Baby P's Mother Tracey Connelly Recalled to Prison for License Breach
September 4, 2024Connelly was sentenced to a minimum five-year term in 2008 after pleading guilty to her role in Peter's death.
Connelly, along with her partner Steven Barker and his brother Jason Owen, was convicted for their roles in Peter's death, which drew widespread criticism of Haringey Council's child protection services.
The recall was authorized by Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, emphasizing the government's commitment to enforcing strict conditions for offenders.
Connelly will have to appear before the Parole Board again within two years to be considered for re-release.
Despite ongoing public concern regarding her actions, the specific reasons for Connelly's latest recall to prison remain undisclosed.
Connelly was originally jailed in 2009 for causing or allowing the death of her 17-month-old son, Peter, who suffered horrific injuries while in her care.
The case of Baby P highlighted severe failures in child protection services, as he had been visited by social services 60 times before his death.
Tracey Connelly, the mother of Baby P, has been recalled to prison for breaching her license conditions just two years after her release.
The specific nature of her license breach has not been disclosed, but it marks her second recall since her initial release.
Connelly was released from prison in July 2022 under strict conditions, including wearing an electronic tag and adhering to a curfew.
Previously, she faced legal issues for selling nude photos online while on release, which cost over £500,000 in public legal aid during her trial.
Baby P's father expressed relief at Connelly's return to prison, stating he was 'happy' she would be incarcerated again.
