Following the conviction of his killer, Daniel Morecombe’s mother wished for one more thing for Brett Peter Cowan (at right, above, during his arrest). According to Australia’s News.com.au, she hoped that he “lived a life of loneliness, unloved for his entire life.” Her desire was granted, as once Cowan was placed in Wolston Correctional Centre in Queensland, to serve his sentence, he was, in fact, very isolated.

The particular prison where Cowan is serving out his sentence is a “protection prison,” as they house high-profile criminals, sex offenders, and pedophiles (per News.com.au). Cowan is protected and kept separate from other prisoners due to the risks if he were placed in the general population, because of the crimes he has been convicted of. He has to be completely kept from the other prisoners. According to the Daily Mail, Cowan “was a target from the moment he walked in.” As such, he is confined to his cell the majority of the time, and no one visits him, with the exception of his parents, who visited once following his conviction.
