Overview

• Maudsley was transferred from HMP Wakefield to Whitemoor prison in Cambridgeshire on April 8 after a dispute over cell privileges triggered a five-week hunger strike.
• His nephew Gavin says Maudsley receives only one hour out of his cell each day for yard and basic needs and lacks the TV, books and phone he had at Wakefield.
• The 71-year-old has lodged an appeal against his relocation, seeking to return to the specialist wing where he spent four decades.
• A prison source confirms Maudsley retains personal belongings in his cell, including a telephone, despite the stricter regime.
• Having spent most of his 50-year sentence in near-total isolation after killing multiple inmates and a Broadmoor patient, Maudsley’s case underscores challenges in managing Britain’s most dangerous offenders.
