Robert Maudsley, 70, who has spent 45 years in solitary confinement, has living conditions that bear a resemblance to the fictional cell of Anthony Hopkins' character in Silence of the Lambs
Dubbed one of the UK's most dangerous men, an infamous serial killer has been confined in a Hannibal Lecter-style glass cage for years.
The authors wrote: "Today, in Wakefield Prison, Maudsley is kept in confinement for twenty-three hours of the day. Everything in his cell is made of cardboard, and you have to go through 17 steel doors to get to it." Pete commented on the grim reality of Maudsley's existence, saying: "The sad thing is, if he were living with someone else, he'd kill somebody else. It'd have been more humane to just put him down."
"They were boxes. As he described it to us, it was all completely see-through, except from the front of the cell: 'You could lift the flap up and look in. If Maudsley "kicked off and assaulted somebody", they would place him in the strongbox "until he'd calmed down". He would sometimes also "ask the SO to go in" if he "felt his head were going".
