Inside Broadmoor: Up Close And Personal With Britain's Most Dangerous Criminals by Jonathan Levi PDF



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 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.



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.
