About this work

Description

With the participation of consultant psychiatrists Dr. Martin Deahl, Dr. Mark Salter (Homerton Hospital, London) and Prof. Jeremy Coid (Consultant forensic psychiatrist, London) this documentary reveals the depressing facts of patients who are never mentally ill enough to be permanently incarcerated - unless they actually commit a serious crime such as murder. The policy of care in the community often lets down patients who need constant supervision but become victims of the NHS's revolving doors.
