She said: “I was told nothing about my mum and I wanted answers.” When she got some, her feeling was: “She deserves to spend the rest of her life in prison.

“I’m sorry to the victims. I can’t imagine what they went through.”

West previously served her sentence at HMP Bronzefiel­d but was moved to Low Newton in 2008 after a plot to batter her with pool balls in a sock was discovered.

She is said to have became pals with another notorious female inmate Tracey Connelly, now 38, who allowed her toddler son know as Baby P to be killed by her boyfriend and his brother.
