In a bitter rant to The View Magazine, a publication promoting reform for women in custody, Marten moaned about being 'treated like a killer' in jail.
This is despite being found guilty over the death of her baby daughter.
Marten and rapist boyfriend Gordon were convicted after their newborn Victoria was found dead in a Lidl shopping bag.
Speaking from behind bars, Marten was very critical of her prosecutors and bizarrely told the prison magazine that they reminded her of the soul-sucking creatures in Harry Potter.
She said: "It was his voice. I just couldn't bear it anymore.
"Tom Little and Joel Smith remind me of Dementors from Harry Potter.
"There's no empathy. I felt like I was being grilled as a serial killer."
The 37-year-old aristocrat is locked up in HMP Bronzefield alongside notorious child murderers Lucy Letby and Beinash Batool following a four-month retrial at the Old Bailey.
She complained about being spoken to like a child and accused legal teams of trying to 'make angels look like devils and devils appear angelic'.
Marten added: "They all use this disgusting tone, like they're reprimanding a small child.

"I've heard them laugh and joke with others, but with me, it's always condescending.
"I just shut down because no one wants to be spoken to like that. People say, 'Oh, they're just doing their job', but they're not.
"They're paid to make angels look like devils and devils appear angelic."
The mum barely mentioned her daughter, who prosecutors believe died from hypothermia or suffocation in a flimsy tent after the couple went on the run.
Marten and Gordon sparked a nationwide manhunt in early 2023 after fleeing with their newborn, desperate to avoid the baby being taken into care like their previous four children.
When asked about using pseudonyms while off-grid, she gave the excuse: "The police give people aliases all the time under witness protection.
"That doesn't make me a liar. I was trying to protect myself and Victoria."
Marten gave birth to Victoria without seeking any medical assistance in early 2022 and kept her "their little secret".
The infant had hardly any clothes or "means of keeping or remaining warm".
Victoria, who spent 'much of her life' in a Lidl bag for life, was tragically discovered dumped among rubbish in a shed near Brighton.
A jury found the pair guilty of gross negligence manslaughter after hearing harrowing details of how they ignored warnings and lived 'off-grid'.
In a police interview, Marten later said: "I had her in my jacket and I hadn't slept properly in quite a few days and erm, I fell asleep holding her sitting up and she, when I woke up, she wasn't alive."
Jurors were told Marten had been warned by social workers about the risk of falling asleep with a baby lying on her and that a tent was unsuitable.
Both she and Gordon lost their appeal against the child cruelty convictions and are due to be sentenced in September.
This comes as...
Marten was a former Tatler 'It Girl" and her family had close links to the Royals.
But her life spiralled out of control after she and Gordon, 51, met by chance in a North London incense shop in 2014.
The couple went off the radar from her friends and family and formed their own self-styled cult living apart from society, with Constance even posing as an Irish traveller when she attended hospital while pregnant.
Constance also travelled the world and went to festivals including Burning Man and Wireless, saying: 'Dance is my oxygen.'
She spent her summer holidays in 2010 working for a film production company in Cairo.
One of her colleagues there described her as being 'very decent, nice and friendly' and having 'great potential'.
But she added that Constance sometimes chose the 'wrong' type of man, adding: 'She was somehow gullible.'
During the trial, it was revealed that Gordon was convicted of a series of sexual offences - including rape - while living in the US.
Gordon, who was 14 at the time, broke into the house of a next door neighbour wearing a nylon stocking over his face and armed with a knife and hedge clippers.
He demanded the woman undress and attempted to rape her before carrying out the vile offences in the April 1989 horror.
The victim of his crime told the BBC she was "floored" when she found out the man who attacked her 36 years ago was on the run from police in the UK in 2023.
She said: "The four-and-a-half hours I spent with him was enough to know he is evil."
On May 21 the same year, Gordon broke into another home with a shovel and battered a man inside.
The fiend was sentenced in the US to 40 years in prison, of which he served 22 years.
In 2017, Gordon was convicted of assaulting two female police officers at a maternity unit in Wales.
Jurors were not told that Gordon was also suspected of a incident of domestic violence in 2019 which left Marten with a shattered spleen.
