ROT IN JAIL Whining letters show these evil mums hope for parole... but still pass the blame for their appalling crimes

sings Proud Mary (Tina Turner) we all join in.”

Then after the chit-chat she turns to what she yearns for most – her freedom. “I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t have any hopes or dreams for the future at the moment. I’ve got five years until parole,” she wrote.

Obsessed

“If I had a choice in the future, I would like to live on the coast somewhere, I’m not fussed where.”

Meanwhile, Connelly’s hopes of release are undaunted despite her second attempt just before Christmas being denied.

She was originally jailed in 2009 over Baby P’s death in Haringey, North London. After being freed on licence in October 2013, she was recalled to HMP Styal i n Cheshire 18 months later accused of selling indecent images of herself to perverts obsessed with her notoriety.

In December, 2015, the Parole Board ruled she was still a risk to public safety, adding: “Under current legislatio­n Ms Connelly will be eligible for a further review within two years.”

Her writings reveal she still believes she is innocent despite hiding Barker

and Owen’s tor- ture of her son f r om s ocial workers. She r anted: “I don’t hear from the c***s (Barker and Owen). I hate them so much. I hope they never contact me again. They can rot in hell.” Her dead son’s tormentors are quickly forgotten as she goes on to talk in letters about her divorce, how she has baked a cake and the support she has had from her friends. Writing in 2009 she said: “I’ve been single since I came to prison. I’m still married by law but my solicitor told me the other week that my husband has asked for a divorce.

“I was so happy I baked a cake.

“I’m in no need to have another relationsh­ip because I think I need to find out who I am.

“It is good that my friends have stood by me. These people choose to be at my side in my darkest of hours.

“After all that has been said about me yet they they’re re s still there. With their support, I h hope to come out of th this situation a lot st stronger.”

Connelly formed a si sickening jail friendsh ship with mass mur- derer Rose West who killed at least 10 girls with husband Fred and buried them in their ‘House of Horrors’.

She wrote about how her fellow monster had been helping her lose weight.

She told pals: “Me and Rose live on the same wing, she is teaching me how to cook (better food instead of junk) and we play Scrabble.

“People said we were in a relationsh­ip but where they got the idea I’m a lesbian is beyond me! It’s a shame people believe that rubbish.”

“I’m not sure I will get married again. I can’t see me trusting anyone enough for a long while.

“It would be nice to put my past behind me and have a fresh start.”
