Ian Brady Moors Murders Home and Security. Ashworth Hospital.
December 5, 2007
I found this report on Ashworth Hospital , the home of Ian Brady. It’s worth reading in it’s entirety. It’s chilling and clinical in it’s blandness. A world of functionality and metal…….you can almost smell it. -”In Ashworth we Thrust”. It could be a line from Huxley’s Brave New World.
“Let the punishment fit the crime” , maybe…
” Among those asked to provide solutions was Security Design Associates (SDA), a division of Protec”.- Protec , even the names are like something out of a cheap SiFi film…..”a life for a life “…..but where’s the line drawn from punishment to torture…..’men and monsters’…….
…..and there but for the grace of God.

I can’t articulate in an intelligible way the feeling these sort of reports bring about in me… “chilling” is certainly a word that springs to mind.
Currently I work voluntarily in a psychiatric hospital in Kent, and this kind of tired, emotionless report is, sadly, all too familiar to me.
