The mum of murdered tot Star Hobson is set for a 200-mile prison move after fellow lags told her: “Get out of Yorkshire.”
Frankie Smith had been placed in HMP New Hall, near Flockton, West Yorks, after being locked up for her role in the death of 16-month-old Star.
But she could now be moved to the other end of the country after threats from inmates.
A prison source said: “Smith is currently kept in her cell most of the time.
“She hasn’t been cleared to work due to threats from the other women.
“They can’t forgive her for the suffering that little girl went through.” Star died in September 2020 after months of “neglect, cruelty and injury” at the hands of Smith and partner Savannah Brockhill.
Bradford crown court heard the toddler had suffered “catastrophic” injuries at Keighley home.
Brockhill, 28, was jailed for life in December for murdering Star, with a 25-year minimum.Smith, 20, got eight years for allowing her daughter’s death.
Sources said the cost of moving Smith to HMP Bronzefield – the UK’s biggest female jail – would be justified to ensure her safety.
They added: “Bronzefield has other high-profile inmates, mostly from the south, so she’s less likely to be a target.”
Bronzefield, near Ashford, Surrey, also houses Shauna Hoare – jailed over the death of Becky Watts, 16, in 2015.
Others there include Safiyya Amira Shaikh, Britain’s first female Islamic State bomb plotter and al-Qaeda fanatic Roshonara Choudhry, who tried to murder MP Stephen Timms in 2010.
