Beechwood was described by witnesses as \"intimidating\", \"like a prison\", \"a horrible place\" and having a \"really toxic mix\" of people. It was considered \"appalling and squalid\" by staff and \"atrocious\" by a psychologist. A judge later called it \"a home from hell\"."@en . . . . . . . . . . .
