'''Broadmoor Hospital''' is a high-security [[psychiatric hospital]] in [[Crowthorne]], [[Berkshire]], England. 

It is the oldest of England's three high-security psychiatric hospitals, the other two being [[Ashworth Hospital]] near Liverpool and [[Rampton Secure Hospital]] in Nottinghamshire. The hospital's catchment area consists of four [[National Health Service]] regions: [[NHS London|London]], [[NHS East of England|Eastern]], [[NHS South East Coast|South East]] and [[NHS South West|South West]]. It is managed by the [[West London NHS Trust]].

[[File:Asylum for Criminal Lunatics, Broadmoor.jpg|thumb|left|The asylum in 1867]]
The hospital was first known as the Broadmoor Criminal [[Lunatic Asylum]].  Completed in 1863, it was built to a design by [[Joshua Jebb|Sir Joshua Jebb]], an officer of the Corps of [[Royal Engineers]], and covered {{convert|53|acre|ha|abbr=off}} within its secure perimeter.<ref name=nhle/>

The first patient was a female admitted for [[infanticide]] on 27 May 1863. Notes described her as being 'feeble minded'. It has been suggested by an analysis of her records that she most likely had [[congenital syphilis]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Broadmoor – My Journey Into Hell |first1=Charlie |last1=Bronson |first2=Lorraine |last2=Etherington |publisher=John Blake Publishing |year=2015 |isbn=978-1784181178}}</ref> The first male patients arrived on 27 February 1864. The original building plan of five blocks (four for men and one for women) was completed in 1868. An additional male block was built in 1902.<ref>{{cite book |last=Trainor |first=Terry |title=Bedlam. St. Mary of Bethlehem |publisher=Terry Trainor |year=2012 |isbn=978-1471714245}}</ref>

Due to overcrowding at Broadmoor, an extending asylum branch was constructed at [[Rampton Secure Hospital]] and opened in 1912. Rampton was closed as a branch asylum at the end of 1919 and reopened as an institution for "[[Intellectual disability|mental defectives]]" rather than lunatics. During the [[First World War]] Broadmoor's block 1 was also used as a [[Prisoner-of-war camp]], called Crowthorne War Hospital, for mentally ill German soldiers.<ref>Berkshire Record Office catalogue of Broadmoor Hospital records, introduction</ref>

After the escape in 1952 of [[John Straffen]], who murdered a local child, the hospital set up [[Broadmoor Sirens|an alarm system]], which was activated to alert people in the vicinity, as well as the public including those in the surrounding towns of [[Sandhurst, Berkshire|Sandhurst]], [[Wokingham]], [[Bracknell]], [[Camberley]] and [[Bagshot]], when any potentially dangerous patient escapes. It was based on [[Second World War]] [[air raid sirens]], and a two-tone alarm sounded across the whole area in the event of an escape. Until 2018, it was tested every Monday morning at 10 am for two minutes, after which a single tone 'all-clear' was sounded for a further two minutes. All schools in the area were required to keep procedures designed to ensure that in the event of a Broadmoor escape no child was ever out of the direct supervision of a member of staff. Sirens were located at [[Sandhurst School]], [[Wellington College, Berkshire|Wellington College]], [[Bracknell Forest Council]] depot and other sites until they were decommissioned upon the opening of the hospital's new site.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A7414292|title=h2g2 – The Broadmoor Siren – Edited Entry |author=Not Panicking Ltd|date=12 May 2013 |work=BBC |access-date=27 September 2015}}</ref><ref>[http://www.wlmht.nhs.uk/bm/broadmoor-hospital/the-broadmoor-siren/ The Broadmoor siren] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131116041750/http://www.wlmht.nhs.uk/bm/broadmoor-hospital/the-broadmoor-siren/ |date=16 November 2013 }}.

Following the Peter Fallon QC inquiry into Ashworth Special Hospital, which reported in 1999, and which found serious concerns about security and abuses resulting from poor management, it was decided to review the security at all three of the special hospitals in England. Until this time each was responsible for maintaining its own security policies.<ref name="fr">Fallon, Peter; Bluglass, Robert; Edwards, Brian; Daniels, Granville (January 1999)

In 2003, the [[Healthcare Commission|Commission for Healthcare Improvement]] declared the Victorian buildings at Broadmoor Hospital 'unfit for purpose'.<ref>{{cite news |title=Broadmoor Hospital's £298m revamp approved by NHS bosses |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-18957270 |access-date=27 September 2015 |work=[[BBC News]] |date=23 July 2012}}</ref>

==Nature of the facility==
Because of its high walls and other visible security features as well as the news reporting it has received in the past, the hospital is often assumed to be a prison by members of the public.<ref>Press Complaints Commission (9 Jan 2009) [http://www.pcc.org.uk/news/index.html?article=NTQ2Nw==  Broadmoor Hospital]  {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609193415/http://www.pcc.org.uk/news/index.html?article=NTQ2Nw%3D%3D |date=9 June 2011}} Accessed 1 March 2009</ref> Many of its patients are sent to it via the criminal justice system,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2014-11-05/broadmoor-in-numbers-what-you-didnt-know-about-the-berskhire-hospital/ |title=Broadmoor in numbers: What you didn't know about the Berkshire hospital |date=5 November 2014 |publisher=[[ITV News]] |access-date=23 May 2019}}</ref> and its original design brief incorporated an essence of addressing criminality in addition to mental illness.

The first medical superintendent was John Meyer. His assistant, [[William Orange (physician)|William Orange]], succeeded him.<ref>{{cite web|first=Mark|last= Stevens|date=25 February 2011|publisher=[[The National Archives (United Kingdom)|The National Archives]]|url=http://media.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php/broadmoor-revealed-the-victorian-asylum/ |title=Broadmoor revealed: The Victorian asylum}}</ref> Orange established "a management style that was greatly admired".

From its opening, until 1948, Broadmoor was managed by a council of supervision, appointed by and reporting to the [[Home Secretary]]. Thereafter, the [[Criminal Justice Act 1948]] transferred ownership of the hospital to the Department of Health (and the newly formed NHS) and oversight to the [[Board of Control for Lunacy and Mental Deficiency]] established under the Mental Deficiency Act 1913. It also renamed the hospital Broadmoor Institution. The hospital remained under direct control of the Department of Health – a situation that reportedly "combined notional central control with actual neglect"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.archive.official-documents.co.uk/document/cm41/4194/ash-01a.htm#1.18.0 |title=Ashworth Special Hospital: Report of the Committee of Inquiry |work=official-documents.co.uk |access-date=27 September 2015}}</ref> – until the establishment of the [[Special Hospitals Service Authority]] in 1989, with Charles Kaye as its first chief executive.<ref name="kaye-1998">{{cite book |author=Kaye |first1=Charles |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1f03DANU9_sC |title=Managing High Security Psychiatric Care |last2=Franey |first2=Alan |publisher=Jessica Kingsley |year=1998 |isbn=9781853025815 |pages=31, 40 |access-date=28 October 2012}}</ref>

Alan Franey ran the hospital from 1989 to 1997, having been recommended for the post by his friend [[Jimmy Savile]].

The Special Hospitals Service Authority was abolished in 1996, being replaced by individual [[NHS special health authority|special health authorities]] in each of the high-security hospitals. The Broadmoor Hospital Authority was itself dissolved on 31 March 2001.<ref>National Archives, Office of Public Sector Information.

===Current governance===
On 1 April 2001, [[West London Mental Health (NHS) Trust]] took over the responsibility for the hospital. The trust reports to the [[NHS Executive]] through NHS England London. The former director, who then became the CEO of the trust, quit in 2009 after Healthcare Commission/Care Quality Commission findings of serious failures to ensure patient safety at Broadmoor.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/5865707/Broadmoor-chief-quits-ahead-of-criticisms-in-patient-death-report.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/5865707/Broadmoor-chief-quits-ahead-of-criticisms-in-patient-death-report.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Broadmoor chief quits ahead of criticisms in patient death report |date=20 July 2009 |access-date=2016-08-16}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/8159324.stm |title=Concern over Broadmoor 'failings' |date=2009-07-21 |work=BBC News |access-date=2016-08-16}}</ref> In 2014 the director of specialist and forensic services resigned (and was employed elsewhere in the NHS) just prior to the conclusions of an investigation into a bullying culture.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/andy-weir-bullying-case-nhs-boss-leaves-with-170000-a6734776.html Andy Weir: Bullying case NHS boss leaves with £170,000] Exclusive: Broadmoor chief landed new job before the end of investigation prompted by whistleblower, Paul Gallagher, ''The Independent''</ref> The next permanent CEO retired in 2015 in the wake of poor [[Care Quality Commission]] findings and other problems in the Trust.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/chief-of-nhs-mental-health-trust-that-controls-broadmoor-quits-amid-string-of-controversies-10350245.html |title=Chief of NHS mental health trust that controls Broadmoor leaves post amid string of controversies |last=Gallagher |first=Paul |date=27 June 2015 |newspaper=The Independent |access-date=16 August 2016 }}</ref>

The Paddock Centre was designed to eventually house 72 patients, but never opened more than four of its six 12-bedded wards.

|[[David Copeland]]
|1999
|[[David Copeland|Copeland]] killed three people with homemade nail bombs in London. After his arrest, he was assessed by five psychiatrists at Broadmoor and diagnosed as having paranoid schizophrenia, with one diagnosing a personality disorder, not serious enough to avoid a murder charge. There were no disputes Copeland was mentally unwell; however, it became a matter of contention as to the extent of his illness regarding whether he was able to take responsibility for his actions. Despite pleading guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, this was not accepted by either the prosecution or jury. Upon sentencing for murder, he was transferred to HM Prison Belmarsh.<ref>{{cite web |date=2 July 2000 |title=Nail bomber trapped by fake penpal |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/jul/02/uksecurity.tonythompson |access-date=9 September 2018 |work=The Guardian}}</ref><ref name="sarahhall">Hopkins, Nick and Hall, Sarah.

|Kelly murdered his wife, seventeen days after marrying. The first coroner found him fit to stand trial and he was sentenced to death. However, the superintedent of Broadmoor later examined Kelly and found him insane. He was sentenced to be confined to Broadmoor indefinitely. Later, on 23 January 1888, having fabricated a key, he escaped from Broadmoor and for 39 years, he remained at large. However, on 12 February 1927, Kelly handed himself in to Broadmoor, begging to be re-admitted, stating: "I am very tired and I want to die with my friends". He remained at the hospital and later died of double lobular pneumonia. Kelly is considered a [[Jack the Ripper]] suspect, with this being proposed by later theorists; Kelly's escape was around the time the Ripper murders began.<ref>{{cite web |date=8 November 2008 |title=Broadmoor files could unmask Jack the Ripper |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3407268/Broadmoor-files-could-unmask-Jack-the-Ripper.html |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3407268/Broadmoor-files-could-unmask-Jack-the-Ripper.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |access-date=9 September 2018 |publisher=The Telegraph}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

|[[Graham Young]]
|1962–1971
|Young, a serial killer, was sentenced to detention at Broadmoor under Section 60 of the Mental Health Act to 15-years. At just 14 years old, he poisoned his victims, including his family, lacing their food and drink with thallium and antimony (The [[Poisons Act 1972]] was created to restrict and control the sale of poisons after Young's court case concluded). Soon after his arrival at Broadmoor, a fellow patient died of cyanide poisoning. Whilst he was suspected by some staff and patients (having enjoyed explaining in detail how cyanide could be extracted from laurel leaves, which covered the grounds around Broadmoor),{{sfnp|Emsley|2005|p=347|ps=none}} the patient's death was ruled a suicide.{{sfnp|Holden|1995|p=59|ps=none}} Later, Harpic was found in a nurse's coffee and the contents of a missing packet of sugar soap were located in a tea urn.{{sfnp|Holden|1995|p=64-65|ps=none}}As one of the youngest-ever patients,{{sfnp|Holden|1995|p=54|ps=none}} Young was later released from Broadmoor having been deemed rehabilitated, despite having told a nurse: "When I get out, I'm going to kill one person for every year I've spent in this place."{{sfnp|Holden|1995|p=74|ps=none}} Upon his release, he continued to poison victims, this time his workmates, resulting in two deaths and several critical injuries. He was convicted on two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Young requested to service this in a prison and this was granted. He later died of a heart attack in 1990 at HM Prison Parkhurst, aged 42. With no history of heart disease, it is speculated as to whether he committed suicide or was murdered by prisoners or prison staff who did not feel safe around him.<ref>{{cite web |title=Graham Young |url=https://www.biography.com/people/graham-young-17169708 |access-date=9 September 2018 |publisher=Biography}}</ref><ref>[[Fred Dinenage]]: Murder Casebook: Graham Young - The Teacup Poisoner - [[Pick (TV channel)|Pick]] - [[Sky UK]] - 2011</ref>

In 1946, his partner Maggie Evelyn Brook was living in [[Wimbledon, London|Wimbledon]], and Ley had his house at 5 Beaufort Gardens, London, converted into [[Apartments|flats]]. Ley falsely believed that Brook and a barman called John McMain Mudie were having an affair. Ley persuaded two of his labourers that Mudie was a [[blackmail]]er, and together they tortured and killed him. The case became known as the "Chalk-pit Murder" because Mudie's body was dumped in a [[chalk pit]] on Woldingham Common in [[Surrey]], thirty miles from Ley's home.<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 March 2018 |title=Thomas John Ley: The Chalk-Pit Murderer |url=https://www.swordandscale.com/thomas-john-ley-the-chalk-pit-murderer/ |website=Sword and Scale}}</ref>
