Freeman was sentenced to life in prison over the murder of his four-year-old daughter Darcey, who was thrown off Melbourne's West Gate Bridge before her first day on school in January 2009.
He has been held in maximum security prison since April 2011, when he was sentenced to a non-parole period of 32 years.
Freeman was involved in a prison fight in 2011, with media reporting he lashed out at inmates after being subjected to constant abuse.
