I'm not talking about us.I'm talking about psychiatrists whose job it is is to assess whether or not a patient is either suffering from psychopathy or not ? and who is or isn't a danger to his fellow inmates or the general public. This is their flipping job,not ours.

Find me two doctors/psychiatrists who do agree. You get the forgiving type who believes in giving second chances so will overlook some behaviours, then there's the type who thinks differently. We don't live in a perfect world, Lookout and whilst much of what you say is about your frustration that Jeremy isn't free, MOST of us, out of a sense of justice having been done and a desire to feel safe in our own homes, want the convicted to remain where they are unless there is irrefutable proof of their innocence.

I thought he got moved to Broadmoor because he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 1984 There is treatment for this condition?  Maybe the treatment has worked plus it will save us a lot of money.

Maggie has said the condition diminishes with age., however we're not talking about his release, only a return to prison.

that's true Jane, plus It costs taxpayers more than £300,000 a year to detain him in Broadmoor, at least five times the cost of a prison cell and he loses a lot of privileges as well.

Prisoners aren't assessed for psychopathy unless it is requested. People are locked up because they are a danger to the public but unless someone asks for protection inside prison, they are all lumped in together. Jeremy was given CAT A status and as such, he is considered a great risk to the public.

[lookout]

I don't think he'll be moved after this latest debacle over his sanity.

Yes he was Justice. I don't think he should ever get out - he murdered something like 12 people? However, he is thought to be responsible for attacking quite a few more. I know he must be pretty old by now but you can't be too careful.

In-depth study of lie-detectors.

Then you need to check your source material because it's wrong.

I've been saying you can't trust psychiatrists.

No treatment, justice just medication but many schizophrenics ;burn out' as they age.  I imagine Peter Sutcliffe comes under this heading

Thanks for that Maggie and Caroline.

None of us have any proof at all that he is a physopath.

Surely if he has been incarcerated for 30 years the authorities would know if he is or isnt so im going with thier view that he isnt.

I'm sure the prison officers would have seen something untowards if there'd have been a hint of insanity.

Why would they care? It isn't going to make an iota of difference to them, one way or another!! He's a CatA prisoner and providing he doesn't prove a danger to other "residents" or staff, the status quo is maintained.

Could be worth watching:- "Meet The Psychopaths" Tuesday 9pm Channel 5.

Why would they know? Don't you think if guilty, someone who could kill his family in such a manner simply to inherit and feel no remorse - HAS to be a psychopath?
