, 29, also an influencer, is on an induction wing at privately-run , Surrey – where inmates are offered opera workshops, beauty courses and chess clubs.
The X-Factor 2013 finalist has been remanded in custody and is due to appear in court again.
She is then likely to move to the same unit as – jailed for the manslaughter of her baby daughter – and if she stays in jail.
And a source said: “She is very lucky to have been put in Bronzefield as it is pretty cushy compared to other prisons and inmates there are better protected.
“There are loads of activities laid on for them and women’s prisons are better-resourced than male prisons.
“Carrington is on induction but is set to go into Unit 4, where Letby, Constance and others are held after her next appearance.
“That is for her own protection and is a unit with more vulnerable women in there.
“It is often used as a place of safety for high-profile inmates.

“Carrington would be a target on other units or at other prisons but will be with women who are far less likely to attack her.
“There will be a lot of jealousy towards her because of her fame, wealth, looks and social media profile.
“She has been a model prisoner since arriving, and has caused no problems for the staff.
“She has kept her head down and engaged with staff – and definitely hasn’t acted like a diva.”
Carrington is a “standard” inmate at the 530-inmate jail and has privileges including TV and DVD player and access to gyms, workshops and phone calls.

Carrington was remanded in custody last month after appearing in court charged with attempted murder, GBH with intent, ABH and drink-driving.
The charge will be upgraded to murder after Klaudia, known online as Klaudia Glam, outside the Inca nightclub at 4.30am on Sunday April 19.
A 58-year-old man was also seriously hurt in the incident.
A spokesperson for Sodexo, which runs Bronzefield, said: “We cannot comment on individuals.”
