Keeping Peterborough serial killer Joanne Dennehy segregated from other prisoners amounts to "inhuman" punishment, according to her lawyers.
Image source, BBC/Cambridgeshire PoliceAs reported in The Sun, external, her QC Hugh Southey is challenging Justice Secretary Michael Gove over HMP Bronzefield's decision to keep Dennehy segregated because of concerns over her escaping.
Mr Southey told the High Court Dennehy's mental health issues meant segregation was discriminatory and her prolonged separation from other prisoners was "unjustified, unreasonable, unnecessary and disproportionate".
But Tom Weisselberg QC, for the Ministry of Justice, said segregation was a long way from "solitary confinement". A judgement will be heard at a later date.
