TRIPLE killer Gregory John Brazel has received a secret $3000 payout and up to $80,000 in legal costs paid by taxpayers.

He has also been given a series of perks in Port Phillip prison.

Brazel, who murdered three women, received the cash windfall after suing the Government for being bashed at his previous jail, Barwon.

The payout - kept secret until now - was nominally for medical expenses, but was paid into his prison account.

Sources say Brazel is spending it on horse racing bets and other perks.

As part of the settlement, Brazel gains extra phone time and the right to wear a red beanie covering scars, sources said.
