Narrator: Broadmoor, a word that makes people shiver.

0:00:14.873,0:00:17.673
Most think that Broadmoor is a prison,

0:00:17.673,0:00:20.593
in fact it's a high secure psychiatric hospital,

0:00:20.593,0:00:22.432
and home to some of the countries most

0:00:22.432,0:00:24.762
dangerous and violent offenders.

After five years of negotiation, and for the

0:00:32.030,0:00:34.462
very first time, the hospital has allowed

0:00:34.462,0:00:37.470
cameras in to meet the men who live behind

0:00:37.470,0:00:38.652

0:00:58.684,0:01:01.410
about people being all these monsters here basically.

0:01:01.410,0:01:03.110
But you can be violent, and it don't mean you're

0:01:03.110,0:01:04.261
a bad person.

0:01:04.261,0:01:04.991
'Cause sometimes

0:01:04.991,0:01:06.751

0:01:18.134,0:01:20.136
see somebody that has committed something

0:01:20.136,0:01:22.630
atrocious, label them as evil, want to

0:02:21.810,0:02:24.510

Ronny Kray, Peter Sutcliffe, Robert

0:02:26.670,0:02:28.940

0:02:28.940,0:02:31.130
most dangerous killers the country has

ever known.

up'. Broadmoor is an institution of lots of

0:02:43.709,0:02:46.629
people. We're not all rapist pedophiles,

0:02:46.629,0:02:50.629
or murderers. There is people in here for

0:02:50.629,0:02:54.629

0:02:54.629,0:02:58.629
here for buggary and they've gotten in a prison,

0:03:00.529,0:03:01.809
evil things.

lunatic asylum for the criminally insane,

0:03:13.830,0:03:15.960
today Broadmoor is an NHS hospital.

0:03:17.881,0:03:21.171
Over its 150 year history, its been a secretive

0:03:21.171,0:03:24.881
and mysterious institution.

0:03:25.007,0:03:27.277
Staff are under strict instructions not to

0:03:27.277,0:03:30.207
discuss patients outside the hospital walls.

0:03:35.569,0:03:37.769
Many won't even admit to working here.

0:03:37.769,0:03:39.149
Staff Member: " Close, close family

0:03:39.149,0:03:41.209
members know that, obviously, where we

0:03:41.209,0:03:43.781
work. But if we're in a normal mainstream

0:03:43.781,0:03:45.707
than you would, you would probably say you

0:03:45.707,0:03:47.983
work in the hospital or something. Don't

0:03:47.983,0:03:49.663
really talk about the place."

0:03:49.663,0:03:50.743
Staff Member #2: " Listen, if you said

0:03:50.743,0:03:52.253
that you worked here. Ah, boy. You'd just

0:03:52.253,0:03:53.573
spend the whole of a day, or the

0:03:53.573,0:03:56.106
afternoon, with a barrage of questions about the place.

0:03:56.106,0:03:58.366
So, it's just easy to say you work for the

0:03:58.366,0:03:59.206
NHS".

0:04:00.753,0:04:02.443
Narrator: They're told not to share

0:04:14.847,0:04:16.820
like Peter Sutcliffe and Kenneth Erskine,

0:04:16.820,0:04:20.820
have chosen not to participate.

0:04:21.560,0:04:23.380
But many of the men here have been front

come to that, sometimes I come very close

0:05:38.774,0:05:41.024
to attacking people because I'm thinking

that they're going to do something to me

0:06:46.710,0:06:48.670

people in the room, with the knife.

0:06:50.430,0:06:52.310
And, like, they were goading me into it,

0:06:52.310,0:06:53.155
and I thought ' I can't do that.

0:06:53.155,0:06:53.810
I can't do that.

0:06:53.810,0:06:55.820

0:06:55.820,0:06:57.820

after telling me that they are here

0:08:13.744,0:08:15.232
not because of the illness, they

0:08:15.232,0:08:16.552
are here because of violence.

0:08:16.552,0:08:18.782
And they only progress from here

0:08:18.782,0:08:21.022
if there's a reduction in that violence.

0:08:21.022,0:08:22.862
So that message, you know.

It might take time, but gradually

Patients who have responded to treatment

0:09:39.923,0:09:41.798
can progress to one of the hospitals

0:09:41.798,0:09:43.348
Assertive Rehab Wards, where

0:09:43.348,0:09:44.998
they're given greater freedom.

Daniel is one of 12 patients on this

0:09:49.274,0:09:49.744
ward.

0:09:50.930,0:09:52.886
Daniel: "I've been here five years.

0:09:52.886,0:09:54.556
Luckily I never went to a high dependency

0:09:54.556,0:09:56.236
ward, I came straight to rehab.

0:09:56.813,0:10:00.813
And, to be honest, its been...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I wouldn't use the word wonderful...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Cause' eh... it's not wonderful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But, I've been grateful basically

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to come here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In my spare time I try and engage

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in artwork mostly.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This was the, uh... my first real attempt

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at an actual portrait. All done completely

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in graphite, and then I moved on to using

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
charcoal along with, uh.. graphite.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And the charcoal allows you to, to have

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so much more...uhhh...depth in the tone or

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
quality.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And then, yeah....I did a self-portrait.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The whole, The whole picture was a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
statement about when I got locked up,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when I was 14 and I'm now 24.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is me at 24, but uh, that me.....

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
back then...sort of thing...."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Narrator: Mental Disorder is no respecter

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of class or education.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Daniel was a 14 year old boy at a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
mainstream school, and no one anticipated

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the violence of his attack....on his own

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
family.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
All of the men in Broadmoor present a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
grave and immediate risk to the public.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And many have committed violent crimes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
From arson, to torture, rape and murder.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Unlike a prison sentence, they have no

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
release date.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Daniel: "I've been a bit of a conundrum

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for the psychologists.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I've have, I've had about nine different

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
diagnoses from thirty different doctors.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've had seminars about me done,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've had people wanting to write books about me,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just because of the unusuallity of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my offense, and my age, and what happened...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I mean, my family are my saving grace

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to be honest here. They, they,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they're hugely...hugely supportive.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And what's even more amazing is that my offense

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was actually oriented against my family.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So I think...so the fact....and, and, what a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
lot of people see is that, when a family

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
member has committed an offense against

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a family member they're often...dis-disowned.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So it think it's...it's too much for the family.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But, they-they, have told me that they swore

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they'd stay by me when they, when I was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
christened, and they have. So I think,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
ya know...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They've always agreed I've has Aspergers.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
One of the problems I have is I'm

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not very good at understanding emotions.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Or...if I have a...if I'm feeling something

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I don't always understand what it is that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm feeling.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But if I can draw it, I can get out these

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
angry feelings, or these frustrations of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
being locked up, or guilt, or remorse.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
All these, all these negative feelings I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
can channel through this imaginative artworks".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[background talking, lunch bags rustle]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Daniel: I've probably never actually said

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the words of what I actually done.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've never admitted it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Because I still, I still get flashbacks.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's mainly guilt.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I still-I still struggle to bring it to mind

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's still just a blur in my head.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've done such a terrible thing. Thats one

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the things that I've got to come to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
terms with eventually is that I've

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
done this, it's happened, and it WILL be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with me forever".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Narrator: We're not allowed to reveal the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
details of Daniel's offense.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Man in Suit: "okay"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Daniel: "Umm, the other thing I was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
wondering about was, I saw

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
problems of fine motor control and spacial awareness,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and like bumping into things, and dropping

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
things a lot".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Man in Suit: "Oh so you're saying one of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the most common side effect. In fact, the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
opposite....[trails off]"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Narrator: Daniel is taking medication and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
undergoing psychological therapy.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
These, together with everyday interaction

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with staff are the cornerstone of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the treatment here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Man in Suit: "Have you noticed any benefit?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Daniel: " I don't really know what it is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm looking for."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Man in Suit: " I have noticed a difference

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in you, not within the last week, but

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
certainly over the last three months. I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
think that you are much more able to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
spend a good time with people in one on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
one situations."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Narrator: Broadmoor can feel like a ghost

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
town. Patients can only move at certain

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
times and in certain configurations.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Their cameras record where each patient is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
at any given moment.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[Radio Chatter]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The control room ensures that incompatible

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
patients, do not collide.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[Radio Chatter]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Patients who are well enough leave their

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
wards to go to work, study, and even once

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a week go shopping. It's strangely like a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
village.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[loud indistinct talking]

[indistinct response]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Shopkeeper: "Good."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Narrator: The freedom to shop is a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
mixed blessing. One of the side effects

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of medication is increased appetite and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and many patients are severely overweight.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[indistinct talking]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
However normal it feels, the reminder of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the threat of violence is ever-present.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Searches looking for potential weapons

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
are carried out before any patient movement.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Hospital Staff: This is stuff that we've

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
retrieved from patients. I think this is

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
just, what used to be a C.D. and its been

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
broken up into shards. It can be used as a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
blade, it can be used for self harming.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In fact, we don't use the C.D.s here anymore.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We've got spoons and forks that have been

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sharpened off on the edge. So a normal

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
teaspoon-plastic spoon-which is innocent

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to you and I, has been fashioned off and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
can be used as a potential weapon to stab.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's an example of how vigilant we have to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be with everyday items".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Alex: "I've done a lot of self harming, as

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you can see. I've cut my own throat a couple

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of times. I've cut my throat like four

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
times I think. Umm funny enough, I think

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was like five weeks before I come here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I hung myself and they had to do CPR

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on me in the cell.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was sexually abused when I was a child

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and that had an affect on my behavior.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And maybe we'll see that.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I couldn't sleep at night, and the rest

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of it...I was, you know...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Basically everything that you go through

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when you've had a traumatic situation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like I did. I think as well as being here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I said to my mum 'this feels like the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
best I've ever been in ten years."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Man in Glasses: Patients that come here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they will have perpetrated, often,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
horrendous crimes. But, they are also

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
victims. It is very easy to see somebody

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
as either the perpetrator or the victim.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It is much more difficult to understand

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that somebody might be both.

you for giving up your time. I know you

you have different [trails off]"

With no alcohol or tobacco allowed, food

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

in Africa. I would say that being multicultural

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It helps. It's good. It's nice to be different.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Because different is what we need. We

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
don't want everyone the same. And that's it."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they said they had a spare bed so I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
mum took me to this office. I sat there

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in a chair, and the next minute she just

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
left. She went 'your not coming with me'.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A social worker come out and she went

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
'you ought to come with me'. I went to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
children's homes, foster homes...I kept

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

was in the children home. By the staff.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
