prison

. In fact, it is a high-security

psychiatric

hospital

and home to some of the

most

dangerous

and violent criminals in the country after five years of negotiations and, for the first time, the

hospital

has allowed cameras. I came in to meet the men who live behind these walls and they brought wars so it's letting the history of our people be all these monsters here basically what can be violent but I thought we had a bad person because sometimes we don't You know it in ten minutes.

The easiest reaction in the world is to see someone who has committed something heinous and label him evil once he closes the door and throws away the key. I probably never said the words of what I

real

ly did. I never admitted it. It's still just a stain on my head I got bored I enjoy the Italian family very, very violent in some cases It was impressive the guilt that allowed me to have this adorable life that I had with unprecedented access and filmed for a year This series reveals the secrets of inner life Britain's

most

notorious institution brought Lori's past to the Berkshire town of Croton, just 40 miles from central London.

When people think of Broadmoor, they think of Ronnie Kray, Peter Sutcliffe, Robert Nappa and Kenneth Erskine, some of the most

dangerous

killers the country has ever known. the public perceives the displacements, oh, that's where the auction is referring to, not the local murderers of Rachel Karz. Broadmoor is an institution of many people, but not all rapists, pedophiles or murderers, through its people, are here for themselves. Harmon in

prison

, there are people here for robbery, they have sick tentacles. imprison your people here for very, very bad things and pushes, brought a holy brush that they shouldn't do first built as a Victorian asylum for the criminally insane today Broadmoor is an NHS hospital during its 150 year history it has been a mysterious secret place star of the institution under strict instructions not to talk about patients outside the walls of the hospital many do not even admit that they work here close members obviously know where we work, but if we are in a normal range, you would probably say we work in the hospital or something So, we don't

real

ly talk about the place as soon if you tell the family member or child that you spend the whole day or afternoon with a barrage of questions about the place, so it's easier to say that you work.

For the NHS they are told not to share personal information with the patient either and to leave their private life along with their possessions at the front door. Broadway's most notorious patients, such as Peter Sutcliffe and Kenneth Erskine, decided not to participate, but many of the men here have made front-page news and are vilified by society. This is the first time they've been allowed to tell their

stories

of restaurant food, hostages, more hostages, stabbings, you know, multiple assaults, violent assaults, fires, stay away for a second, first, a firefighter. a hospital,

psychiatric

hospital, the first one I went to, yeah, it's mainly violence and everything, my history is mainly violence.

Large was 200 patients. Oh, men suffering from mental disorders are classified as vulnerable adults and only those who have the capacity to consent have been allowed to speak to us. Their faces have been blurred to protect their identities. Very violent in most circumstances. Very antisocial. I don't have to be new to the time of people power. Very powerful with everything. Each person is around him thinking about what his intention is when he leaves. Sometimes to turn them into attacking people because I'm thinking they're going to do something to me and I don't want to catch them at first.

I remember one time without my medication, I spent 11 months locked in a segregation cell. The fact that I was too dangerous to go out. Alex, 24, arrived at Broadmoor seven months ago. He was serving a life sentence in a prison unit dedicated to highly dangerous prisoners. They couldn't handle it anymore. Now in a mission room, he was diagnosed. with a mental illness and a personality disorder and is taking medication one of his symptoms is auditory hallucinations hearing voices the other day I was excited for an evaluation that's me doubts personal motor skills evaluation is done for learning disabilities and I'm cutting a handle and I have never used a sharp knife from the age of seven onwards in a way of not using a sharp knife and I was literally molded almost into cotton.

Few thinkers fall because the voices told me to attack the people in the room with the knife and charging me in an offer, I can't do that, yes, I managed to finish the fruits, a fruit salad and I felt incredible, what an achievement because my story is much more a year ago, two years ago, my wish would have come true. This is Clam Filler, the world of intensive care, the home of the hospital's most acutely mentally ill patients, any contact with them must be carefully planned and executed. This is a six person unlock. the door to this patient's room can only be opened with six staff members present. there is always the risk of violence towards others if they said you know they have a chronic mental illness and they would be very disturbed all day long, but you have to learn to work with them.

The focus will be to work with these guys, actually tell them that. They are here not because of humans, they are here because of violence and the only progress from here if there is a reduction of that violence, then that message, you know, it may take time, but gradually over a period of time, is that moving forward in In this room, even the most routine tasks run the risk of violence and involve protocol. This patient is asked for a drink. Life in Broadmoor can be a game of snakes and ladders with patients moving between hospitals. 15 rooms depending on your mental state.

Patients who responded to treatment. They can progress to one of the hospital's assertive rehabilitation wards where they are given greater freedom. Daniel is one of 12 patients in this ward. I've been here five years fortunately I never went to high dependency when I went straight to rehab and To be honest, I wouldn't use the word wonderful because it's not wonderful, but basically I'm grateful to come here in my free time. I try to get into artwork mainly, this was my first real attempt at a real portrait, all done. completely in graphite and then I moved on to using charcoal along with graphite and charcoal allows you to have a lot more depth in the tonal quality and then yeah, I did a self portrait hoping that the whole image was a statement about when I got stuck. when I was 14 and now I'm 24, this is me at 24, but that's me back then, something like a mental disorder that doesn't respect class or education.

Daniel was a fourteen year old boy who went to mainstream school and no one anticipated the violence of his attack on his own family. All of the men in Broadmoor present a serious and immediate risk to the public and many have committed violent crimes from arson to torture. , rape and murder, unlike a prison sentence, have no release date. I've been a It's a bit of an enigma to psychologists and about nine different diagnoses from 30 different doctors. I have had seminars about me from other people who wanted to write books about me just because of the unusualness of my crime and my age.

What happened? my family about my saving grace to be honest you know they support me enormously and what is even more surprising is that my offense was actually directed against my family so the fact and what many people see is that when a member of the family has committed a crime against a family member, often they just disown something like that, you know, it's too much for the family, but they told me that they saw without staying with me when they went there when I was baptized and they have something like that, you know, always They have agreed.

They made us buy. One of the problems I have is that I'm not very good at understanding emotions or if I have a feeling. I don't always understand what I'm feeling, but if I can express it I can get out these feelings of anger or these frustrations of being locked up or the guilt or the remorse and all these negative feelings that I can channel through this. imaginative work of art, so I think I probably never said the words of what I actually did. I've never admitted it because I still have flashbacks, it's mostly guilt, I still have a hard time remembering it, it's still just a blur. in my head and I have done something so terrible that it is one of the things I will eventually have to come to terms with is that I did this, it happened, it will be with me forever, we can't reveal it. the details of Daniel's offense problems with fine motor control and spatial awareness things like that I bump into things and drop them a lot, as you say, it is one of the most common side effects Daniel is taking medication and receiving psychological therapy, this along with daily interaction with the staff is the cornerstone of the treatment here.

Benefit. I have noticed a difference in you, not in the last two weeks, but certainly in the last three months. I think he's much more capable of spending more time with people in one-on-one situations. Broadmoor can seem like a ghost town. Patients can only move at certain times and in certain configurations. Cameras record where each patient is at any given time. The control room ensures that incompatible patients do not collide. Patients who are well enough leave. their rooms to go to work study and even once a week go shopping is strangely like a village the freedom to shop is a mixed blessing one of the side effects of the medications is increased appetite and many patients are overweight severe, however normal, the reminder of the threat of violence is always -Current searches for potential weapons are carried out before any movement of the patient.

This is material that we have recovered from patients. I think this is just what used to be a CD and it has been broken into fragments, it can even be used as a blade. self-harm, in fact, we don't use CDs here anymore, we have students and people who have had the edge sharpened, so a normal plastic spoon teaspoon, which is quite innocent to you and me, has been modeled and can be wear. as a potential stabbing weapon and is just one example of how vigilant we have to be with everyday items. See a couple of times that the cotton fell four times.

I think it was finally enough for his feelings about five weeks before returning home. Me and I had to do CPR in the cell that I sexually abused as a child it had no effect on my behavior my men will stay I couldn't sleep at night and everything else I knew basically everything I knew passes and you have added to my situation as I did. I think it's bad that it is. I said someone feels like the best I've been in ten years. The patients who come here will have perpetrated often horrendous crimes, but they are also victims and it is very easy to see someone as the perpetrator or the victim, it is much more difficult to understand that someone may be both patients from different wards meet at certain events today It's a diversity workshop and poet and lawyer Dave Nita is encouraging them to celebrate their different cultures, but most of them celebrate lunch.

Alcohol and tobacco are not allowed, food is the only thing they have freedom over. I would say that, in total, it helps them decide to have a free bed so far. in the cold zone of being asymmetrical I've been in prison and a place I've been so far their blood war has come now 26 Declan was put into care at the age of nine I remember the day my mother sat in the visitors office a chair and then Misha just left she wouldn't come with me oh then she wouldn't come out she went Are you going to come with me?

I went to foster homes in children's areas. I kept running away because they abused us when I was safe and by the staff sexually and physically and everything is as if no one listened to me. I ran away to London. He lived on the streets. I know. I mean, I was living opinions. Yes, it's not pleasant, but when you are. mesquite, you have to do that, sometimes I mean, it gets like that when you see it on the street, you see when you see people having my victim as a victim, my curry defendant basically stabbed them, the newly sculpted one is torture, a little boy is seven years old. tourism I don't really see it, but I wouldn't respect children instead of this relationship, so yeah, that was the first time I found out that I was like that, for some reason it was what I was going to be. a woman, I think she's fine, I mean, but in this place you can't do that, you're not going to be a drag queen, that's why I've done it for a while, Crystal Blut and just fabulous.

We've come to Chepstow, a medium-sized dependency ward where Lenny wants to show us his artwork for the second time, although Sukhoi does it in closed water because I think my particular crime was against the Kazan psychiatrist. He called the psychiatrist from section sixteen and twelve and they are very powerful, not like when you go. to all the regattas there were in thehead office, is not happy with life at Broadmoor and tells us that he is going to bring a case in the high court against a hospital charge to keep reading four hundred and twenty thousand pounds a year or something, surely it is wrong to charge a fortune for For people Like us, when he would be nowhere near the city community, it cost three hundred thousand pounds a year to keep a patient in Broadmoor, almost five times as much as keeping someone in prison.

Before Lenny came to Broadmoor, he was an outpatient at a psychiatric hospital. where he threatened his psychiatrist with a machete do you feel microfiber with you because I think no, I don't feel like I should be? I think actually sharing this my life just people I want to share my people life I want to get in more when I shave what I do when I do it and be really responsible behind me when I was out there and I don't think I'll be any more dangerous than what's already out there. out there and I'll be honest with God, I'm rooted here.

I could really merge that angle, he would become yours, the patient, yes that is a tool we use to separate you so we can decide if it would be the last thing on earth, it is a real fear to receive what we call equal rights, what do you think? whether or not I am not a person to accompany people downstairs in the admissions room Alex has made progress if the medication has stabilized him he wants to move from admissions to an assertive rehabilitation room where he will have more freedom yes, I don't I know the deadlines because I don't is under my control up in Chepstow Benson the dog Patt has arrived for his weekly visit.

Lennie's behavior in recent days has become a cause for concern. He has been increasingly manic and hyperactive and his doctor believes he needs medication. Lenny refuses to take it, so he will have to be forcibly administered by injection. The staff tells us to leave the room. They tell us we can seal any the next day. You know, wiki. Please, the day before they told us to leave the room with anti-. psychotic medication to explain what happened after we left, he takes us to seclusion one of the biggest conflicts between certain doctors and patients is the issue of medication one of the difficulties with psychotic disorders is that their interpretation of reality It's different than other people's if you, if you really believe that there's nothing wrong with you and you don't need any medication, why would you want to take some of the medications that would be under discussion?

He is particularly angry for two reasons, one of them being that he doesn't believe. he will benefit from the medication at all. The second reason is that he believes that he is involved in a major high court case against the hospital to expose a number of negligences, particularly in relation to it, but in general, but how these services actually keep people in jobs and do not provide no useful service the defense of the hospital is just him, we saw the most notorious people in the country oh, he thinks we gave him the medicine, surely two dollars matters to him and weakens his chances, in that case, in fact, we have succeeded .

He is not currently involved in any legal action or court case, it is my mom and I, but she called you black and with his 60 years here, he is a man who spent a lot of time in institutional care in previous settings, was frequently assaulted and he himself was violent. on several occasions but got mugged often, just check my shoes, shadows are covered so they check again first thing in the morning before the patients come back. Patients who are well enough to go to work can make products that are sold to the public. they get paid 80p an hour alex has done well and is now allowed to leave the admissions room to come to work they all said oh you're moving, you have to move they say i would have moved my first date, our sweets are find out I've been on my soundcloud you send why and why I keep admitting you're after eight months when there's a really real bedroom right now focusing on the snakes we've evolved it's Ian's mom and dad coming for two days have a saying here's time and then there's Broadmoor time which episode can you watch the last of these fenders last night they don't show the man impersonating Nick Cazzo Sorry, although medications can often control behavior it takes extensive therapy to change it and that takes time Estelle Moore is the main psychologist at the hospital, she has been here for 20 years, it ends in December, patients undergo specific therapies depending on their crime, whether it is violence, sexual crimes or setting fire, what kinds of actions are safe and contained in relationships. many things you would do that feel like normal, safe relationships laugh laugh it's okay so laugh talk sensible movie feel comfortable with each other Declan was found guilty of a life-threatening assault on a man who missed the sun Mr Surfer Lenny he's been on antipsychotics the medication for a few weeks it had time to build up in his system now he's on the depot injection, the chemicals to slow down their relationship to the point where yeah, those few milliseconds to think about how am I going to respond to this and they were applying A greater threat than you were.

I would respond to something that could definitely empathize with them. He doesn't have a different background than me, but he comes from different parents. You can probably see if you come back into the lives of most of our patients. You could probably identify them at five and six years old and say I'll see you later. We are all born with certain temperaments, with certain predispositions to certain behaviors and if you have been given a triple whammy of genes, environment, education, childhood, adversity, substance abuse. all of those different aspects build up to form the person and it's a long-term project of gradually putting someone back together and making sure they stay in that state of recovery.

Things have finally changed for Alex after eight months of being moved to Assertive Rehab. It is better to have much more freedom that you arrive at the door with your own meat, hot drinks, that is correct, but it is not all good news, since many times in the past he was in danger of self-harm and they had to put him under observation visual, which means the nurses have to take turns caring for him 24 hours a day mine will stay awake at best their voices are not pleasant and why for you but you control it that's all family they don't even get here for a reason that means the last couple of years so I but okay I have a problem Lisa there was no violence which is good you should be proud at least it shows that you're making you know more progress.

Alexe's mental state continued to deteriorate after a couple of weeks on the ward. He self-harmed and had to be moved back to a high dependency ward at Chepstow Dr. Larkin wants to talk about a recent incident involving Lenny and another doctor tracking down and finding pedophiles in our society, how pleased he was and that not only were they poor people brought back to life, but they were also important people until they found out. I'm glad she felt threatened. He was saying that it also included a couple of doctors who were new to pedophilia. You're not mad at her for something in a no-was-no-was, even though it was about the general idea of ​​pedophilia because you already know about it. you know that I was a victim of pedophilia for nine years under the central office when I was a child and they have done nothing but bury me, in fact, although I am a criminal, I am a criminal and I admit that I am guilty of crime that led me to a wide wall.

I threatened to kill his Kesava section 12 psychiatrist like you would with a machete, but I am not guilty of raping myself. I think the problem was that you felt like no one here was competent. They were tying me up, right? I wrote against my wall alcohol stuck in my throat, pacified with all kinds of medicines that belong to that person, you are not me, so that he is docile and accepts having sexual relations that I do not want to do like 5 6. year old child but nine years old or the others in the same system being serious I universities at the same time they rape me and no one not a single thing to help me you are offering me therapy I know I'm not mad at you I'm I'm not mad at anyone.

Maybe the people who did what they did to me know that they recognize that I was not a victim, so we agree that you will meet with David about therapy options for you as a victim. Yes, thank you very much. a lot, it's a lot at home, well, thanks, okay, oh, if I don't get in trouble with food for 12 weeks, they'll let me work on the cat. Yes, I think you can do it, it will be difficult, but I will try. The most challenging patients are housed. here at Cranfield ward, any movement out of your rooms must be carefully planned.

Violence is always close to the surface. Patients are allowed to be on the patio one by one for limited periods. A patient does not want to return to her room. His primary nurse has already given him MO. gives him an additional 30 minutes an intervention plan to relocate him to his room because this presentation dictates that it equals five yes, you said threateningly and verbally abusive to Damini, yes, Moe sets up a camera to record the planned intervention in case of any violence in the Intensive care ward staff are preparing to move a reluctant patient back to his room from the yard.

The hospital has prohibited us from showing this restraint procedure even with the patient in disguise, on the grounds that she does not have the capacity to give consent for it. His voice has been replaced. by an actor known for kicking staff, the patient is asked to take off his shoes as predicted, whips all eight staff members, throws the patient to the floor for everyone's safety, outside his room, with his back to the floor and a final maneuver to catch it. safely through the door, once in the room, the patient is placed on the bed with his feet furthest from the door and a nurse will hold his legs, another his arms and a third his head, they will release them and they will come out one by one. one, the last to let go. he is holding his head and is closer to the door every time force has to be used, the staff takes time to reassess, please swear with your fist, mini gifts in payroll, he is going to fight, he knows that You can't predict these things, these operations as you administer them, but the most important thing is that everyone is safe and the procedures were followed very well and the patient, that's it, so guys apply for our jobs, on average there are five physical attacks a week on staff, including punching, kicking, throwing hot liquids, urine and faeces, some serious enough to warrant hospital stay.

Filing criminal charges every other day, there are days where it would be very set, all the patients are calm or in a good mood, but not all the time because it's just interstate subsites, so you were right about him now, right? Of course, I'm actually his primary nurse, so I know him, you know, you can see it, you can see it coming, it's about knowing your patients, we know them all, so was he complaining about how many of you were there? ? He was counting how many employees there where he knew we're ready for action, you know, to the extent that they're mentally here, they're not stupid, some of them know exactly what they're doing, it's like a setup and I'm going to catch them. and you look. a team to see oh I think this is a weak team and then patients like these at Cranfield can progress, they will eventually move on to other wards and eventually even leave hospital
