A convoy of vehicles carrying 'dummy' obese women could be used to help smuggle Baby P's mother out of prison, it emerged today.
Tracey Connelly, who has ballooned to 22st in a Durham jail, was this week granted parole despite allowing her boyfriend and his paedophile brother to torture to death her son Peter.
After five years behind bars, prison and probation bosses are likely to use subterfuge to stop the 32-year-old being photographed, traced and attacked by vigilantes when she leaves 'within days'.
Connelly has gained at least a stone for every year she has been in jail, having previously admitted
'I put on a lot of weight when I came to prison' by gorging on pizza and jam tarts in solitary confinement.

Sources have said a plan is in place to hide Connelly inside a car within the prison walls before being swept to a secret location to start a new life.
Meanwhile extra vehicles containing women of a similar weight with their faces covered could also be used to throw anyone keen to follow her off the scent.
The same ploy was used when the girlfriend of Soham murderer Maxine Carr left prison.
'It will be difficult to get her out without being seen, but there are ways and means,' a Probation Service source told the Daily Mirror.
'She may not be freed straight away, but when she is, they will use tactics to ensure she is not photographed, just as they did with Maxine Carr.'
Set to leave: Connelly - who is at Low Newton jail (pictured) in Brasside, County Durham - applied to the Parole Board to have her case reviewed and they have agreed to release her after five years
Connelly will also be given detailed advice on how to hide who she is when she leaves jail in the coming days to avoid being found.

She will leave Low Newton jail near Durham for a parole hostel to start her reintegration back into society.
She is already said to look markedly different from her notorious mugshot, having put on weight while in prison.
But probation officers will also advise her to change her name by deed poll, change the colour of her hair and have it cut differently.
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: 'The release of life and other indeterminate sentence prisoners is directed by the independent Parole Board once they are satisfied they can be safely managed in the community.
'The IPP licence lasts for a minimum of 10 years, and an offender on an IPP licence may be recalled to prison at any time for breaching their licence conditions. Additionally, they will be subject to strict controls and restrictions for as long as their risk requires them.'
After just five years in jail experts believe she poses ‘no danger to the public’, despite committing a crime that horrified Britain.
Connelly was jailed indefinitely in 2009 after she admitted doing nothing while her little boy was tortured to death by her boyfriend Steven Barker and his paedophile brother Jason Owen.
Peter was just 17 months old when he was found dead in his blood-spattered cot at his mother’s flat in Tottenham, north London, after suffering 50 separate injuries, including a broken back.
The case provoked a national scandal after it emerged that social workers, police and doctors missed a series of warning signs that could have saved the child’s life.

Sickened by the depravity, 132,000 people joined ‘hate groups’ on social networking internet sites calling for Connelly, Barker and Owen to ‘burn in hell’.
Some threatened to violently attack them when they are eventually released.
Despite widespread horror at her imminent release, ministers have decided she should not be granted lifetime anonymity and round-the-clock police protection.
Anonymity orders are rare and only four are currently in force.
These apply to child killer Mary Bell, James Bulger’s murderers Robert Thompson and Jon Venables and to Maxine Carr, who provided a false alibi for Soham murderer Ian Huntley.
