Those high secure units are prisons aswell, they just have a reasonable level of luxury, if you can call it that, that would be comparible to a catagory D prison, that 'ordinary' prisoners would be put in. A lot of people who end up in 'units' never come out and many have been attacked by other inmates. I read the autobiography of Roy Shaw recently, now in his 70's, and who was an east London bare-knuckle boxer, armed robber, gangster, etc. He was put in Broadmoor and aswell as the pool tables and TV room, they have dungeons underneath for those who are uncontrollable. Think Hannibal Lector in the Silence Of The Lambs. He was put in one of those and talked in the book about how you are basically forgotten, he was tied down and pumped full of drugs all the time, he never saw daylight, and said at night you would be kept awake by the constant howling of the insane people in neighbouring dungeon rooms. He eventually got out, but he mentioned in the book something I wasnt aware of, he says there are big graveyards at Rampton and Broadmoor and they have numbers on the headstones rather than names. They are the forgotten, who have been put in one of these places for life, then buried on the site, and they are numbered rather than named. I really think it would be hell to be in one of these asylums and just cos there is a pool table and a nice TV room, whilst you still run the risk of attack from some insane inmate and you have all the other things I have mentioned, does not make the experience any nicer. The TV room, pool table, etc, is only for the less extreme ones anyway. Ending up in the dungeons there, as I have explained, is hell beyond words.
