Charles Bronson: Notorious inmate loses latest bid for freedom (BBC News)

The 70-year-old, jailed for armed robbery in 1974, has earned a violent and dangerous reputation.

Bronson told the Parole Board hearing: "Of the 50 years I have been in prison I have probably deserved a good 35 of it. Bronson told the panel he loved a "rumble" and enjoyed mass brawls in prison, but insisted he was now a reformed prisoner, had found solace in art and was a man of "peace". In a document detailing the decision, the Parole Board said: "After considering the circumstances of his offending, the progress that Mr Salvador has made while in custody and the evidence presented at the hearings, the panel was not satisfied that Mr Salvador was suitable for release. "In the particular circumstances of this case the panel observed that there is an identified pathway for Salvador in custody and the evidence supported such a move within a closed prison. "The panel could not be satisfied that Mr Salvador has the skills to manage his risk of future violence until he has been extensively tested outside of his current highly restricted environment. The panel said he had a "history of persistent rule-breaking", "lives his life rigidly by his own rules" and was not suitable for release.

The decision came after one of the UK's longest-serving prisoners took part in one of the country's first public parole hearings.

According to the document, Bronson said he was “terrified of dying in prison”. It is unclear whether the strong external controls of custody are mainly responsible or whether his attitudes have genuinely changed”. But the parole judges were “mindful of his history of persistent rule breaking and that Mr Salvador sees little wrong with this. I can’t believe it”, while George Bamby, who claimed to be the inmate’s son, said: “I would have loved Charlie to have been released but completely respect the decision of the Parole Board.” It thought that there was evidence of improved self-control and better emotional management”. A psychologist told the panel Bronson has post-traumatic stress disorder after facing some “brutal and unacceptable” treatment behind bars.

In a 43-hour ordeal, Mr Danielson was beaten and stabbed. Well, what happens if a girl talks to you? He says the violent criminal shouldn't be freed from jail yet I'm not a f****** filthy terrorist or a rapist, or a murderer, so who am I dangerous to outside? 'However, the panel was mindful of his history of persistent rule breaking and that Mr Salvador sees little wrong with this. He will be eligible for another parole review in due course.' It is unclear whether the strong external controls of custody are mainly responsible or whether his attitudes have genuinely changed. Afterwards, Bronson's son, George Bamby, said: 'I would have loved Charlie to have been released, but completely respect the decision of the Parole Board.' Who am I a danger to?' Eventually, in 1999, he received a life sentence for kidnapping a prison art teacher. It thought that there was evidence of improved self-control and better emotional management.

The movement and categorisation of prisoners are entirely a matter for the Secretary of State, and parole panels will not ordinarily comment on such matters. “However, the panel was mindful of his history of persistent rule breaking and that Mr Salvador sees little wrong with this. Both psychologists instructed by Mr Salvador’s legal representative were unequivocal in their view that he no longer requires secure placement in his current prison. It is unclear whether the strong external controls of custody are mainly responsible or whether his attitudes have genuinely changed. His positive progress has to be assessed in the context of him being held in a highly restrictive environment. He was also denied a transfer to an open prison. "However in the particular circumstances of this case the panel observed that there is an identified pathway for Salvador in custody and the evidence supported such a move within a closed prison." “The panel could not be satisfied that Mr Salvador has the skills to manage his risk of future violence until he has been extensively tested outside of his current highly restricted environment. In a document detailing the decision published on Thursday, the Parole Board said: “After considering the circumstances of his offending, the progress that Mr Salvador has made while in custody and the evidence presented at the hearings, the panel was not satisfied that Mr Salvador was suitable for release. The Parole also said that it is "unknown" what is containing his risk whether its the controls of custody or "his attitudes have genuinely changed". The summary of the Parole Board decision added: “The panel noted that Mr Salvador has spent most of the last 48 years in custody and that much of this time has been in conditions of segregation. “The panel accepted that Mr Salvador genuinely wants to progress and that he is motivated to work towards his release.

Charles Bronson: What did we learn about notorious prisoner at ... (The Independent)

The 70-year-old took part in parole board hearing in his latest bid for freedom.

He describes himself as “just a normal geezer wanting to get on with his life.” He is prone to outbursts of swearing, being rude to people and becoming “loud and belligerent”, a psychologist told the hearing. His testimony was packed full of analogies and anecdotes, delivered in cockney-style patter, including: “I have had more porridge than Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and I’m sick of it. The Ministry of Justice said gambling is against prison rules. – He said he felt remorse for taking art teacher Phil Danielson hostage, but not the governor of Hull prison Adrian Wallace, or three Iraqi inmates he held at Belmarsh. He also has hearing difficulties.

Despite spending nearly 50 years behind bars, Bronson has been denied release by the Parole Board.

Born Michael Gordon Peterson, he has changed his name three times, most famously to Charles Bronson in 1987. “His use of violence towards staff members has been almost a matter of survival,” said the psychologist. At the hearing, an independent psychologist said Bronson had PTSD from his time in prison and will need support if he is released. As a result he has had his stay in prison repeatedly extended and spent most of his time in solitary confinement. He was originally jailed in 1974 for armed robbery. “If you’ve got any heart, any compassion, give it to my mum and make an old lady’s dream come true.”

Brit gangster Charles Bronson to continue honing gambling skills in prison after failing to convince a parole board to set him free.

It could also be the result of his solitary confinement and his thirst for a good rumble. In addition, he continues to hold a “romanticized” view of violence and has no regard for authority. Despite his assertion that he was now “almost an angel” who was no longer prone to violence, the hearing didn’t go as planned. The incident included physical contact instigated by Bronson, who later claimed he only wanted to “hug” the official, but slipped. He threatened to bite the official’s nose off and gouge out his eyes over a disagreement they had. Bronson, among other reasons, is famous for becoming the first British prisoner to go before a public parole board.

Bronson claimed to be “almost an angel” compared with his old self, and asked jurors to let him out of prison. He said he felt remorse for taking art teacher Phil Danielson hostage, but not the governor of Hull prison Adrian Wallace, or three Iraqi inmates he held at Belmarsh.
