Charles Bronson shares his prison life, discusses violent past and hopes for future at parole hearing
Charles Bronson, dubbed one of Britain’s most violent offenders, is among the UK's longest serving prisoners.
Giving evidence in what is only the second ever parole hearing to be held in public in England and Wales, Bronson held forth on various topics. On the current conditions in prison, he said in the past he has been on wings that were “cold, empty and f****** brutal”, but now things are much more comfortable.
He said that east London gangsters the Krays had got him into boxing, and that he had six fights – five against men and one against a Rottweiler. Describing his criminal history, he said: “Out of the 50 years I’ve been in prison, I have probably deserved a good 35 years of it … but I have been naughty. Not ‘naughty-naughty’, but naughty.”
Bronson told the panel he has spent so much time in solitary confinement he wears dark glasses because his eyes are “blown away with the light”. “You people have got the power to let me out, that’s my mum’s last dream on this planet, to see her son outside, doing well, making an honest living with my art, as you know I’m anti-crime,” he said. “If you’ve got any heart, any compassion, give it to my mum and make an old lady’s dream come true.”
