagram-worthy celebration, and it was pure dessert magic. With a jaw-dropping lineup of nine different cakes, each one a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, her birthday turned into a full-on sugar spectacle. From vibrant layers to rich chocolate drips, every cake brought its own charm to the party. But the real highlight was Disha's radiant smile as she laughed, danced, and savoured every moment. Her birthday carousel kicked off with a snap of Disha posing beside four half-devoured cakes, all adorned with delightful decorations. One was a rich dark chocolate creation, captioned "My Goofy Dishu," likely a heartfelt note from someone close to her. Another was a vibrant rainbow cake - classic vanilla with cream cheese frosting, topped with swirls of whipped cream and sprinkles. The third looked like a cheesecake, finished with a caramelised sugar topping, while the fourth appeared to be a chocolate truffle cake layered with dark chocolate frosting and garnished with berries. Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by disha patani (paatni) 🦋 (@dishapatani) In another frame, Disha was caught mid-dance as her best friend serenaded her with a playful, self-composed song titled "No Man Deserves You." She cut into two more standout cakes: one a quirky orange-hued creation featuring a caricature of her ninja persona alongside fierce basketball-themed toppers, and the other a chocolate-loaded masterpiece with creamy swirls, Kinder Bueno bars, and rich frosting that practically demanded a taste. But the birthday cake trail didn't end there. In a snapshot from a popular dessert cafe, Disha was seen eyeing a trio of treats with childlike glee. One plate featured a fluffy Japanese cheesecake paired with a scoop of butterscotch ice cream and a waffle on the side. Another displayed a Mango Swiss roll, its thin sponge cake wrapped around airy whipped cream. The final cake? A classic chocolate beauty, elegantly topped with a pink flower and crisp embellishments. From decadent chocolate to playful custom creations, Disha's birthday was a sweet celebration in every sense. Between the cake overload, intimate rituals, and cherished moments with loved ones, it's safe to say her day was as memorable as it was mouthwatering.
