Constance Marten Moved to Softer HMP Send 13 Months into 14-Year Sentence Constance Marten, jailed for gross negligence manslaughter after baby Victoria was found dead in a shed, has been moved to Send Prison in Surrey just 13 months into her 14-year sentence. Constance Marten, 39, has been moved to HMP Send in Surrey just 13 months into her 14-year sentence for gross negligence manslaughter in the death of her baby daughter Victoria. The transfer from high-security HMP Bronzefield was reported by The Sun. A source said Marten is over the moon about the move. The source described Send as a much nicer environment than Bronzefield, which is rough and like a cattle market in comparison, adding that it is more like a private clinic.The move came after prison bosses categorised Marten as a victim of domestic violence with a hidden disability, which usually means autism or ADHD. These factors, along with her pending appeal, contributed to the decision. Marten was granted permission to appeal her sentence in August.At Send, inmates can take courses in gym instruction, beauty therapy, and gardening. They can also use the prison's Psychologically Informed Physical Environment (PIPE) unit. A source said inmates could grow their own produce to help them with peace of mind. The latest HM Inspectorate report praised the jail's positive learning culture and rehabilitative ethos. Former inmates include Jane Andrews and Mairead Philpott.Some staff believe Marten needs therapy and attention because of her troubled past, while others think she is playing the system. She is understood to be blocked from contacting her ex-partner Mark Gordon, 52, who is serving his sentence at HMP Belmarsh in London.Marten and Gordon were sentenced in 2024 for the death of Victoria, whose body was found in a soiled nappy in a Lidl bag in a disused shed in Brighton, East Sussex, after a £1.2 million national manhunt. They went on the run with baby Victoria in a bid to prevent the child from being placed in care. Their four other children had already been placed in care. They camped in cold conditions, sparking a massive police search. Victoria's body was discovered in March 2023. Both were sentenced to 14 years for gross negligence manslaughter. Gordon received an extended sentence of four years due to his dangerousness.Gordon has a history of violent sexual offenses. He was jailed for 40 years in the United States for a knife-point rape in 1989 when he was 14, and for a subsequent attack on a couple. He served half of that sentence before being deported to the UK. A counsellor who treated his first victim described him as a sociopath comparable to Ted Bundy.Marten grew up in a stately home with maids and cooks; her father was a page to Queen Elizabeth II, and her grandmother was a playmate of Princess Margaret. Gordon's background is starkly different, marked by severe criminal behavior from a young age.The case has drawn significant public attention due to the couple's flight and the tragic death of baby Victoria. The move to Send has sparked debate about the treatment of high-profile offenders. While some see it as appropriate given Marten's status as a domestic violence victim with a hidden disability, others view it as too lenient. The Ministry of Justice has not commented on the transfer.
