Luckily I never went to a high dependency

00:09:56.813 --> 00:09:59.783
And, to be honest, its been...
00:09:59.783 --> 00:10:01.473
I wouldn't use the word wonderful...
00:10:01.473 --> 00:10:03.493

00:10:10.834 --> 00:10:12.824
This was the, uh... my first real attempt
00:10:12.824 --> 00:10:15.444
at an actual portrait. All done completely
00:10:15.444 --> 00:10:19.724

charcoal along with, uh.. graphite.
00:10:22.270 --> 00:10:24.600

Daniel was a 14 year old boy at a
00:10:53.270 --> 00:10:55.624
mainstream school, and no one anticipated
00:10:55.624 --> 00:10:58.194

grave and immediate risk to the public.
00:11:15.958 --> 00:11:18.538
And many have committed violent crimes.

From arson, to torture, rape and murder.

Daniel: "I've been a bit of a conundrum
00:11:30.737 --> 00:11:32.237
for the psychologists.
00:11:32.237 --> 00:11:34.007
And I've have, I've had about nine different
00:11:34.007 --> 00:11:36.987
diagnoses from thirty different doctors.
00:11:36.987 --> 00:11:38.967
I've had seminars about me done,
00:11:38.967 --> 00:11:40.567
I've had people wanting to write books about me,
00:11:40.567 --> 00:11:42.607
just because of the unusuallity of
00:11:42.607 --> 00:11:46.847
my offense, and my age, and what happened...
00:11:46.847 --> 00:11:48.467
I mean, my family are my saving grace
00:11:48.467 --> 00:11:49.541
to be honest here. They, they,
00:11:49.541 --> 00:11:51.591
they're hugely...hugely supportive.
00:11:51.591 --> 00:11:54.381
And what's even more amazing is that my offense
00:11:54.381 --> 00:11:56.471
was actually oriented against my family.
00:11:56.471 --> 00:11:59.491
So I think...so the fact....and, and, what a
00:11:59.491 --> 00:12:02.201
lot of people see is that, when a family
00:12:02.201 --> 00:12:03.551
member has committed an offense against
00:12:03.551 --> 00:12:07.328
a family member they're often...dis-disowned.
00:12:07.328 --> 00:12:09.673
So it think it's...it's too much for the family.
00:12:09.673 --> 00:12:12.743
But, they-they, have told me that they swore
00:12:12.743 --> 00:12:14.703
they'd stay by me when they, when I was
00:12:14.703 --> 00:12:16.143
christened, and they have. So I think,
00:12:16.143 --> 00:12:16.643
ya know...
00:12:16.643 --> 00:12:19.684
They've always-they've always agreed I've had Aspergers.
00:12:19.684 --> 00:12:21.443
One of the problems I have is I'm
00:12:21.443 --> 00:12:23.576
not very good at understanding emotions.
00:12:23.576 --> 00:12:26.686
Or...if I have a...if I'm feeling something
00:12:26.686 --> 00:12:28.986
I don't always understand what it is that
00:12:28.986 --> 00:12:29.618
I'm feeling.
00:12:29.618 --> 00:12:32.808
But if I can draw it, I can get out these
00:12:32.808 --> 00:12:35.258
angry feelings, or these frustrations of
00:12:35.258 --> 00:12:38.008
being locked up, or guilt, or remorse.
00:12:38.008 --> 00:12:40.638

can channel through this imaginative artworks".

the words of what I actually done.
00:12:52.404 --> 00:12:54.034
I've never admitted it.
00:12:56.826 --> 00:12:59.734
Because I still, I still get flashbacks.
00:12:59.734 --> 00:13:01.204
It's mainly guilt.

00:17:40.461 --> 00:17:42.551
Narrator: Todays a diversity workshop and
00:17:42.551 --> 00:17:45.421
Poet and Lawyer Dave Neita is encouraging
00:17:45.421 --> 00:17:47.418
them to celebrate their different cultures.
00:17:47.481 --> 00:17:49.791
Dave Neita: "Today I invite you to speak
00:17:49.791 --> 00:17:52.691
about your own culture, but before
00:17:52.691 --> 00:17:54.661
that we're going to have lunch."
00:17:55.755 --> 00:17:58.685
But most of them are celebrating lunch.
00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:03.190
[drums continue]
00:18:03.190 --> 00:18:05.650
With no alcohol or tobacco allowed, food
00:18:05.650 --> 00:18:08.210
is the only thing they have free reign over.
00:18:08.365 --> 00:18:13.785
[drums in background]
00:18:14.725 --> 00:18:16.215
Alex: "My mum's Italian and my dad's from
00:18:16.215 --> 00:18:17.215
a little island in Africa
00:18:17.215 --> 00:18:20.922
and I would say that being multicultural
00:18:20.922 --> 00:18:24.622
It helps. It's good. It's nice to be different.
00:18:24.622 --> 00:18:26.492
Because different is what we need. We
00:18:26.492 --> 00:18:29.142
don't want everyone the same. And that's it."
00:18:31.001 --> 00:18:34.540
Declan: "How'd I end up in here? Umm
00:18:34.540 --> 00:18:36.740
they said they had a spare bed so I
00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:38.950
thought 'I've been in children's homes,
00:18:38.950 --> 00:18:40.939
I've been in secure units, I've been in prison.
00:18:40.939 --> 00:18:43.293
The only place I haven't been is Broadmoor.
00:18:43.293 --> 00:18:45.203
So I thought I'd come along.
00:18:45.203 --> 00:18:47.813
laughs"
00:18:47.813 --> 00:18:48.753
[drumming]
00:18:48.753 --> 00:18:50.993
Narrator: Now 26, Declan was put
00:18:50.993 --> 00:18:52.773
into care at the age of nine.
00:18:52.773 --> 00:18:54.983
Declan: "I remember the day that my
00:18:54.983 --> 00:18:57.193
mum took me to this office. I sat there
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in a chair, and the next minute she just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
left. She went 'your not coming with me'.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A social worker come out and she went
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
'alright, you got to come with me'.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I went to children's homes, foster homes.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I kept running away, cause' I got abused
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I was in the children home. By the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
staff. Sexually and physical. And umm I
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
think it was like, no one would actually
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
listen to me.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I ran away to London, and I was living on
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the streets. I mean I was living out of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
bins, yeah....not nice but, when you're
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on the streets you have to do that sometimes.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you know what I mean?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Inmate in Red: "Yeah guys, this is called
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Think, yeah?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It goes like this: When you see a tramp
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
out on the street. Don't look down your
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
nose so far that you see your own feet.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When you see people homeless don't reach
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for a broom. Consider if you have the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
means to give them a room.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: "Am I a victim? I mean my current
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
defendant...umm...basically stabbed 'em
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
up. The judge classed it under as torture".
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Inmate in Blue: "I'm black, I'm
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
British, and I'm proud of it [fades into
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Female Voice: "You say you've got a child?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: "Mm-hm. Got a little boy,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he's seven.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And he lives with his mum.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Don't really see him, but I would-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I wouldn't expect children to come in a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
place like this."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Female Voice: "And are you still on good
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
terms with his mum?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: "Ummm...laughs
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
not really. No.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I started having a bit of a relationship
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with [name beeped out]. Sooo, yeah..that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was the first time I found out that I was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sort of that way.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I've always-for some reason-I've always
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wanted to be a woman.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think that's the way I am, you know
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but in this place you can't do that,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they won't allow it."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan in front of room: "I just wanted
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to say I'm gay, and I'm proud of it.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thank you."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: "I want to be a Drag Queen that's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what I've done for a while."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Female Voice: "What's she called?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: "Crystal."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Female Voice: "And what's she look like?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: "Blonde, and just fabulous

[Intense music]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: We've come to Chepstow, a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
medium-dependancy ward, where Lenny
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
wants to show us his artwork.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Female Voice: "You do it in your room?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: "Yeah. I do work with spare pens,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it's mostly based on pens and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
basically your using cups and shapes
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and bottle tops to draw around.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Female Voice: "How long have you been here?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: "7 years this time."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Female voice: "Is it not your first time?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: "No it's the second time.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What do you think of that one?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's the corridors in a ward that's shut
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
down now."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Female Voice: "So why are you considered
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a risk?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: "Because...I think its because of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
my particular offense was against a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
consulting psychiatrist. They
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
called in a section 12 approved psychiatrist.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And they're very powerful, not like- not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like when you go to an ordinary doctor.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They-they work from home office."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: He's not happy with life in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Broadmoor, and tells us he's bringing a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
High Court case against the hospital.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: "It costs how much? What was the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
last figure they said it cost to keep us
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here every year? 320,000 pounds a year or
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
something? Surely its-its wrong to charge
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a fortune for people like us. When we're
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
nowhere near about the centers of the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
community."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: I costs 300,000 pounds a year
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to keep a patient in Broadmoor. Almost
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
five times the cost of keep someone in prison.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Before Lenny came to Broadmoor, he was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in outpatient at a psychiatric hospital
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where he threatened his psychiatrist with
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a machete.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Female Voice: "Do you think you shouldn't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be here, or?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: "Do you think I sound like a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
mad blathering idiot?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Cause' I think-No I don't think I should
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be here. I think I should be sharing this-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
my life- with people. I want to be
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
sharing my life with people. I want to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be able to decide
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what I do, when I do it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and be reasonably responsible for my
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
own behavior, like anyone else out there.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I don't think I'll be any more of a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
danger then whatever's already out there.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I will be honest with you, I am rude
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here, I could be really furious and angry
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and people come with 'You're the patient,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
yeah? That is a term we use to separate
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you from the rest of society, we're the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
last thing on earth -this is the truth
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here- to be given what you call equal
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
rights. What do you think? You agree
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or not? I'm not anti-people I'm all for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
people."
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: Downstairs on the admissions
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ward, Alex is keen to progress.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alex: I was seven months up in here
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
yesterday, seven months yesterday. It's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
taking forever. Are you aware of any
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
beds coming up soon?"
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: His medication has stabilized
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
him. He wants to move from Admissions to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and Assertive Rehab ward, where he'll
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
have greater freedom.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Man in suit: That I don't know.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alex: Well you should know, [laughing]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you're a consultant in there!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Man in suit: Yes- I can't- I don't know
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the timescales, cause it's not quite
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
within my control...

Narrator: Back upstairs on Chepstow,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Benson, the PAT dog, has arrived for
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
his weekly visit.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny's behavior over the past few days
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is becoming a cause for concern.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He's been increasingly manic and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hyperactive, and his doctor feels he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
needs medication.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[door clatter] Dog Handler: Bye!
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: Lenny refuses to take it,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so it'll have to be forcibly administered,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by injection.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: Hang on hang on, you filming?

started, if you just mind, just, just-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
please.. OK? All right
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: At this point, staff tell us
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to leave the ward.

[moody music]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're told we can see Lenny the following
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
day. [door shuts]

Lenny: Neil? Neil, could we have a key
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
please? There should [unintelligible]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: The day before, we were told to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
leave the ward when staff were about
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to forcibly inject Lenny with
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
antipsychotic medication.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He's keen to explain what happened after
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we left.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: Come this way-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I moved into here-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: He leads us into the seclusion
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
area.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: Come in, come in.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All right, well [unintelligible] First
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of all, I was at that point, I was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
laying like this, alright, and I was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
talking saying 'Please don't turn me
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
over, cos I'm not trying to fight you'
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And they said, and the next thing happened
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they all came in and [unintelligible]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can make a deal with them, I'm on the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
bed, so I'm like this, one point, all the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
staff were holding me, I was like that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and said 'Would you please let me go,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I'll get up' so I went like that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and stood like that and took down my
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
pants and trousers and he stopped
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
me there, let's see, I came out again,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that's what happened, but I didn't-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What do you think? What's your opinion
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about that?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Interviewer: But did you, so did you hit
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one of them then?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: Yeah but that's cos I was being
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
chased [unintelligible].
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One of the biggest areas of conflict, um
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
between certainly doctor and patient
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is the issue of medication.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: This one's sealed, alright?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's stifling sometimes.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Doctor, offscreen: One of the difficulties
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with psychotic disorders is your
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
interpretation of reality is different
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from other people's.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And if you genuinely believe there's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
nothing wrong with you and you don't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
need any medication, why on earth would
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you want to take some of the medications
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that would be up for discussion?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: Could we open this door please?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Doctor: He's particularly angry for two
reasons, so
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one is he doesn't believe he'll benefit
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from the medication at all, second reason
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that he believes he's involved in a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
major, high court case against the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hospital to expose a range of malpractice
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
particularly in relation to him, but in
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
general about how these services are just
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
really keeping people in jobs and don't
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
provide any useful service.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: The hospital's defense is just-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
'Here's some of the most notorious
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
people in the country,' I'll show you
what-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Doctor: He believes we've given him the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
medication purely to dull his mind
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and weaken his chances of being successful
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in that case.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In fact he's not currently involved
in any,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uh, legal action or court case.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: No you're not going in there
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's private, sorry come on you guys
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's private. It's my mess, my own mess.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hey look, can you show 'em all now?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Look at that, that's my mum and me.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
See she pretty in the black and white from
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the 60s, see her?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Doctor: He's a man who's spent a long
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
time in institutional care, um in previous
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
settings was frequently assaulted, he was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
violent himself on several occasions
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but he often assaulted.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: You want a drink or anything, cup
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of tea or something?
[offscreen] I'm fine
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You sure? Any sweets, soft drink?
[offscreen] Nothing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: Alright thanks very, thank you
very much [unintelligible]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[contemplative music]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[keys clattering, chatter]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[offscreen] Just check to make sure, all
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the shadows are covered..
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So they're checked, first thing in the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
morning, again before the patients go back
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[door handle rattles]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: Patients who are well enough
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to go to work can make goods, which go
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on sale to the public. They are paid
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
80 pence an hour.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alex has been doing well and is now
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
allowed off the Admissions ward to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
come to work.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alex: Everyone's saying 'Oh you gonna move
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you're gonna move' they said I would have
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
moved by Thursday last week, nothing
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so far now, I've been onto my psychiatrist
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
saying, 'Look, why am I still on at
Admission ward,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
after 8 months, when there's a bed for me
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on Rehab? Know?'
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Interviewer: You a bit frustrated?
Alex: Yeah
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it is frustrating, but
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm just at the moment, focusing, cos next
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
week I've got a visit, mum and dad are
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
coming up for 2 days, so, y'know, I'll
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
spend some time with my family.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[tapping]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[outdoor ambiance, guitar music]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: They have a saying here:
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's time, and then there's Broadmoor
Time.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tan shirt: Which episode did you see last,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of Eastenders? Bout a week ago?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Black shirt: Last night?
Tan shirt: Last night?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Black shirt: Last night yeah
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tan shirt: Did they show the man who was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
pretending to be Nick Cotton's own son?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Black shirt: No I didn't see it
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[moody music]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: While medication can often
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
control behavior, extensive therapy is
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
needed to change it, and that takes time.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Estelle: I'm in the diary, ok?
[offscreen] OK
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: Estelle Moore is the hospital's
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
lead psychologist, she's been here for 20
years.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Estelle: [keys jangling] You alright?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: They say just carry on with the
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
violent offenders group, what finishes in
December
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: Patients undergo specific
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
therapies depending on their offense,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
whether it's violence, sex offending, or
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
fire setting.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: -understand our relationships and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uhh, borderlines. No not borderlines,
boundaries.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Estelle: What sort of actions are safe
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and contained in relationships? The sorts
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of things that you would do that feel
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like normal and safe relationships?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: Laughter
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Estelle: Laughter? OK so laughing,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: Talking sensible. Feeling
comfortable with each other.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[keys, footsteps]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: Declan was found guilty of a
life-threatening assault on a man.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Declan: Do I feel sorry for him? No.
Will I do it again? No.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No. I'm missing the sun, I'm missing
the surfing. Know what I mean?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[keys, door squeaks]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[door shuts]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[moody music]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ping pong ball clatters]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: Lenny has been on antipsychotic
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
medication for a few weeks.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has had time to build up in his system.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ponytail] Now he's had the depot
injection, the chemicals from that
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are slowing down his reactions to the
point where he has those few
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
more seconds to think-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
'How am I gonna reply to this?'
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and he will reply in a much more- manner
to what you or I would reply to something.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can definitely empathize with him, he
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hasn't come from a different
background to me
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but he has come from different parents
to me.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Interviewer, offscreen] It seems to be
the case with so many.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, I know, I agree with that, you can
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
probably see if you go back into, um,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the lives of most of our patients, you
could probably identify them at
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
5, 6 years old, and say 'I'll be seeing
you later on' and things like that.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: He's alright here, he's my buddy,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one day he's gonna tell the
truth as well. [laughs]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[walkie talkie chatter]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[Doctor, offscreen] Everyone is born with
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
certain temperaments, with certain
predispositions to certain
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
behavior, and if you've been given a
triple-whammy of, of genes, environment,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
upbringing, childhood adversity, substance
misuse, all of those different
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
aspects build up to make the person.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it's a long term project of gradually
putting somebody back together and
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
making sure that they stay in that
recovered state.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[ominous music]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: Things have finally changed for
Alex-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
after 8 months, he's been moved to
Assertive Rehab.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alex: It's better over here, it's a little
better.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Got a lot more freedom, key to a door,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
come out when you want to make hot drinks,
yeah, it's alright.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: But it's not all good news. As
so often in the past,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
he's in danger of self-harming.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He's had to be put on Eyesight Observation
which means nurses have to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
take turns to watch him, 24 hours a day.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alex: Cos my mental state haven't been
the best, it's not nice, you know,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hearing voices and what-have-you, but
you know, just got to control it,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that's all you can do, not let it get
to you.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alex, offscreen: Dr Romero said I'm gonna
be here a few years, yet
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nurse: A few years?
Alex: A few years.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nurse: How do you feel about that?
Alex: I don't mind...
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nurse: You don't mind?
Alex: I'm here for a reason.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nurse: All right.
Alex: Get better, innit? So
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if that means I got to stay a
couple years, so be it. But-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm getting there, now.
Nurse: You're getting there.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alex: [unintelligible]
Nurse: Mhmm
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Alex: Least, at least there was no
violence.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Nurse: Which is good! You should be proud
of. At least it shows that you're
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
making, you know, more progress.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[meditative music]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: Alex's mental state continued
to deteriorate, after a couple of weeks
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
on the ward did self-harm, and had to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
be moved back a High Dependency ward.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[nighttime ambiance]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
[keys rattling, chatter]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: On Chepstow Ward, Dr Larkin
wants to discuss a recent incident
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
involving Lenny and another doctor.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: I would say that I was really
pleased that they are now starting to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
track and find pedophiles in our society,
how pleased I was, and that they
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
weren't just ordinary poor folk that
were getting nicked, it was also
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
people of importance were getting
found out.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Larkin: Right
Lenny: And I'm really pleased about that,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and she felt threatened that I was saying
it also included
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a couple of doctors, that were nicked
for pedophilia.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Larkin: You're not angry with her about
something in her report?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: No, it wasn't anything with her,
it wasn't directed towards her
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it was directed towards the general idea
of pedophilia, cos you know I am
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a victim of pedophilia, for 9 years,
under the Home Office, when I was
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a child myself, and they've done
nothing, but- um, bury that fact.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Cos I'm an offender. I am an offender,
and I admit that, I'm guilty of the crime
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that brought me to Broadmoor,
I threatened to kill a Section 12
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
consultant psychiatrist, like you are,
with a machete.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But, I'm not guilty of raping myself.
Larkin: Well-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think the issue is that you felt
nobody here was [crosstalk]
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: I was being tied up, right? Raped,
against my will, alcohol shoved down
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
my throat, right, pacified, with- with all
kinds of medicines that belong to
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that person, you know, not me, so
that I would be pliable
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and agree to having sex, which I didn't
want to do, with a
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
5 or 6 year-old boy, but 9 years
I was in the system itself, being-
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
seeing psychologists at the same time
I'm being raped, and nobody did
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a single thing to help me. You are
offering me therapy, and I'm not
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
angry at you- I'm not angry at anybody-
I'm angry at did what they did
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to me. And no one recognized that I
was a victim.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Larkin: So, are we agreeing that you're
gonna meet with David
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
about options for therapy for you as a
victim?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: Yeah thank you very much Dr Larkin.
Larkin: You're welcome, okay.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: Thank you. I got to keep- I'm
keeping trouble free- if I keep out of
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
trouble for- for 12 weeks, they'll let me
work in the cafe?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Larkin: Yes, you think you can do that?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lenny: Be hard, but I'll give it a try.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Narrator: The most challenging patients
are housed here on Cranfield Ward.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Any movement outside their rooms has to
be carefully planned.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Violence is always near the surface.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Patients are allowed, one by one, in the
yard, for limited periods.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A patient doesn't want to return to
his room. [radio chatter]
