Life at Ashworth Hospital

[Antonio]

Nick a few quid from a bank and you go to prison for 10 years.

But if you are a Rapists,or a murderer or a paedophile you get sent to a retirement home.

Ashworth Hospital.

Rapists, murderers and paedophile live here - all 228 of the inmates are held under the mental health act.

But inside Ashworth, there are no slamming steel doors. No uniformed guards jangling giant keys. No sinister screams. Because Ashworth is not a prison, but a hospital.

Set in green, open spaces, the buildings have the feel of a retirement village - or even a primary school.
