He has been held in prison for 45 years due to his extreme danger, locked behind 17 steel doors resembling conditions akin to Hannibal Lecter.
Robert Maudsley, 70, has been held in solitary confinement at Wakefield Prison for the past 45 years due to the extreme danger he poses to other inmates, according to a report by the Manchester Evening News. Originally sentenced for murder, Maudsley went on to kill three more people while incarcerated.
New details about Maudsley's extreme confinement are emerging from the book "Inside Wakefield Prison: Life Behind Bars in the Monster Mansion" by authors Jonathan Levi and Emma French. The book describes conditions mirroring those of the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter, with Maudsley reportedly kept in a specially designed transparent cell.
The writers detail: "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."
