A hellish first night: Child killer Jamie Varley left sobbing and quaking inside ‘Monster Mansion’ prison
The brutal reality of a whole life prison sentence has officially hit home for Jamie Varley, one of Britain’s most despised men. Following his high-profile sentencing at Preston Crown Court last week, the depraved former teacher spent his very first night behind bars “sobbing and quaking” in his cell. Varley was transported immediately to HMP Wakefield—a notorious Category A prison in West Yorkshire widely dubbed the “Monster Mansion”—where furious inmates ensured his new life began with absolute terror.
Varley was handed a whole life order, meaning he will never be released, after being found guilty of the sickening murder of 13-month-old Preston Davey, a baby boy he was in the process of adopting. His partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, was also convicted of allowing the little boy’s death. While Varley may have escaped the death penalty under British law, prison insiders reveal that the violent hierarchy inside Wakefield has already marked him for an inevitable, brutal fate.
Upon his arrival, fuming inmates gave the baby murderer a terrifying “traditional prisoners’ welcome.” Prisoners anticipating the arrival of new transfers began loudly banging on their cell bars, screaming warnings through the corridors that Varley is living on borrowed time for the vile abuse he inflicted on little Preston. Shaken to his core by the deafening threats, the killer reportedly spent the entire night whispering to himself and weeping uncontrollably.
According to prison sources, a massive bounty has already been placed on Varley’s head. “Everyone wants to be the one to hurt him first,” an insider revealed, adding that the other convicts want to make his endless time inside as agonizing as possible. The threat of vigilante justice is so extreme that Varley has been placed in immediate segregation, locked away on a 24-hour suicide watch with mental health experts and guards monitoring his cell around the clock to keep him alive. Even if he is eventually allowed to move around, he will require a heavy flank of guards just to survive a walk down the hallway.
The terror gripping Varley is heavily magnified by the bloody history of HMP Wakefield, which houses between 630 and 750 of the country’s most evil offenders, including serial killers like Ian Huntley and Levi Bellfield. Just last week, Leeds Crown Court handed down whole life terms to three convicted murderers—including notorious gangland assassin Mark “The Iceman” Fellows—for the savage slaying of another high-profile child killer inside the exact same prison.
In that horrific incident, 33-year-old Kyle Bevan, who was serving life for murdering his two-year-old stepdaughter, was ambushed inside his own cell. The trio of hardened criminals stabbed Bevan 25 times with improvised weapons before tucking his bloody corpse back into bed under a blanket to make it look like he was sleeping. Bevan’s body wasn’t discovered until the next morning.
With Bevan’s bloody murder fresh in everyone’s minds, Varley is well aware that an attack on his life is not a matter of if, but when. As one insider ominously noted, every single day Varley manages to survive behind bars, the bounty on his head will only increase, leaving prison guards with a nightmarish task to keep Britain’s most hated adopter breathing.
