Britain’s most notorious prisoner Charles Bronson has sent an audio message to Sky News saying he is waiting for a date for his public parole hearing, after spending nearly 50 years in jail. Read more here:
The solicitor said later:"The argument is that if he's been able to demonstrate that he's not violent in very high-risk situations in custody towards staff, governors, etc. then the risk falls away if he's released into the public because historically, whilst there was a risk to the public, it's never been as severe as that towards prison staff and governors.
He said he accepted that Bronson may pose some risk to the public, but added:"The Parole Board regularly releases people that have been convicted of murder. The whole process is based on reduction of risk."Bronson was jailed for seven years for armed robbery in 1974. He was given a life sentence with a minimum term of three years and has been turned down for parole ever since.
"For instance," said Mr Kingham,"they want him to play board games with prison warders, something he refuses to do, so he is kept in the close supervision unit as a Category A prisoner and that must influence the Parole Board."
