Talk:Broadmoor Hospital

message: Is it necerserry to have a reference for the title of the article. It looks a bit silly TBH. Ydam 14:03, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Broadmoor isn't a "maximum security" hospital; it is classed as "high" secure, equivalent to a Category B UK prison. A Category A UK prison is more secure and in the UK there is no such thing as a "maximum" scure hosptial or prison. I've changed the relevant part of the text to reflect this.

message: "The Republic of Ireland has The Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum."
I don't see why this article should mention anything about the Republic of Ireland's hospitals, some people here may be misinformed and think that the two countries are still in union and are dependent on one another, this is not the case, they are two separate sovereign states. Talking about the ROI here is akin to mentioning hospitals in China, Germany or Mexico, it's unneeded and inappropriate. Removed for the time being.

thread_title: Reference to ROI hospital in first paragraph

message: "During the early 1990s at least one nearby school maintained, and on occasion used, procedures designed to ensure, in the event of a Broadmoor escape, that no child was ever out of the direct supervision of a member of staff"  --  Obviously, this wordy nonsence of a sentence was composed by an inmate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.69.81.2 (talk) 18:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: More likely it's a student from one of those schools, this would be about their standard of education. It's factually accurate, and probably relevant to the article though. I had to go through this in middle school (years 4-6). Instead of being free to meet our parents somewhere outside school or walk home or whatever everyone had to stay in the classroom. Parents/guardians had to come in and we had to confirm to the teacher they were who they claimed to be before we were allowed to leave. The staff had to stay until every single kid had gone home, even if no one was available to collect them for hours. Fortunately it only happened once in my lifetime and they caught the escapee that night. 86.166.235.1 (talk) 13:38, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Horrid sentence structure 

message: One contributor has suggested that Satan was a patient but we are not told what year and there appears to be little evidence on google. It was deleted on 27th January 2011.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.74.241.39 (talk) 14:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Should there at least be mention of the role of an assessment at Broadmoor of Colin Hatch (just another pedophile or a psychopath?)
Or will we watch to prevent removal of the mention of Broadmoor from the Colin Hatch article - as "cleanup" ?

message: The Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal is linked to this subject as Jimmy Saville was involved with a taskforce with keys and a room, was suspected of being an abuser by some staff at Broadmoor and alleged to have committed abuse at several locations including Broadmoor.Autarch (talk) 23:27, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it should be mentioned here.  If I have time I'll do a brief paragraph, drawing on the sources already in the Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal article, and Savile's own biographical article, but I'm a bit "Saviled out" at the moment (aren't we all?) so if others want to go ahead first, that's fine by me.

text: PS: Now added a brief paragraph.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A very nicely done brief paragraph I might add! Rwendland (talk) 16:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, an excellent summary! Autarch (talk) 04:10, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. Walks the tightrope between extreme coverage and blandness very precisely. Britmax (talk) 19:06, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal 

message: Couple of stats in the introduction which don't seem to be sourced there or anywhere:
"Most of the patients there suffer from severe mental illness; many also have personality disorders." (what about the latter diagnosis without the former?)
"Most have either been convicted of serious crimes, or been found unfit to plead in a trial for such crimes." (what about those who had a trial but were e.g. found not guilty by reason of insanity, could have still been sectioned under MH Act to Broadmoor?)
And a mis-represented source in the body of the article (prison misconception subsection):
"in response to claims that criminals were being given unfairly pleasant treatment in the facility, commented, "It's not fair, but what is the alternative? If these people committed crimes because they were suffering from an acute mental illness then they should be in hospital" - The citation for this is showing up wrong, because two different citations have both been named 'BBC'. It is in fact this one and it does NOT say 'unfairly pleasant treatment' - it talks about "nagging concern about the extraordinary level of effort and investment being channelled into the patients". It is also dubious wording here because they are not legally criminals if they were not convicted as such due to mental illness. Wishfulness (talk) 22:18, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
