Shaw, who claimed he "simply hates the system", and that the "system could never beat him", was moved between different prisons and spent time at Broadmoor Hospital. According to Shaw's autobiography, Pretty Boy (1999), "uncontrollable prisoners, were deliberately drugged up with the aim of turning them into permanent 'cabbages'". At Broadmoor, Shaw underwent experimental electroconvulsive therapy in an attempt to control his temper. His doctor claimed that Shaw had at first come across as a large and intimidating yet soft-spoken gentleman, but when faced with treatment he didn't want, Shaw became "the most powerful and dangerous man I have ever tried to treat". The doctor reported the treatments as having been a complete failure, and only served to make Shaw even more aggressive and unpredictable. A passage from the book reads: "Roy bashed up one of the twins' so-called big minders and word on the street in the East End was there was going to be serious repercussions because the twins seen this as Roy “mugging them off” and they couldn’t be seen to let it go." Gerard wasn’t sufficiently careful. He knew all that week that he was being followed, mistakenly thinking that it was by undercover police. Clarkson, Wensley (2005).

Thai Boxer just kept taking out the boxer's legs until he could barely stand. Another difference in fighting styles and a flaw in boxing. Shaw claims to have had ten fights in his twenties using the alias "Roy West". However information on these has proven difficult to trace. His early boxing career was cut short when he was incarcerated. Christina now lives alone in their flat, the entrance to which Tommy never managed to finish carpeting. She speaks delicately of the man who was broken by his son's death and who hated his past. 'Tommy was trying to avoid old places and people he knew,' she recalls. 'It all hurt him. We bumped into an old friend one afternoon. He simply said: "Hello, how are you, Tommy?" As we walked away, I could see he was drenched in sweat.'

After jobs ranging from laying asphalt to dealing in antiques (his best friend for several years was the antiques dealer John Hobbs), [5] Bindon pursued a career in acting. A 31-year-old man was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning and released after questioning. He has been bailed to return at an unspecified date in January.After Roy's family had discovered what had happened due to questions being raised by Roy's bank calling his daughter Chettina, who had his power of attorney, because there was further very large transfer sums of money being requested for transfer, they took her to court. Lindsay Finnimore made claims to being his girlfriend and in a bid to have access to his assets made claims to being his common law wife. Roy said that he believed she was very intelligent and helping him but didn't find her attractive or girlfriend material. It continues: "Although the Kray Twins were an extremely powerful mob, theye werem't the top firm in London at the time and whether or not they had been Roy Shaw didn't give a f*** about anyone anyway."
