THIS is the cushy prison where serial baby killer Lucy Letby faces spending the rest of her life after being told she’ll die behind bars.
The evil nurse, 33, is expected to be caged at maximum-security HMP Low Newton in County Durham, where prisoners have included fellow serial killer Rose West.

Other inmates have included Tracey Connelly, the evil mum of Baby P who was abused and died in Tottenham, north London, and extremist Roshonara Choudhry, who stabbed MP Stephen Timms in 2010.
Mairead Philpott who, along with her husband Mick, started a fire that killed six of her children and Karen Matthews, who faked the kidnapping of her daughter Shannon, have also spent time there.
At the prison, inmates can pet sheep and goats and look after a rabbit and birds – all in a bid to keep them “calm”, a report by the jail’s Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) has revealed.
The prison also boasts a shop where inmates can buy clothing.
Inmates in parts of the prison can decorate their own rooms – while pink towelling and beauty products are also on offer.
Twisted Letby was last week found guilty of murdering seven babies during a nearly 10-month trial.
She was also convicted of attempting to kill six other newborns.
She used insulin and air to inject newborns in a year-long killing spree while working on the neo-natal ward at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Cheshire.
Letby was today given a whole life tariff for murder, which means she will never be released.
She is expected to serve her sentence at HMP Low Newton.
Images have revealed inside the prison, where despite its maximum-security conditions there are colourful drapes and paintings on walls.
An alternative option is being sent to HMP Bronzefield in Ashford in Surrey, the largest female prison in Europe.

Other female serial killers given whole life orders include West, Moors Murderer Myra Hindley and Joanna Dennehy
West and Dennehy are among the inmates to have spent time at Low Newton, which was built in 1965.
It became an all-female maximum-security prison 33 years later while also housing young offenders.
Shameless Letby today refused to attend Manchester Crown Court as the judge handed down his sentence – prompting families’ anger.
There were also tears in court as the brave relatives of Letby’s victims read powerful victim impact statements.
Experts have said Letby’s possible motives included an “obsession” with a doctor at the hospital and enjoyment of a sick “thrill”.
