NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
One of Britain’s most violent criminals will make his latest bid for freedom in early next year.
Charles Bronson, who now uses the name Salvador, will face a public Parole Board hearing after being in prison for much of the last 50 years, often spending time in solitary confinement.
In 1974, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for armed robbery, but he had a series of sentences added to the original term over the years for violent attacks on inmates and leading prison rooftop riots.
Bronson was again sentenced in 2000 to a discretionary life term with a minimum of four years for taking a prison teacher at HMP Hull hostage for 44 hours.
