Summary

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!

0:18.1	Hey guys, I wanted to say a quick message before we started today's episode. I'm sure some of you are aware about my recent family circumstances. I wanted to say a huge thank you to Ben and producer Dan and Bonsi for running the ship whilst I was gone, giving me much needed time with my family. I also wanted to say a huge thanks to you guys, the ICMAP family, for all the lovely comments and all the messages
0:38.2	of support. I have read through them all and had a good cry. So thank you so much. That did
0:42.3	really mean a lot. Seems to me like during live starkest moments, Sir can really show the kind of

1:34.3	So my past crimes strongly suggest that this is the group most unsullied risk.
1:40.3	Why is this?
1:42.3	I can say that yes, I have been raped and yes, I have been sexually abused by such
1:47.4	people, and consequently I do detest these people enough to have killed them. Are we all not products of
1:53.4	our environment? Do we all not form our opinions, beliefs, etc., from how we perceive that environment?
