	Broadmoor Hospital Authority & Anr -v- R
		Broadmoor is a special hospital provided by the Secretary of State for the Department of Health pursuant to S.4 of The National Health Service Act 1977 as amended.
		Special Hospitals are provided for the detention of persons who in the opinion of the Secretary of State "require treatment under conditions of special security on account of their dangerous, violent or criminal propensities".
		If for example an individual was causing interference with the discipline of a special hospital by writing letters to the patients then notwithstanding the ability of the authority to censor correspondence, in the appropriate situation an injunction against the individual could be granted to reduce the risk of discipline being undermined and treatment interfered with.

		Broadmoor is part of a larger NHS organisation, West London Mental Health NHS Trust, and our apologies for the erroneous description of it as a prison prior to the news at 9 pm yesterday.
		Most patients who come to Broadmoor have a background of major social disadvantage: broken homes, periods in care, significant substance misuse, violent and sexual abuse as they are growing up etc. However, there are patients from stable and well-to-do backgrounds, although these are a minority.
		I suspect the managers of private and public hospitals all around the world have so much on their plate in terms of the basic running of these complex institutions that the thought of introducing a farm to add to their hassle ensures this has a low priority.

		If anyone knows of an ancestor who worked at Broadmoor and would like to know more of his employment there, a letter addressed to me at the hospital will be answered to the best of our ability.

	Report of the Committee on Serious Violent and Sexual Offenders: page 20
		The average stay at Broadmoor is around eight years, although there are some high-profile and/or elderly patients who are likely to remain in the hospital indefinitely.
		Many staff at the State Hospital had been pleased when the maximum length of an interim hospital order had been extended from six months to twelve months, because many individuals can successfully complete their treatment within the first twelve months after sentencing and then be transferred on to prison, if appropriate, to complete their sentence.
		However, it was clearly the view that a hospital direction should not be used for someone whose mental illness was the sole cause of their offending behaviour.
