Broadmoor is a high security hospital that houses the UK's most dangerous criminals suffering from mental health conditions. At different times, the Stockwell Strangler Kenneth Erskine, the Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, the cannibal Peter Brian, the leader of the London gang Ronnie Kray and other serial killers, robbers and rapists visited the walls of this institution. This book, written by television journalist Jonathan Levy and art historian Emma French, is dedicated to the history, inhabitants and workers of Broadmoor. For many years, the authors studied the archives, communicated with doctors, patients, hospital staff, and their publication became the most complete study about this gloomy place. For what reason did people do the terrible things that brought them to Broadmoor? Can the best specialists cure them? How is the inner life of a hospital more like a ghost town? This book introduces Broadmoor's past, present and future, revealing the reality that exists behind the myth.
