Broadmoor
A News of the World investigation exposed the
luxuries showered on Britain's most odious thugs
and killers. These are the secrets the government
tried to keep hidden behind reinforced concrete
and toughened steel because honest taxpayers
would be amazed at the way tens of millions of
pounds are being spent. But for the first time it
is revealed that the secure hospital whose
‘patients' include Yorkshire Ripper Peter
Sutcliffe, Stockwell Strangler Kenneth Erskine
and Soho Nailbomber David Copeland, has:
WATER
BEDS in a softly-lit
‘snoozealeum' so mass murderers can
while away the hours.
DVD PLAYERS and colour TVs
in virtually all bedrooms —
remote-controlled so inmates can relax in
bed.
PLAYSTATIONS and
remote-control cars on wards allow the warped
and plain insane to hone their reflexes.
A SPORTS CENTRE costing
£4million and housing a gym whose name is
the ultimate insult to every maimed victim of
Broadmoor's psychopaths..the Wellness Centre.
A CRAZY GOLF COURSE in the
grounds.
PERSONAL KEYS to bedrooms
(never called ‘cells') so inmates can
lock their doors from the inside.
And
as Broadmoor is now funded from the NHS budget,
all these luxuries are taking money that could be
diverted to mainstream hospitals. Security is a
shambles and sexual assault is commonplace. In
one outrageous lapse, paedophile Gary Nuttall was
able to TELEPHONE his young victim from a
Broadmoor payphone! The dossier on Broadmoor was
compiled with the help of a staff member so
disgusted that he turned whistleblower.
"Word has gone round the Prison Service of
how cushy it is inside Broadmoor," he said.
"Criminals are faking madness to get in
here."
The Broadmoor day begins in a leisurely fashion
as ‘patients' (never, ever insulted with the
term ‘prisoner') wake up and switch on the
TV so they can watch from bed. Staff are
powerless to prevent patients—including sex
offenders—displaying nude pictures on walls.
One paedophile who abused little boys has
decorated his room with photos cut from a gay
porn mag. Breakfast is served between 8 and
8.30am with a choice of boiled eggs, cereal and
toast. There are also vegetarian, vegan and halal
options. On special days, such as Christmas, a
hearty full English is on the menu.
On some wards there is no set time for leaving
the cell, so many return to bed and laze all day.
On other wards patients must be out of their
rooms by 9am for medication. Naturally, there are
no prescription fees — they are reserved for
the law-abiding on the outside. After breakfast
and medication, patients engage in a range of
activities from 9.30am to midday. At the Patient
Education Centre patients study a range of
subjects and take GCSEs, NVQs, and degrees. In
the outside world students are paying huge
tuition fees. Inside Broadmoor it's all free of
charge.
In the more secure units of Broadmoor, a group
called Recreational Therapy Services come to the
wards and do artwork with the patients, or play
Scrabble, computer games and pool, or listen to
DVDs. Some also play with radio-controlled cars
along the floors. Which all serves to pass the
time until lunch. As in restaurants, diners
choose from menus. Choices include chicken, pork,
sausage casserole and potato croquettes. On
Sundays there is a full roast dinner with beef or
chicken, roast potatoes and vegetables. Desserts
include apple pie, gateaux, cheesecake, ice cream
and fruit.
From 1pm to 4pm there are more activities. In the
grounds are a football pitch, cricket ground,
tennis court, ...and a crazy golf course that
would grace a holiday centre. Broadmoor also
unveiled a £4million sports centre housing three
units—the Wellness gym, sports hall, and
swimming pool. The gym has 11 resistance
machines, four running machines, three bikes, two
cross-trainer machines, and four rowers. The
sports hall has facilities for badminton, tennis,
football, volleyball, netball, basketball and
short mat bowls. The heated swimming pool is used
for aqua aerobics, lap training, and swimming
lessons.
And if all this gets too much, there is always
the new ‘snoozealum'—a room with
waterbeds, soft lighting and running water
sounds. At 4.30 patients go back to their wards
to freshen up before dinner. This is followed by
the offer of more medication before evening
activities get under way. The central hall of
Broadmoor hosts discos which, until recently,
were mixed, leading to a number of sex scandals.
A survey of 28 female patients in 2001 revealed
1,008 cases of verbal abuse; 64 cases of sexual
harassment; 56 of sexual abuse; six cases of
consensual sex; and five rapes. (Source: News of the World)
Murderers
and rapists at Broadmoor Hospital are being
treated to lavish barbecues costing the taxpayer
£22,000. The menu will include burgers,
sausages, tuna steaks and seafood. The patients
will be offered a range of soft drinks and the
meal will be followed by a dessert of ice cream
followed by a disco for patients.
