Britain’s most notorious prisoner Charles Bronson to remain in jail following public parole hearing

  1. This is bad news for the bookies. They could have taken bets on how many minutes it’d be until he did something to get back, because he didn’t really want to be released.

  2. “Bronson has spent most of the past 48 years behind bars, apart from two brief periods of freedom during which he reoffended, for a string of thefts, firearms and violent offences, including 11 hostage-taking incidents in nine different sieges.

    Victims included governors, doctors, staff and, on one occasion, his own solicitor.”

  3. Drunk drivers, rapists and murderers get released quickly. But a 70 year old man who hasn’t had a fight in years is being kept in until he’s on a zimmer frame just to send a message.

  4. Thing is, he’s the sort of bloke you can sit down with and have a cup of tea with but if you get on his nerves you’ll know about it.

    It’d be about two weeks before some moron would try and get a rise out of him for a laugh and he’d end up back in jail.

  5. He was just born in the wrong era.

    Nowadays he’d have a tik tok career and could be doing celebrity boxing matches

  6. If he had been released it would only have been a week or less before he would have been holding everyone in the local corner shop hostage.

  7. I think he was mostly trying to raise awareness of the fact that he is locked in a box all day long and only gets 90 minutes outside a day.

    Pretty harsh for a guy who’s been in prison for 50 years

  8. Are there any pics of him how he looks now? The media always use pics that make him look crazy from his younger days

  9. Does this mean he’ll die in prison then?

    If so what would he have to lose by escalating his previous behaviour as much as he wants?

  10. Bit harsh they’re not gonna at least trial him in a lower security prison, I agree that you can’t just release him from high security out onto the street but if he wants to prove himself at least give him the chance in a less ‘restrictive environment’ 🤷‍♂️

  11. This guy is the literal embodiment of a villain or psycho that’s used in movies and shows, he’d be back in a week but with a string of crimes behind him.

  12. If he had kept his head down after the initial £5 robbery he’d have been a free man almost 50 years by now.

    But when you continue to commit crimes when released, and continue to commit crimes while in prison, it’s really hard to feel sorry for him.

    It’s literally his own doing as to why he’s been in there so long, and why he’ll continue to be in there forever.

    If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
