The mother of Baby P could be released from prison within weeks after the Parole Board rejected a government challenge against its ruling.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Tracey Connolly was jailed in 2009 after admitting causing or allowing the death of 17-month-old son Peter at home in Tottenham, north London, in 2007.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Known publicly as Baby P, he had suffered more than 50 injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Justice Secretary Dominic Raab condemned the decision and said the Parole Board needed an “overhaul”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mr Raab,\u00a0who had asked the Parole Board to reconsider its decision<\/a>\u00a0made in March, described the actions of Connelly, now aged 40, as “pure evil”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“The decision to release her demonstrates why the parole board needs a fundamental overhaul, including a ministerial check for the most serious offenders, so that it serves and protects the public,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Connelly’s review by the Parole Board in March was her fourth since she was jailed for a minimum of five years in 2009.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

She had been let out on licence in 2013 but was recalled to prison in 2015 for breaching her parole conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Parole Board had also considered her case in 2015, 2017 and 2019 but refused to release her or move her to an open prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Following the board’s decision in March that Connelly should be released, Mr Raab had asked it to re-examine its ruling under the so-called reconsideration mechanism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Not irrational’<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

But the board has now said that application has been rejected and the original decision upheld.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A Parole Board spokesman said in a statement: “Following the reconsideration application from the secretary of state, a judge has ruled that the decision made by independent Parole Board members to release was not irrational, as stated in the reconsideration application, and the original decision is upheld.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Connelly will be subject to restrictions on her movements, activities and who she contacts, and faces 20 extra licence conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They include living at a specified address, wearing an electronic tag, adhering to a curfew and having to disclose her relationships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Her use of the internet and a phone will be monitored, and she has been told she cannot go to certain places to “avoid contact with victims and to protect children”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
