The lifer’s face was slashed in an attack by two inmates in a women’s jail as around 10 lags looked on, Daily Mirror reports.

Smith, 23 –caged for the vicious killing of 21-month-old Ayeeshia – is said to have howled in pain as she was punched and stabbed during a four-minute beating in a stairwell not covered by CCTV .

A source said the attack with a home-made knife left Smith with a two-centimetre cut across her cheek.
"No one had any sympathy for Smith. Some staff were saying, ‘What goes around comes around’.”

The attack will raise concerns over security at the Derbyshire jail which houses 300 prisoners.

Drug addict Smith was given a minimum 24 years last month for Ayeeshia’s murder in Burton upon Trent, Staffs.
Her partner, Matthew Rigby, 22, got three and a half years for causing or allowing the tot’s death.
