Summary Patients or Prisoners 1952-2013. We pick up the story in 1952. For nearly 90 years Broadmoor had contained an extraordinary array of mentally ill criminals, and staff had experimented on them with a range of shocking and dangerous treatments. But the regime was essentially liberal, security lax, and Broadmoor had excited little public interest - until notorious child-murderer John Straffen escaped and within hours strangled a 6-year-old girl.
