She has more than 20 licence conditions. 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." The board heard she was considered to be at "low risk of committing a further offence" and that probation officers and prison officials supported the plan.

The mother of Peter Connelly, also known as 'Baby P', has been released from prison 13 years after being jailed over his death.

"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." Mr Raab condemned the decision at the time and said it was proof the Parole Board needed a "fundamental overhaul". The government challenged the announcement, but in May the Parole Board rejected it on the grounds the decision "was not irrational".

Dominic Raab condemns decision to free mother of child who died in 2007 after months of abuse.

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”. Raab said: “Tracey Connelly’s cruelty was pure evil, which is why I strongly opposed her release. The decision to let her out demonstrates why the Parole Board needs a fundamental overhaul, including a ministerial block, to protect the public and keep dangerous offenders off our streets.”
