The Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller 'There is time and then there is
Broadmoor time.' Broadmoor. Few place names in the world have such
chilling resonance. For over 150 years, it has contained the UK's
most violent, dangerous and psychopathic. Since opening as an
asylum for the criminally insane in 1863 it has housed the
perpetrators of many of the most shocking crimes in history;
including Jack the Ripper suspect James Kelly, serial killers Peter
Sutcliffe (the Yorkshire Ripper), John Straffen and Kenneth
Erskine, armed robber Charles Bronson, gangster Ronnie Kray, and
cannibal Peter Bryan. The truth about what goes on behind the
Victorian walls of the high security hospital has largely remained
a mystery, but now with unprecedented access TV journalist Jonathan
Levi and cultural historian Emma French paint a vivid picture of
life at Broadmoor, after nearly a decade observing and speaking to
those on the inside. Including interviews with the staff, its
experts and the patients themselves, Inside Broadmoor is the most
comprehensive study of the institution to-date. Published at the
dawn of a new era for the hospital, this is the full story of
Broadmoor's past, present and future and a dark but enlightening
journey into the minds of Britain's most dangerous and how they are
treated.
