Huge thanks to this week's sponsor: Dead Happy. Use our code MURDER for 3 months FREE life insurance!This week, Tom and Ben explore the chilling case of “The Brain Eater” Robert Maudsley. Maudsley is widely regarded as “Britain’s Most Dangerous Prisoner” and currently holds the record for the most time spent consecutively in solitary confinement. Though, surprisingly, he entered the British prison system having committed only one murder - with many of the public sympathising with him and claiming they he is the true victim. How did Maudsley become “Britain’s Most Dangerous Prisoner”? Was Maudsley’s volatile childhood to blame for his later actions? Did the prison services fail Maudsley or was he able to manipulate the system? Are the rumours of “The Brain Eater” true? And why is Maudsley kept in solitary for 23 hours a day within a custom-built glass prison cell? Tune in and all will be revealed!
