Inside Grendon Apu (BBC Two documentary, 1992)

The Grendon Acute Psychiatric Unit imprisons the most difficult group of "patients' in the country - men convicted of murder, multiple rape, arson and child molesting. Most new inmates arriving at Grendon suffer severe shock when confronted by the open cell doors policy and "kind and caring screws" - but that's part of the treatment.

I myself have been in prison and I've been in an APU similar to this one. It did me a lot of good and I've not been back to prison since. The staff in these places do a great job 👍

As someone who worked in a prison briefly, the interpersonal skills these guys have is amazing.

What an amazing prison officer he is. I didn't catch his name. 'the one that was calming them all down'. You don't get many like that.

These kind of problems are the result of a no hope society created by the privileged few, all of society should have accesss to better education and opportunity, I must though commend the officers in this video they seem to be intelligent,caring,and mature individuals, it’s a major problem but for now the answer has not been found.

Anyone who claims to be depressed by music is beyond hope, help. or any kind of assistance. Beyond hope, beyond help. He's gone, gone beyond the range of any help that a human being can render. This man is dead, way beyond assistance. Throw away the key.

Fantastic documentary. I'm guessing this paved the way for more progressive treatment and care in prison hospitals. Broadmoor and Rampton weren't at this level back then. Did this place model for others?

@theodoremason6344 6 ай бұрын

I think it stands alone as an example of prison reform in the UK. They’re not patients like in the Secure hospitals. It is still going today. There are some pretty good books about it.

I worked in a place like this for 2 years. The potential for assault by patients was ever present. We had to wear alarms and walk on egg shells. It was interesting but utterly exhausting. Constant atmosphere of tension!!!

Good insight. Similar tales from Anarchist Christie about screws violence and abuse in prison by screews. Think he eas inside in 70s. Can't remember his first name, think he passed away but infamous for going to Spain to assassinate Franco.

Their açts are horrendous. But they are mentally ill and have issues you cannot fathom. Of course the community needs to be kept safe from them but they're human beings. I know of alot of very mentally unwell people begging for admissions or their families literally begging for help, which never came and ended badly. We need empathy. These people aren't cold blooded killers, they're incredibly unwell

You just don't understand the horror that severe mental health problems are like to cope with. Let's hope you never experience mental health problems as most people don't cope!!
