Twisted Sutcliffe – who bloodily butchered 13 women in Yorkshire and Greater Manchester during the 70's and 80's – has been in Broadmoor prison since 1981.

Despite his horrifying crimes being committed over 30 years ago, sick Sutcliffe still receives fan mail.

But due to his deteriorating vision, Sutcliffe has been given a magnifying glass to help him writing his letters.

He has also bragged to fellow lags that the piece of kit will help him carry on watching his favourite shows.

According to the Mirror, the crazed Ripper told an inmate: "It is really handy for me and is a great help with reading my correspondence.

"However it is not so great for writing, which I am really struggling with.

"It was kind of them here to help me out with this – a lovely gesture.

"But I do fear for my sight and don"t know what I will do if I go completely blind.”

Mass murderer Sutcliffe from Bradford, has suffered from diabetes for number of years.

The effect of the condition has worsened his eyesight.

Families of his victims were horrified when he was let out on day release – WITHOUT being handcuffed.

He had been going to a hospital in Surrey to receive treatment for his eyes on the NHS.

But Sutcliffe is thought to not want further treatment due to fears laser surgery could leave him permanently blind.

He reportedly told a jail mate : "My eyesight is getting worse and I find it increasingly difficult to focus on paper as I read and write.

"I used to be able to read signs and stuff around the hospital but I can"t read some of them any more.

"Things don"t look good and I don"t know what I"d do if I couldn"t keep up with my letters and watch TV.”
