Furious female inmates had to contain their anger as Baby P's mum laughed, joked and bossed them around at a prison reading group.
But a former prisoner who served time with Tracey Connelly in a North East jail said no-one could ever get close enough to harm her.
In one of the UK's most shocking child cruelty cases, Connelly's son Peter, who was known as Baby P, died in agony after suffering 50 horrifying injuries at his home in North London.
