She worked as a nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Now she is in HMP Bronzefield prison in Surrey. She is in a high-security area called Unit 4. This area holds child killers and women who hurt other women. Prison officers go with Letby every time she leaves her cell. They worry that other prisoners could hurt her. Every day, prison staff check the risk. They use information from other prisoners. A former prisoner said some inmates think Letby is not guilty. But she is still in a special wing for sex offenders. If she walks alone, other prisoners would attack her or say bad things to her. Letby has her own cell with a bathroom. She spends a lot of time alone. Other women in the same wing are Constance Martens and Beinash Batool. Constance Martens was found guilty of causing her baby's death. Beinash Batool was found guilty of killing her stepdaughter. Prison leaders think Letby is a very dangerous prisoner. They want to stop any problem that could hurt her.
