A British serial killer accused of cannibalism has set the record for the longest time spent in solitary confinement - at over 45 years
Robert Maudsley has lived in a jail cell on his own for 16,400 days - nearly 45 years - because of fears that he could kill anyone he bunked with.
The cell is 5.5 metres by 4.5 metres, which is slightly larger than average. The only furnishings are a compressed cardboard table and chair. Maudsley said it felt like he was "buried alive". "It does not matter to them whether I am mad or bad. They do not know the answer and they do not care just so long as I am kept out of sight and out of mind.
His nephew Gavin Mawdsley told Channel 5’s Evil Behind Bars that his uncle had accepted his fate because he could not control his murderous impulses against sex offenders.“Put him on a wing surrounded by rapists and paedophiles – I know this because he told us – he was going to kill as many paedophiles as he could.“
