It is a hospital to which the patients are sentenced, and though enormous effort is made to cure them it is somewhere from which many people hope the patients will never be discharged.
In this edition of Exchanges At The Frontier AC Grayling and an audience of the public go to Broadmoor High Security Psychiatric Hospital to speak to the Clinical Psychiatrist and Forensic Psychotherapist Dr Gwen Adshead.
