title: Mental health. Behind locked doors.
abstract: The maximum-security Broadmoor Hospital is home to around 300 'damaged people'. The hospital has been unequivocally declared unfit for purpose, but plans to demolish it could take until 2014. The average length of stay is five to seven years--so care should be focused in rehabilitation.
