I got so emotional when the guy said the voices were telling him to stab people as he was making the fruit salad but he didn't listen and finished it.
Research satan in Islam. It explaines a lot.
Codependents biology scans?
Heh, similar thing happened to me. The patient's voices were telling him to hit me in the head with his coffee cup. He was a really nice guy though, I never felt threatened, tbh. But yeah, unmedicated he probably would have been more nervewracking.
That's paranoid schizophrenia!!!
Same tho
You know you're a talented artist when they feel the need to blur out your self-portrait.
Our eyes would not have been able to cope
😂
That guy is an artistic genius. Behaviorally he exhibits traits of a high functioning autistic. I wouldn't be surprised if that is one of his diagnoses.
Yes, as if the other portraits weren't already indicative of his artistic skills. They looked more like photographs than graphite sketches with some charcoal accents.
Ethan Porter plot twist it’s not even blurred that’s his art
I like how they specifically mention that they made sure they had complete consent, and didn’t take advantage of someone’s mental state. Very professional.
They have the capacity to give consent.
@@skycloud4802 Not everyone has the mental capacity to give consent. That's not a fact to debate about.
My mother worked in such a place for 15 years. It changed her into a very cautious, watchful, solitary person. She had to learn to be that way to protect herself and it never left her even decades later. I respect people who can do this work with professionalism and compassion.
I'm so sorry for your mom. Probably she built this all out of necessity. And as it became a habit, she stuck with it for the rest of her life.
But it's not nice to be suspicious of everything and everyone outside of this places. I find it hard to build a sense of belonging and build good friendships when you don't trust anyone else.
@@nikolasmatias9639 you are exactly correct. Thank you for your response. You seem to be a compassionate person. I appreciate you.
God bless your mum for her service to the best of her ability🫡but it’s a shame not many like your mother exist in the system anymore. I hope your mother is well🙏
@@nikolasmatias9639beautifully written 🙌
@@VK.x Thank you. Yes, she is an amazing, strong woman. ☺️
The amount of talent the patients in this hospital have is absolutely astonishing. I loved the one chap's remark, "they are mentally ill, but they are not stupid."
Hatrad100
Yes; it is said that the 'craziest' of us are usually highly intelligent 😉👍
They do say there's a fine line between crazy and genius
Never underestimate the intelligence of these people. It could cost you your life.
madiantin my grandmother used to work in a mental ward. One of her patients, a man who left school with no qualifications and who had severe schizophrenia, managed to take apart a broken typewriter she had on her desk and fix the fault with no training. Another of her patients was a former doctor who’d had a nervous breakdown, and aside from his medical training he spoke 5 languages fluently and was an expert in chess and backgammon.
the fact he had impulses to stab everyone in the room with that knife and carried on making his fruit salad makes me really proud of him- that’s growth and resilience
I think some of these people have attachments that urge them to do these things. And I bet that facility is filled with spirits.
@@jenniferlawrence9473 no they're not. places aren't haunted, people are actually mentally ILL. sickness of the brain is real, ma'am
Sounds like paranoia to me.
@@llalande1527 agreed
@@YesItsMeDes clearly you missed most of the documentary....
I've worked in psychiatric units for many years, what I've come to realise is that nearly everyone I've ever worked with is just a vulnerable child that never got the chance to grow up supported and cared for. Working in mental health is extremely challenging but at the same extremely rewarding when you get the chance to bring at least some positivity to someone who may have never had any in their life up until now.
People like you are working h your weight in gold. It's not an easy job but the facts you have empathy is wondeeful. ❤️

I think while in *some* cases this can be true (and even obvious) that these are sad lonely souls with robbed childhoods etc let’s be real and know this is not always the case. Criminally insane or frankly just insane people have come from stable loving normal middle class or better homes with good parents. We all like to think there is some sort of “quick fix” or preventable answer to the worlds problems but sadly this isn’t always the case.
Just watched this and yep so emotional to see such vulnerable individuals each with their own journey and struggle... Can't imagine the situation and life struggles they all went through...... Bless them all. And it's courageous for you to have been able to work and support people with care
Couldn't agree more
A psychologist once told me "The boy in you will never die" The memories you had as a child, will never go away in your adulthood. Indeed they will haunt you, and hard.
IM SO PROUD OF THE GUY WHO MADE THE FRUIT SALAD AND DIDN'T HURT ANYONE
Lionheart Reborn cracked me up 🤣
Hahaha now that’s progress
welsh logic he is going to carve a swan...... on his chest 🤣
Haven’t even seen this bit yet and I still liked your comment 😂
Harvey uwu Fruit Ninja cured him .
The guy who draws. If he ever picked up a tattoo machine without killing someone he would make BANK. Extremely talented and absolutely stunning work! Id love to see his work in a gallery one day.
Yeah. His artwork is unbelievably amazing. I've seen killer tats, the most awesome tattoos I've seen were the 3D tattoos. This guy could definitely do 3D tattoos & could probably make a living doing it
Just don't give him a hammer......his name is Daniel Bartlam...google him.
Jeff Crocker... Woah, just read about him...
Mehhh.. I guess.. it'd be ok.. sort of.. kinda.. maybe.. not really.. but whatever.
He killed his mother! Stop trying to normalise or sympathise with murders and rapiest because they can draw tfoh
The staff deserve the most credit. To work somewhere like this would be incredibly stressful. To be constantly vigilant for violence would be exhausting. And to see these prisoners as patients would be difficult, as separating what is mental illness from what is the person themselves is very difficult
they are not prisoners. even if they have killed they are not prisoners. They are patients of the NHS, if they respond to treatment and get better they dont then get moved to prison they get let out of hospital and become members of society again. the only ones who dont are those that have moved there from prison. they will move back to prison if they get better.
After 5 years of working with such patients i copy things from their behaviour, i can't sleep well,i swear,i talk louder,i can't concentrate at home because at work i have to be careful to not get hit,my entire health deteriorated because of stress.Tell you the truth maximum for people to work in such enviroment should be 5-10 years.
Yet they pay us poorly 😂
@@Tikvicki100 😞
The guy at 35:30 breaks my heart. He speaks so eloquently and level-headedly about the root causes, about how the systems failed him, about how vulnerable children are ignored while horrific things are done to them, and the response is still in effect to not fully acknowledge the root causes.
I found that part really sad and feel so angry for him. Those beasts were everywhere years ago and nobody did a thing to stop them 🤬 so much damage done to the most vulnerable children in our society and those damaged kids become damaged adults. Absolutely shameful.
These people have one of the toughest jobs and I think they don't get appreciated enough. It must be physically and mentally exhausting. Thank you for your service!
No doubt it is mentally challenging working in this type of environment, but it's the job they have chosen to do so it probably isn't.
@@7th.trumpet I absolutely agree with you, they chose this line of work.
@@7th.trumpet I think died-
Try being careful family member, the work is out of this world.
The abuse they receive, both from their clients and from society as an aftereffect of their job is incredible.
The drawings of the one guy were absolutely stunning.
graham moore thanks. I was reading the comments trying to figure out who he really was. What a waste of talent
@graham moore that's aweful.... I feel like somehow they could have used his art as therapy...and away of advancing him in life.
@graham moore dante? was his name not daniel? maybe daniel bartlam.
graham moore ahhh fair enough, thank you!
graham moore Dante Campbell Plant was black. This patient is definitely white and I believe he is Daniel Bartlam, who killed his mom at 14.
My uncle is in here has been for years. He has wrote his own poetry book and got a law degree while there
That’s great, inmates achievements should be celebrated
What's your uncle's book called?
I had unfortunately been checked into a mental institution last year when I tried to end my life (i've made a lot of progress since then). Most of the patients (besides an old lady who threw something at my head and tried to fight me) were very intelligent, kind and talented. What made my stay bad were the doctors who mocked, ridiculed and laughed at me while I was quite literally dying from poisoning of the body. (the nurses were great).
Im so sorry you experienced this. Xx
You can be totaly healed from what you experienced, i had by God Jesus Christ. I was were you are. Please ask Jesus Christ in to your heart and repent from all of your sins, forgive every person, so God can set you free, and you will be saved and born again of the Spirit of God and become new CREATION in Christ and after you die you will inherit the kingdom of haven. ❤
I'm proud of you man, i hope you're doing better these days
Been through a similar situation. I laid in my own filth for 24-48 hours before the doctors and nurses realised I was suffering from organ failure from my unsuccessful attempt to end my life. I was accused of having a behavioural problem because I wouldn’t get out of bed; when in reality my bodily functions were ceasing & I was close to death due to incompetent staff. I feel you, friend.
@@Jesus_isLord_andGod Did it cross your mind to check if the person have a religion allready, or have a reason to NOT like the jesus version of book religions?
I don’t know why I watch stuff like this.
Neve x lol me too.. idk if it helping me or not.. but whatever
Because it's interesting maybe..?
To broaden your horizon about the human condition, perhaps?
Because it's interesting
Most people ask themselves the same question
It's sick how many times you hear a child say they was abused in the system, you hear it far too often, WTF is going on... the people that should care for them the most are abusing the children. Makes my blood boil every time I hear it.
Hafsa Bibi look up MK ultra. Also look into satanic rituals abuse. Tied to cps also. Kids are purchased also
Hi
If we aren't very watchful, people who want to abuse people will persue jobs/careers/fields which give them that opportunity. The same goes for children. That's why there needs to be a lot of oversight in any position of power over the vulnerable. It's our responsibility as citizens to pursue that goal of oversight and protect the vulnerable.
It is sick indeed. I was victimized by a broken system, so now I cry out against them trying to usher in change. These things need major overhaul, more extensive screenings, and strict oversight. It’s too easy for too many wicked opportunists.
Its normal in UK, cultura, thing
Those poor people. To be at war with your own mind is torture. The staff are so compassionate, it takes special people to work with the mentally ill and I have great respect for those who do it so well.
I am absolutely speechless on those portraits that patient drew. I can’t believe how beautiful that picture of that woman was. He could easily be a famous artist.
As someone who experiences auditory (and visual) hallucinations I sobbed over the man who finished his fruit salad and didn’t hurt other people because I am so proud. It’s such a hard thing to not give into your hallucinations and it just made me so proud to see him achieve that 🥺🥺😭
Me too I wish him well he is really trying
Hopefully as scientists continue to map the brain, a cure can be found for voices. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to ignore the voices.
Same
Hope u stay well!💪❤
@@Tipperary757 scientists don’t need to map the brain in order to do that. It would help if they could learn to listen to people who have dealt with voices and overcome the negative effects associated with them to learn what they are about and what can help. What the so-called scientists and professionals (and all of us) need to learn to do is to *listen* more. We do and say too much without stopping, without thinking, without listening. Ironically we should take a lesson in *listening* from those who *hear* voices that many do not.
“I don’t want anyone to know I work at Broadmoor”.... goes on a publicised documentary about Broadmoor, appears as a worker 🤔
World Of ETC loooolz there can’t be just two of us 🧐🧐🧐
lol i replayed that part to ensure that was his real face.
Clueless at its finest😆
Lol I know I think it was just me
hahaha
I am a doctor and I wish we had such facilities in Africa 💯 Mental health is becoming a real issue lately and we don't have sufficient rehab facilities
I worked on acute psych ward and was a part of a take down team. The only injury I received was a kick to my thigh on a take down. It caused a huge hematoma that took 3 months to heal. The patient came in manic but came up to me and apologized for doing it the next day. In the state he was in I have no idea how he even knew that he did it, much less that it was me he kicked. We were practically piled on him, he was huge and very fit.
What does acute mean?
@hoogstraten4271
Acute in a medical sense means "not likely a permanent state but currently happening" as opposed to "chronic" which is an ongoing problem, usually of lesser severity.
So an acute psych ward handles people that are *in the moment* of having a bad mental episode and may be incoherent, delusional or psychotic at that exact time. They may be stable most other times, but at that moment they are in severe crisis.
I just want to say, wow. This is the most supportive and heart warming comment section I’ve come across in a while...Good on everyone here for treating mental illness with compassion and kindness instead of stigma & moral judgement .
Jesus offers salvation, peace, and hope to all who call on him. If you have heavy burdens, Jesus will carry them for you. No matter the pain and suffering you have been through in life, trust in Jesus for a brighter tomorrow. He will never leave you nor forsake you.

@@ilovebadkitties If you don't believe in God, why are you referring to him?
I guess low IQ people are easily entertained?
I love how they have a dog that visits weekly that they can hang out with! Dogs can provide great therapy just by being there. It’s a sweet gesture to the patients.
I agree 👍👍the dogs are an important and beneficial part in therapy for many of us military veterans.
Msgenxr Empath thank you for your service!! 💞 i’m glad our fluffy friends can help :)
I agree! But not for retards who can’t cut a fruit salad without thinking they should murder everyone in the room. The dogs should not be in contact with weirdos like that.
@@xanaxholywater9869 kind of degrading.
@@xanaxholywater9869 You're disgusting tbh
Was a Porter/Custodian in a place like this
Always tried to clean patients rooms with empathy and compassion.
Always showed respect ( Knocked before entering, please, thank you )
Some people were just curious what I was doing, or just needed someone to chat with...
Of course I was always aware of my surroundings at all times, and kept my tools close.
Taught me to be EXTREMELY grateful for what I have in life.
I'm so proud of the guy that used the sharp knife to cut the fruit and didn't listen to the auditory hallucinations telling him to kill the people in the room. It may not seem like a lot, but it probably took a lot of courage to tell the voices no. Well done. We have to want progress if we want rehabilitation.
Most of the root cause of the cases are child abuse. Heartbreaking and disturbing at the same time. 😔
Yes I have cared for abused children. Wicked horrid crimes are perpetrated on them
N/A th-cam.com/video/c8omryHCn1Y/w-d-xo.html
💔
There’s a new documentary with Gabor Mate called The Wisdom of Trauma which really goes into that and works within prison systems to help men rehabilitate.
Worst child abuse cases I've heard about. And all were involved with the higher politicians, higher cop bosses. Pathetic really
I used to live near here when I was a child and I remembered being so frightened when we heard the sirens going. That meant there was an escape. Our teachers had to walk us home so we would be safe. Memories!
Don’t they sound the sirens every week to test them?
@@robbierotten2975 Yes, and I think there's only been one escape since they were installed - the guy was caught.
Damn....
I don’t blame you.. Peter Sutcliffe, Ronnie Cray, & Sharon Carr!! Yea I’d be scared shitless even as an adult and I heard the sirens 🚨!
@@coffeecrimegal5968 Ronnie Kray was only a dangerous man to those in the game. Most people who knew both of the Kray twins actually liked them.
i have had the pleasure of meeting Lenny, and he is a wonderful man. as a 17 year old girl at the time, he treated me with so much kindness and we just stood and spoke about his artworks for hours. he is a lovely man, and this documentary just shows how misunderstood these people are. thank you for your professionalism.
I had an ex boss that worked in Broadmoor she loved it there. Only left to open up a home for senile dementia patients, as she saw a great need in the community for them.
that one dudes drawings looked like photographs, mad talent
Like a professional artist doing exhibits he’s that good..
Fabulous artwork.. so amazing !!!! And so heartbreaking.. God Bless...
Emphasis on the word “madd”... ijs
He murdered his mom with a claw hammer :0
Sometimes people are held there against their will for their talent and they're exploited, they can even earn billions to medical staff (like certain music composer).
why was every asylum built in the victorian era, the buildings always look so damn creepy!
I love that fact there's so much character in the buildings and love imagining what went on back in them days. I bet some horrible abusive stuff happened to the patients but your right so creepy looking
It’s at an extreme end of the two, psychiatric hospital either look like creepy Victorian buildings or hotels on the outside, I went to one that looked like a beautiful hotel on an amazing set of grounds
It looks creepy because you know what it is and was used for. You wouldn't find it even close to as creepy had you just seen a similar style building without the same connotations. Cognitive biases. Psychology, yo!
@@EffableLemming i disagree wholeheartedly, ALL Victorian buildings look haunted af
Victorian buildings look haunted by today's standards for sure. Back when they were built they probably looked great compared to what was around. When you pass by a Victorian buikding you can't help but imagine what history they hold, what things happen in each of the rooms. We'll never know but I know they carry a lot of scary history. My school was an old building and peolle say that it was a hospital for the people during the war
As someone who is having an absolute plethora of mental health difficulties at present, it scares me to know that if my screws were just the tiniest bit more loose, there aren’t too many steps for me to end up somewhere like this. It’s terrifying( but we receive so, so little mental health treatment as it is. I really hope that whatever anyone reading this is going through, that you make it out the other side. I won’t pretend that it’s easy-it most definitely is not-but if I can make it this far; you can make it at all.
You got this! You can do it!
🫶🏾
It's a good thing that this documentary was made. It dispels many misconceptions about Broadmoor and institutions like it.
Why am I watching this instead of studying
Nala me right now...

i should be study to but this is way more interesting then the history of the light bulb

Really respect the staff who work with these disorders everyday !!
I was just about to post the same thing .. I work in a group home for the disabled .. but not this bad
agree we are very lucky to have them
I was a psychiatric nurse for 12 years but not in High Security.It is incredibly demanding, dangerous and mentally challenging work but 10 times more so in a hospital like Broadmoor! I take my hat off to the nursing staff there,I would never want to work in a High Security Environment!
They work with PEOPLE with disorders, deserving of human rights.
Praw Merld I have bipolar and Supd which is a mental health disorder too. However have also worked in an EMI UNIT. So I have respect and understanding from BOTH sides 🤘🤘
I can see why growing up and surrounded with loving parents is really important to a child's mental health. I'm sad that out there there are children who grew up in an abusive environment and then later on in life the victim becomes the vixtimizer 😢😢😢 I pray for these people and those working in this kind of institution as well.
This psych unit, regardless how dangerous the patients are considered, have so much better circumstances than the regular mental health patients in my country's national MH ward. 😭
Here in the U.S. -- We have proper mental health care for everyone...just not if you're poor lol
Meaning if you're more 'working class'...you'll have to stand in line at some local state run hospital or public health clinic to receive a band-aid or whatever.
@@NeonCicada so that isn’t proper healthcare for everyone…

the way the guy said "fabulous" at 20:57 when talking about wanting to be a drag queen was heartwarming, i know his face is blurred out but you could still tell how happy he was talking about his aspirations and dreams!
I wish the man who did the portraits could create one of Crystal for him. At least he could see her.
That made me laugh. I thought it was really cute. 💜
Yeah! That was sweet
He made me smile and you could sense his pure joy when talking about drag!!! 😍😍😍
I wish they would've let him to be himself. He was really happy
Watching this from the USA and I am literally shook watching the way the nurses and staff were so calm yet ready to fight if needed.
That's probably because a lot of the orderlies in US 'nut houses' are pretty unstable themselves. I've heard a lot of stories about orderlies going totally mental. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
@@Crogatho it happens in both. Gotta remember this is documented.
Marco Vermeer Nut House isn’t what Broadmoor is. We call it a secure psychiatric hospital now.
Soooooooo sad 💙 breaking god bless them give them peace soooo heart breaking hugs to them all they can not help them selfs things happem in their lifes that made them like this. Have grace on them all. Crying tears 100 times over cant watch this soooo sad ! 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
@J DR our nation is MANY times the size of yours so it's no wonder we have more resources and criminals. Not to excuse overuse of the 2nd amendment but you should remember that the US is 40x the size of the UK.
I just want to say how much I respect Mo! He is so compassionate and he treats all of the patients like people❤ Its really wonderful to see.
I lived in a therapeutic community with a young man who had been in Broadmoor .He was a lovely gentle person,but had done something violent when he was very ill
When the nurses and staff come together to discuss what could have been done better/ recollect themselves, it just blew my mind. 41:00 We talk about the toll of being in the facilities, the affects on patients, but this goes to show the people who work in the places are also affected. These people are wonderful humans, they do a job many of us would turn our nose up at.
These types of jobs are a calling.
Briefing and debriefing are the reason military operations are so successful, a lot of safety-centric industries have adopted it over the past decade or so but I've never seen it used in this capacity. It's so simple but really ingenious and engages staff and creates a communicative, positively-evolving environment, and treats mistakes as opportunities for growth and improvement instead of punitive action.
I don't know why I never realized how common sense it seems to have this whole process in place for medical care.
It can be pretty hard to fet folk to be open when leading a debrief session. The mental health nurse mentality is just carry on. We had no debriefs back in the late 80s and a lot more time off with stress due to botteling stuff up
Yes it is, and God bless them, and the poor troubled patients also. Breaks my heart
This is a hard job. Even the workers need debriefing from time to time. The healers will need healing from time to time too.
The man who resisted the voices and continued making the salad - what a legend. Hope he never loses another battle with them
Amennnnnnnnn
Yeah because hope is a famously effect medicament for insanity!
This is so heart breaking, I have dealt with a loved one with mental illness for the past 18 years, and even though everyone's case is different, it is true when they say that although they are perpetrators they are also victims at the same time. Hats off to the staff and I truly hope that things continue to improve for these patients. Such a lot of talent going to waste!
The amazing staff here are heroes. They are doing an amazing job in such an intense and unpredictable work environment. Putting their own lives on the line and getting assaulted often. These people have incredibly compassionate and forgiving hearts. God bless all of the workers taking care of those who are unable to care for themselves!!
I work in a residential home and one of our residents came to us from broadmoor, his rehabilitation has been incredible since the move, goes to show not everyone from this place is a monster
Great news
Dr. Jay, me to, in the states.
i’m so glad they included the eyes of daniel’s self portrait. there was so much emotion in there. i’m really proud of all of these guys and i don’t even know them.
?? Proud of deranged murderers.... Maybe have sympathy for the poor victims who were maimed and murdered
Daniel is an incredible artist, every little detail in his portraits is perfect.
Thank you for the Dr that finally acknowledged that a person can be both a victim & a perpetrator
Child abuse sexually and emotionally is such a sad thing
I am working with children of such tradegy....abuse on so many levels
Kerrie M th-cam.com/video/c8omryHCn1Y/w-d-xo.html
@1814 Mekroimena it's unavoidable for some people. Children have no power to leave in many situations. What we need is better ADULTS in these systems to protect those who can't protect themselves. It's sick how many child molesters and pedophiles go into jobs that give them access to children. Our mental health system needs so much improvement
It is the devils work😫
I believe it is at the root of 95% of all incarcerations.
Wow his artwork is so accurate that they had to blur his self portrait. Such an intelligent and skillful man, it's a pity that he has gone down such a wrong path

@@stillliving5899 I'm 100% fine and I had all my childhood vaccines??
@@stillliving5899 Vaccines do not cause mental health disorders and issues. Mental issues are mostly caused by abuse, genetics or even other things affecting the brain, which a vaccine doesn't do. So quit spreading misinformation, it's harmful to people who are going through mental issues and just misinforms people who try to know more about it.

5yrs ago, still the same in most. My friends mum went in when diagnosed with bipolar & they thought it’s part of the diagnosis process. She did say she saw foul play & not long before she was waking up with bruises. She happened to randomly decline fast, docs laughed off & twisted fam Q’s & claims. She got fed up, used a theatre gown to hang on a toilet door hook. It broke the entire fam, as friends we’ve decided to make sure he’s always at 1 of our family homes & not alone how many years it may take. He’s STILL on a nhs counselling list. Were all saving again to accumulate enough money to get him few private sessions🤞we’ll find a way to ensure his private appointments are on a consistent roll🙏if you have family or friends in any of these places PLEASE believe them if they say they’re being hurt🙏Thank You!
10:11 That is some of the most detailed portraits I've ever seen. It legitimately looks like high quality black and white photos. I really hope he continues drawing when he gets out.
he took his own life at age 27 (this was filmed when he was 24). he k*lled four people.
Am I the only one having a really hard time understanding what most of the patients are saying? They're mumbling a lot, and since they have their faces blurred out as well, I can't even read their lips. I wish videos like these had subtitles.
yup same, especially since I'm not a native speaker. and the auto generated subtitles are pretty inaccurate most of the time. :/
Krystall Vinter they’re medicated
You can turn subtitles on?
@@danielhendry8376 Yes but they're auto-generated, so the accuracy of what anyone is saying is very small, and I remember the subs barely appeared at all when most of the patients were speaking.

@@RosesAndIvy took 2 seconds of googling to find him, its covered internationally on the news, its very well known, very unique crime. if someone wanted to know his name, they could. me sharing it simply saves them literally half a second of using one braincell.
@Mark Shepphard This is not that guy, you don't remember anything about him. This guy was placed in a minimum security rehab, clearly his crimes weren't as serious as murder, especially considering that his family still loves and supports him. Also that guy (Daniel Bartlam) is 22, this guy is 29 (as of this comment, not as of this video).
This place is very special, thank you for giving us a glimpse. The staff are remarkable, dedicated people. The patients have such sad back stories, it’s heart breaking.
19:40 when he was reading his poem, his hands were shaking. He obviously values the opinions of everyone else and wants to do a good job idk I just think this is a stand out moment for me
After watching this, I found I was impressed by how respectful the staff seems to be towards the patients. That has a huge effect

Only on camera
@@p.s.w4744 yes, but a truly abusive facility wouldn’t have even let the cameras in. Places that treat their patients well do exist.
They are on camera to be fair
I was a staff member there and no they don't only do this on camera. Most of the times I was there they had been respectful
My heart goes out to all the patients in Broadmoor. A dark and despairing and loveless child hoods led these people here. Message to parents, if you miss treat and disrespect your children then you may unleash a monster beyond your imagination upon the world. Why are the parents of these patients not locked up for their part in this ! Blessings, peace and love to all at Broadmoor.
So true
Absolutely agree ..these evil biological parents need to sterilized so they cant reproduce and then put in prison camps with extra hard labour.
In all likelihood those parents were abused as children as well. What I really hope is that any children of the people in this ward who may have been abused or cannot see their parent because they’re in this institution get the help they need when they’re young so the cycle doesn’t continue
Not always rejection only. Brain damage.. Generational curses...
They're not patients, they're prisoners by another name.
I'm proud of these interviewed patients. Admitting your faults can be the hardest thing you ever do, but it's the first step in getting help. Healing isn't a straight line, sometimes you backtrack, but the important part is to not give up.
The fact they have to blur the guys self portrait because his art work is so spectacular and accurate is amazing, wow that man has talent, I hope he’s doing okay and he did something with his talents.
Buddy in the red 1952 shirt is trying so hard. I hope he continues to progress.
I would like to share that there was a time in my life where I was completely broken. I didn't know where to turn. I tried crying out to family members and friends, that did not work. I didn't know where go turn. I finally cried out to Jesus, and he heard my cry. When the bible says God is near to the brokenhearted it is very true. I cried out to God in tears, and He eventually turned my sorrow to joy. I thank God for the gift of salvation that He gave me. Now I have a wife and 2 kids that God has blessed me with. Please stick in there and give God a chance to transform your life. Cry out to God no matter how broken you are.
I think I’ve met him on an adolescent ward guy called Ashley
That charcoal portrait of the girl at the 10:20 mark is so good I thought it was an actual photograph! That guy is a Mozart when it comes to drawing portraits.....absolutely phenomenal talent!
You...couldn’t think of an actual artist to compare him to?
Bob Ross
I would love the opportunity to own that portrait.
That moved me Bob. Especially the part at the end with how the staff met together to talk about their feelings after dealing with such extreme behavior. I think I would have break down and cried. It actually brought tears to my eyes to see how these people had to deal with this and then go on from their like nothing happened. Human behavior is so much far more complex than I ever imagined until I got older and started studying it as a life course. This only gave me a deeper understanding of what we're going through as a species. The human condition is beyond my imagination.
Man the staff there are absolutely amazing. They are so professional on so many levels. So much respect. That would be such a difficult job.
My heart goes out to each and evey one of them! My mom is bipolar paranoid schizophrenic and I love her to death. Now She is properly medicated, regularly goes to therapy, and has a loving partner and support system and she is lucky because most people like her would be homeless or in a hospital like this long term.
So glad for your whole family that your mum is getting the help she needs ❤️
Bipolar people are often talented musicians and artists, like that one fellow who was such a gifted artist.Not very unusual at all.
I will pray for your mom. What is her name? Jesus Christ can heal her. Just as he healed my mother who was mentally ill. She wanted to commit suicide. And she was violent. She wanted to kill me as well. No therapy, no psychiatrist was able to heal or treat her. But Jesus Christ did. I am the only Christian in the family. The psychiatrist laughed at me when I told him my mom was demon possessed. I let him laugh. I called a priest. He prayed over my mother through the precious blood Jesus. Now she is healed. And FREE. If you do this, your mother will be healed. God is real. And he loves you. And he loves your mother.
@Violet Heavensbee The difference is that if you have bipolar and schizophrenia, it's called "shizo-affective" disorder. This diagnoses has to treat schizophrenia and Bi-Polar. Both illnesses are true at the same time.
@@AG-wb3db than why hasn't he healed covid victims? Why doesn't he heal all the sick children dying of cancer?
The guy who got dropped off by his mom at 9 breaks my heart. I just don't understand at all how someone could give up on their kid at such a young age. Or at all really. He deserved better.
@Jahleel and I am sure that being abandoned by the one person who is supposed to keep you safe, and then getting abused at a pretty young age totally didn't contribute to his mental issues at all.
Picket Pants but to be honest it depends on the person I been through tougher lifestyle we coming from dysfunctional family until now I’m dealing with bad relationships just like my mother did but I said I rather be humble and be aware of my wellbeing i cannot hurt anyone for my own issues it not ppl fault it my own parents let me go through that life, I just dealt with anxiety but I overcome i didn’t want let destroy my life and I’m fearing for my kids that no one can take of them more then me because of my childhood experience I don’t trust ppl.
@@Lady_Crispr you lack empathy
They have their reasons
@@itallaboutme773 I'm so sorry you went through that. 😢 No child should ever have to go through that.
OMG That artwork was brilliant, just unbelievable that someone so gifted ended up in Broadmoor!
Greatest respect for the incredible job the staff do!
Heartbreaking & emotionally draining to view.
Spectacular art work!
it's crazy to see how talented that young man was when he channeled the emotion into his artwork rather than his actions, there's a real bright soul inside there somewhere it's in plain view
I died in heart
You probably know that a lot of people with mental illness are extremely bright .
That “bright soul” murdered his innocent sister. Talent doesn’t describe one’s character.
Pity he didn't take that art route, rather than the murderous one. Completely mentally unhinged.
Imagine the experimentation that went on in that place even 50 years ago
Scary thought 😞
@graham moore
Your right I've heard many stories about that. Ugh... just thinking about it. It infuriates me and makes my skin crawl at the same time.
graham moore
and now they, same trybē of people, put kids on hormone blockers and remove their gēnītaIs at 13
Fixed Face stop trying to bring transgender kids into this. hormone blockers have no negative effect.
theo taylor
“stopping puberty has no negative effects”
looks like they put you on an IQ blocker
God Bless the men & women who work with these inmate patients. The attitude & stance of the staff shown is well organized & compassionate toward these men. Amazing really.
The man who tells the story of what happened to him in care homes and how no one even the counselor he saw stuck up for him just breaks my heart. He seems very aware of the help he needs and i pray he continues to get it. So many people have mental issues because of their trauma. 😢
Lowkey disappointed that the interviewer isn't the black dude with the calm voice from the other prison documentaries, but still enjoyed it :)
Trevor macdonald! The man is absolutely riveting to listen to/watch, i know!!
High key lol
This guys voice is pretty calm, no? Trevor MacDonald is on another level though. Very chill. I used to watch the ten O'Clock news just to hear him talk.
@@AnthonyMonaghan same 😂😂
@@esotericintrovert1669 Cool sister (or brother, you never know these days ha ha).
"Daniel" is one cracking artist. I hope he gets recognition for this.
graham moore that isn’t him, that guy died in 2007
His name was Jack but he changed it to Dante. He killed his sister and tried to kill his family when he was 14 while dressed up as a guy from the matrix . Dante Campbell Plant is his name. He killed himself in his cell.
Daniel is so very talented . So sad he has passed away. Such a waste of talent.
www.bracknellnews.co.uk/news/15046733.broadmoor-hospital-patient-dante-plant-died-at-frimley-park-hospital-on-april-1-2015/
His name is Daniel Bartlam. search him up at your own risk
I take my hat off to the dedicated and diligent staff who have to deal with some of the patients. They deserve a badge of honour for their courage and efforts.
The drawings of the second man are absolutely wonderful such an amazing talent for art
Could they have a garden? Then they could grow their own healthy food (at least some). That could help a tad with the obesity...?
I feel like also with the mind too as they seem to be eating a lot of junk which is never good for the brain let alone a brain that struggles
the medication they are on puts weight on them, a bad side effect of psych drugs, but your right healthy living would help
Des Des I went on a psych med for depression after my husband died. I gained 20 lbs in a month
Exercise would not only help with the weight but with your mental health.
Des Des they do have garden and grow their healthy food I work in psychiatric hospital
SOMEONE GET THAT MAN A LONG FABULOUS WIG RIGHT NOW
I KNOW RIGHT!?
*Give Crystal a wig ASAP!*
👱💅💄👑
Right?! 👏👱♀️💅👠📿💄👛 He made me smile. 😁
Yes, Yes!!!!!
Absolutely !
The way he lit up when he talked about Crystal broke my heart that he can't have that. I wish the artist would create a portrait of Crystal for him.
WOW! That chaps art-work is phenomenal! Top tier stuff - would love to see him make a success out of it, his work is incredible!
The fact he knows what he is... that means he's sane... and our laws are just that stupid.
There was so much joy in his voice when he said Crystal was "just FABULOUS!"
And then the pride in the voice of the man making the fruit salad when he talked about ignoring the voices... the magnitude of talent in the sketches...
I wish there were better options for these men. I can't imagine living like this. My heart breaks for their lost possibilities.
This documentary only fuels my desire to work with and care for people on psyche wards. They have a mental illness and they should be treated and cared for.
Good luck! You're a special person
Absolutely, but we also need as a general society to respect the industry and the people. Too often people don't get the help they need. Even when the staff want to help, the facilities often don't get the funding they need.
That one guys portraits are absolutely amazing. He could make serious money if they could get his psychosis under control.
“BLONDE and FABULOUS” melted my heart 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I don't know what they pay those nurses and staff, but I am sure it is nowhere NEAR enough.
I'm an American. Over here, each of these people would likely be tossed into one of our horrendous jails, with no treatment, no protections, and no future. It's amazing to see them encouraged to explore their (in some cases phenomenal) talents, given access to varied therapies and experiences, and really urged to improve their lives, instead of being given a life sentence with no options but despair and death. While it may be many awful things to the British, if you compare American prisons and our mental health system, you'll see that Broadmoor does, in fact, give these men at least a chance at some day having a life outside of its walls. That is more than they'd get over here, and I wish them all, especially the ^^dedicated staff^^, the very best.
You're 100% correct.... Ppl are treated far more humane in the UK generally speaking compared to the US..
I did not realize this and it is good to know
I could not say it better. We need this in the u.s.
@@Candlewick14
Ignorance is a toxin.
So true. We suck at mental health care and treatment. I live near two of the largest psychiatric hospitals in the world and they're both closed and abandoned with the exception of some group homes and rehabs. Here, the MH population is either homeless and unmedicated on the streets, or in a regular prison. It's a damn shame.
God bless these people who work with these patients🙏🙏 It is extremely mentally & physically challenging to work with this population.
Makes me feel so deeply sad watching these documentaries. I've watched two on Broadmoor tonight. It's just sad to see human beings so tormented in their minds. I pray for their souls that healing will come. 🙏
I wish technology could understand British people so I could read these subtitles
Same
What ? The subtitles are there and are readable.
@@pet.me102 english isn't my first language and i speak in an indian accent so yes it is hard to understand
@@pet.me102 Good for you, but other people are clearly having trouble with discerning words. I typically don't have much of an issue with that kind of thing and I also found many moments this video particularly hard to parse. ...........Also some people have auditory processing issues or hearing loss, don't be inconsiderate.
It wasn't an issue until I read ur comment
The one guy is so talented. It like looking at real magazine pic.
Shame he beat his mum to death with a hammer for no reason.
Many talented and creative people have a thin hold on sanity...don't know why, but they do.
How did the artist guy die in 2017 wen this was made in 2018
@graham moore It is not Daniel Gonzalez (died in 2007, doc aired 2013/14) or Daniel Bartlam (too young to be in Broadmoor when this was filmed).
@@mjh7236 so who is it?
There are talented artists...and there is this guy. He gives the words 'talented artist' a WHOLE new meaning.
I used to work in a psych hospital. These documentaries don’t show the public anything. I’ve also been a patient in these facilities as well. Can’t speak for the UK, but the US treats its severely mentally ill about as well as they do it’s criminally incarcerated population. 💔 That being said, some of the best people I have ever met are among the staff working in these institutions; some of the most talented are among the clientele.
I swear in every prison documentary all I hear is *these are the most dangerous prisoners in the world/country*
True dat
IKR🙄🤣
Well you consider how many ppl there are in the world.. then realize the most dangerous ppl DNT get caught and may be typing this thread now
@@caintgitriteexp9342 doubt one of the most dangerous people are called 'caint git rite exp'
@@sloth-gaming lol it's a company,you idiot,but thanks.
Excellent! This is a nice window into what the place is like...though, all we get to see is a relatively calm part of it.
I just read about a boy who killed his mother in 1895--he was at Broadmoor until, I think, 1912. He moved to Australia, and became a stretcher bearer in WWI, then, years later, took in a kid who'd been abused and kicked out by his step-father--basically, going from being considered a monster to being a hero. That's what made me want to watch this documentary--I was curious about what the place is now like.
thank you its great to see them coming on and good on the ones that take time caring for them bless them all
9:50 this guy is so talented!! I really hope he gets better and people can see his amazing talent. Sad that he's where he is right now but I sincerely hope everyone that passes through gets better
Totally agree that guy is very talented i hope he continues to get the help that he needs
He won't be released not after what he did to his family but there has been a few famous artists working and living in broadmoor. And I really hope people like peter Sutcliffe never get out
Oh and before you ask her killed his mother with a hammer but before doing it he wrote a soap opera about doing it
Extremely talented
I'm pretty sure it's Daniel bartlam.
