Convicted Aristocrat Constance Marten Faces 24-Hour Surveillance at HMP Bronzefield

Her repeated grievances over prison food coincide with her upcoming formal sentencing in September.

Overview

  • Marten is held under 24-hour observation at HMP Bronzefield with guards checking her every five minutes amid concerns for her safety.
  • She has repeatedly complained about the quality of prison food and allegedly sneered at fellow inmates, projecting an air of entitlement.
  • A prison source says she expects to serve only a couple of years because she still believes her off-grid lifestyle with baby Victoria made sense.
  • Marten and partner Mark Gordon were convicted in July at the Old Bailey of gross negligence manslaughter after hiding their newborn daughter’s body in a Lidl bag.
  • Staff warn her perceived privilege and behaviour could make her a target among Bronzefield’s population of high-profile female offenders.
