in fact it's a high secure psychiatric hospital,

0:00:20.593,0:00:22.432

Ronny Kray, Peter Sutcliffe, Robert

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

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

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

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

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

I can't do that.

0:08:13.744,0:08:15.232

are here because of violence.

And they only progress from here

if there's a reduction in that violence.

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.

0:09:47.384,0:09:49.274
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.

0:09:56.813,0:09:59.783
And, to be honest, its been...

0:09:59.783,0:10:01.473
I wouldn't use the word wonderful...

0:10:01.473,0:10:03.493
Cause' eh... it's not wonderful.

0:10:03.493,0:10:05.053
But, I've been grateful basically

0:10:05.053,0:10:06.246
to come here.

0:10:07.739,0:10:09.759
In my spare time I try and engage

0:10:09.759,0:10:10.834
in artwork mostly.

0:10:10.834,0:10:12.824
This was the, uh... my first real attempt

0:10:12.824,0:10:15.444
at an actual portrait. All done completely

0:10:15.444,0:10:19.724
in graphite, and then I moved on to using

0:10:19.724,0:10:22.234
charcoal along with, uh.. graphite.

0:10:22.270,0:10:24.600
And the charcoal allows you to, to have

0:10:24.600,0:10:27.330
so much more...uhhh...depth in the tone or

0:10:27.330,0:10:28.302
quality.

0:10:28.498,0:10:31.221
And then, yeah....I did a self-portrait.

0:10:31.221,0:10:33.321
The whole, The whole picture was a

0:10:33.321,0:10:35.051
statement about when I got locked up,

0:10:35.051,0:10:37.241
when I was 14 and I'm now 24.

0:10:37.241,0:10:41.241
This is me at 24, but uh, that's me.....

0:10:41.241,0:10:45.241
back then...sort of thing...."

Narrator: Mental Disorder is no respecter

0:10:48.484,0:10:50.643
of class or education.

0:10:51.180,0:10:53.270
Daniel was a 14 year old boy at a

0:10:53.270,0:10:55.624
mainstream school, and no one anticipated

0:10:55.624,0:10:58.194
the violence of his attack....on his own

0:10:58.194,0:11:00.114
family.

0:11:06.397,0:11:10.397
[Heavy guitar riff]

0:11:11.817,0:11:13.919
All of the men in Broadmoor present a

0:11:13.919,0:11:15.958
grave and immediate risk to the public.

0:11:15.958,0:11:18.538
And many have committed violent crimes.

0:11:18.758,0:11:21.798
From arson, to torture, rape and murder.

0:11:23.246,0:11:25.516
Unlike a prison sentence, they have no

0:11:25.516,0:11:27.101
release date.

0:11:28.927,0:11:30.737
Daniel: "I've been a bit of a conundrum

0:11:30.737,0:11:32.237
for the psychologists.

0:11:32.237,0:11:34.007
And I've have, I've had about nine different

0:11:34.007,0:11:36.987
diagnoses from thirty different doctors.

0:11:36.987,0:11:38.967
I've had seminars about me done,

0:11:38.967,0:11:40.567
I've had people wanting to write books about me,

0:11:40.567,0:11:42.607
just because of the unusuallity of

0:11:42.607,0:11:46.847
my offense, and my age, and what happened...

0:11:46.847,0:11:48.467
I mean, my family are my saving grace

0:11:48.467,0:11:49.541
to be honest here. They, they,

0:11:49.541,0:11:51.591
they're hugely...hugely supportive.

0:11:51.591,0:11:54.381
And what's even more amazing is that my offense

0:11:54.381,0:11:56.471
was actually oriented against my family.

0:11:56.471,0:11:59.491
So I think...so the fact....and, and, what a

0:11:59.491,0:12:02.201
lot of people see is that, when a family

0:12:02.201,0:12:03.551
member has committed an offense against

0:12:03.551,0:12:07.328
a family member they're often...dis-disowned.

0:12:07.328,0:12:09.673
So it think it's...it's too much for the family.

0:12:09.673,0:12:12.743
But, they-they, have told me that they swore

0:12:12.743,0:12:14.703
they'd stay by me when they, when I was

0:12:14.703,0:12:16.143
christened, and they have. So I think,

0:12:16.143,0:12:16.643
ya know...

0:12:16.643,0:12:19.684
They've always-they've always agreed I've had Aspergers.

0:12:19.684,0:12:21.443
One of the problems I have is I'm

0:12:21.443,0:12:23.576
not very good at understanding emotions.

0:12:23.576,0:12:26.686
Or...if I have a...if I'm feeling something

0:12:26.686,0:12:28.986
I don't always understand what it is that

0:12:28.986,0:12:29.618
I'm feeling.

0:12:29.618,0:12:32.808
But if I can draw it, I can get out these

0:12:32.808,0:12:35.258
angry feelings, or these frustrations of

0:12:35.258,0:12:38.008
being locked up, or guilt, or remorse.

0:12:38.008,0:12:40.638
All these, all these negative feelings I

0:12:40.638,0:12:43.528
can channel through this imaginative artworks".

0:12:44.348,0:12:49.388
[background talking, lunch bags rustle]

0:12:49.388,0:12:50.974
Daniel: I've probably never actually said

0:12:50.974,0:12:52.404
the words of what I actually done.

0:12:52.404,0:12:54.034
I've never admitted it.

0:12:56.826,0:12:59.734
Because I still, I still get flashbacks.

0:12:59.734,0:13:01.204
It's mainly guilt.

0:13:01.204,0:13:03.724
I still-I still struggle to bring it to mind

0:13:03.724,0:13:06.214
It's still just a blur in my head.

0:13:06.214,0:13:08.464
I've done such a terrible thing. Thats one

0:13:08.464,0:13:11.004
of the things that I've got to come to

0:13:11.004,0:13:13.234
terms with eventually is that I've

0:13:13.234,0:13:17.234
done this, it's happened, and it WILL be

0:13:17.234,0:13:19.334
with me forever".

0:13:20.473,0:13:22.833
Narrator: We're not allowed to reveal the

0:13:22.833,0:13:24.660
details of Daniel's offense.

0:13:25.243,0:13:26.553
Man in Suit: "okay"

0:13:26.553,0:13:27.243
Daniel: "Umm, the other thing I was

0:13:27.243,0:13:29.093
wondering about was, I sort of get

0:13:29.093,0:13:32.783
problems of fine motor control and spacial awareness,

0:13:32.783,0:13:35.753
and like bumping into things, and dropping

0:13:35.753,0:13:36.886
things a lot".

0:13:37.178,0:13:39.558
Man in Suit: "Oh so you're saying one of

0:13:39.558,0:13:41.638
the most common side effect. In fact, the

0:13:41.638,0:13:42.908
opposite....[trails off]"

0:13:42.908,0:13:44.508
Narrator: Daniel is taking medication and

0:13:44.508,0:13:46.554
undergoing psychological therapy.

0:13:46.554,0:13:48.866
These, together with everyday interaction

0:13:48.866,0:13:51.166
with staff are the cornerstone of

0:13:51.166,0:13:52.666
the treatment here.

0:13:52.666,0:13:54.796
Man in Suit: "Have you noticed any benefit?"

0:13:54.796,0:13:56.266
Daniel: " I don't really know what it is

0:13:56.266,0:13:57.206
I'm looking for."

0:13:57.206,0:13:58.726
Man in Suit: " I have noticed a difference

0:13:58.726,0:14:01.486
in you, not within the last week, but

0:14:01.486,0:14:03.816
certainly over the last three months. I

0:14:03.816,0:14:06.016
think that you are much more able to

0:14:06.016,0:14:08.616
spend a good time with people in one to

0:14:08.616,0:14:09.796

0:14:09.909,0:14:14.039
[ducks quack, dramatic music]

0:14:14.259,0:14:16.579
Narrator: Broadmoor can feel like a ghost

0:14:16.579,0:14:19.090
town. Patients can only move at certain

0:14:19.090,0:14:21.714
times and in certain configurations.

0:14:22.110,0:14:24.740
Their cameras record where each patient is

0:14:24.740,0:14:26.240
at any given moment.

0:14:26.240,0:14:30.670
[Radio Chatter]

0:14:30.869,0:14:33.489
The control room ensures that incompatible

0:14:33.489,0:14:35.765
patients, do not collide.

0:14:36.011,0:14:40.611
[Radio Chatter]

0:14:41.197,0:14:43.842
Patients who are well enough, leave their

0:14:43.842,0:14:46.962
wards to go to work, study, and even once

0:14:46.962,0:14:49.613
a week go shopping. It's strangely like a

0:14:49.613,0:14:51.393
village.

[loud indistinct talking]

0:15:09.886,0:15:10.327
Shopkeeper: "Good."

0:15:13.488,0:15:15.872
Narrator: The freedom to shop is a

0:15:15.872,0:15:18.352
mixed blessing. One of the side effects

0:15:18.352,0:15:21.482
of medication is increased appetite

0:15:21.482,0:15:25.282
and many patients are severely overweight.

0:15:25.456,0:15:29.736
[indistinct talking]

0:15:29.906,0:15:32.716
However normal it feels, the reminder of

0:15:32.716,0:15:34.695
the threat of violence is ever-present.

0:15:35.478,0:15:37.924
Searches looking for potential weapons

0:15:37.924,0:15:40.803
are carried out before any patient movement.

0:15:41.399,0:15:43.409
Hospital Staff: This is stuff that we've

0:15:43.409,0:15:46.617
retrieved from patients. I think this is

0:15:46.617,0:15:49.727
just, what used to be a C.D. and its been

0:15:49.727,0:15:52.297
broken up into shards. It can be used as a

0:15:52.297,0:15:54.167
blade, it can be used for self harming.

0:15:54.167,0:15:56.605
In fact, we don't use the C.D.s here anymore.

0:15:56.678,0:15:59.128
We've got spoons and forks that have been

0:15:59.128,0:16:01.597
sharpened off on the edge. So a normal

0:16:01.597,0:16:04.327
teaspoon-plastic spoon-which is quite innocent

0:16:04.327,0:16:06.807
to you and I, has been fashioned off and

0:16:06.807,0:16:09.108
can be used as a potential weapon to stab.

0:16:09.108,0:16:11.458
It's an example of how vigilant we have to

0:16:11.458,0:16:13.052
be with everyday items".

0:16:16.105,0:16:18.531
Alex: "I've done a lot of self harming, as

0:16:18.531,0:16:21.681
you can see. I've cut my own throat a couple

0:16:21.681,0:16:24.511
of times. I've cut my throat like four

0:16:24.511,0:16:27.421
times I think. Umm funny enough, I think

0:16:27.421,0:16:29.256
It was like five weeks before I come here,

0:16:29.256,0:16:32.426
I hung myself and they had to do CPR

0:16:32.426,0:16:33.416
on me in the cell.

0:16:33.416,0:16:34.576
Like, you know?

0:16:36.932,0:16:39.332
I was sexually abused when I was a child

0:16:39.332,0:16:41.712
and that had an affect on my behavior.

0:16:41.712,0:16:43.332
And maybe we'll see that.

0:16:43.332,0:16:44.902
I couldn't sleep at night, and the rest

0:16:44.902,0:16:46.352
of it...I was, you know...

0:16:46.352,0:16:48.132
Basically everything that you go through

0:16:48.132,0:16:49.952
when you've had a traumatic situation

0:16:49.952,0:16:51.195
like I did.

0:16:52.245,0:16:54.232
I think as well as being here,

0:16:54.232,0:16:55.822
I said to my mum 'this feels like the

0:16:55.822,0:16:58.111
best I've ever been in ten years."

0:17:01.485,0:17:03.745
Man in Tan Suit: Patients that come here,

0:17:03.745,0:17:05.851
they will have perpetrated, often,

0:17:05.851,0:17:08.691
horrendous crimes. But, they are also

0:17:08.691,0:17:12.791
victims. It is very easy to see somebody

0:17:12.791,0:17:14.981
as either the perpetrator or the victim.

0:17:14.981,0:17:17.399
It is much more difficult to understand

0:17:17.399,0:17:19.889
that somebody might be both.

you for giving up your time. I know you

Poet and Lawyer Dave Neita is encouraging

0:17:45.421,0:17:47.418
them to celebrate their different cultures.

Dave Neita: "Today I invite you to speak

0:17:49.791,0:17:52.691
about your different culture, but before

0:17:52.691,0:17:54.661
that we're going to have lunch."

It helps. It's good. It's nice to be different.

0:18:24.622,0:18:26.492
Because different is what we need. We

0:18:26.492,0:18:29.142
don't want everyone the same. And that's it."

Declan: "I remember the day that my

0:18:54.983,0:18:57.193
mum took me to this office. I sat there

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'.

I kept running away. Cause' I got abused

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When I was in the children home. By the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
staff. Sexually and physical. And umm I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
think it was like, no one would actually

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
listen to me.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I ran away to London, and I was living on

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the streets. I mean I was living out in-

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and yeah....not the nicest spot. Out in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the streets you have to do that sometimes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you know what I mean?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Inmate in Red: "Yeah guys, this is called

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It goes like this: When you see a tramp

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
out on the street. Don't look down your

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
nose so far that you see your own feet.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When you see people homeless don't reach

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for a broom. Consider if you have the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
means to give them a room.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Declan: "Am I a victim? I mean my current

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
defendant...umm...basically stabbed 'em

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
up. The judge classed it under as torture".

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Inmate in Blue: "I'm black, I'm

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
British, and I'm proud of it [fades into

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
clapping and drums]."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Female Voice: "You say you've got a child?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Declan: "Mm-hm. Got a little boy,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
he's seven.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And he lives with his mum.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Don't really see him, but I would-

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I wouldn't expect children to come in a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
place like this."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Female Voice: "And are you still on good

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
terms with his mum?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Declan: "Ummm...<b>laughs</b>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
not really. No.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I started having a bit of a relationship

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with [name beeped out]. Sooo, yeah..that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was the first time I found out that I was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sort of that way.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've always-for some reason-I've always

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
wanted to be a woman.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I think that's the way I

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but in this place you can't do that,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the way I love it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Declan in front of room: "I just wanted

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to say I'm gay, and I'm proud of it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Thank you."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Declan: "I want to be a Drag Queen that's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what I've done for a while."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Female Voice: "What's she called?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Declan: "Crystal."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Female Voice: "And what's she look like?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Declan: "Blonde, and just fabulous

[Intense music]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Narrator: Ive come to Chepstow, a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
medium-dependancy ward, where Lenny

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
wants to show us his artwork.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Female Voice: "You do it, your artwork?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lenny: "Yeah. I do work with spare pens,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it's mostly based on pens and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
basically your using cuts and shapes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and bottle tops to draw around.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Female Voice: "How long have you been here?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lenny: "7 years this time.:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Female voice: "Is it not your first time?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lenny: "Second Time.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
what do you think of that one?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Thats the corridors in border shop

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
down there."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Female Voice: "So why are you considered

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a risk?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lenny: "Because...I think its because of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my particular offense was against a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
consulting psychiatrist. Because they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
called in a section 12 approved psychiatrist.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And they're very powerful, not like- not

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like when you go to an ordinary doctor.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
They-they work from home office."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Narrator: He's not happy with life in

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Broadmoor, and tells us he's bringing a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
High Court case against the hospital.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lenny: "It costs how much? What was the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
last figure they said it cost to keep us

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
here every year? 320,000 pounds a year or

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
something? Surely its-its wrong to charge

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a fortune for people like us. When we're

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
nowhere near about the centers of the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
community."

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Narrator: I costs 300,000 pounds a year

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to keep a patient in Broadmoor. Almost

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
five times the cost of keep someone in prison.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Before Lenny came to Broadmoor, he was

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in outpatient at a psychiatric hospital

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
where he threatened his psychiatrist with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a machete.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Female Voice: "Do you think you shouldn't

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be here, or?"

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Lenny: "Do you think I sound like a

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
mad blathering idiot?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Cause' I think-No I don't think I should

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be here. I think I should be sharing this-

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
my life- with people. I want to be

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sharing my life with people. I want to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
be...yeah...I can't believe
