Charles Bronson who was sentenced to seven years imprisonment for armed robbery in 1974. His sentence has been extended several times for violent behaviour and he was jailed for life earlier in 2000 after taking an education officer at Hull prison hostage. This programme looks at the history of Charles Bronson, considered one of Britain’s most brutal criminals.
In 1974 he was imprisoned for a robbery and sentenced to seven years. While in prison he began making a name for himself as a loose cannon, often fighting convicts and prison guards. These fights added years onto his sentence. Regarded as a problem prisoner, he was moved 120 times throughout Her Majesty’s Prison Service and spent most of that time in solitary confinement. What was originally a seven year term stretched out to a fourteen year sentence that resulted in his first wife, Irene, with whom he had a son, leaving him. He was released on 30 October 1988 but only spent sixty-nine days as a free man before he was arrested again.

First of all, since he hasn’t ever killed anyone, he is definitely NOT Britain’s most dangerous prisoner. Secondly, he was sent in for 7 years for armed robbery, which means he’s just a silly mug who has wasted his whole life.

This man does not deserve a documentary or the title of ‘britain’s hardest man’. He is a punk who can only make it big by hurting people. His original crime wasn’t even one of deadly force. That is 48 minutes of my life wasted.

Charlie is always portrayed as ‘britains hardest man’. well no, I wouldn’t like to be on the receiving end of a smack in the face from him, but then again he would never raise a hand to me. He’s never hurt women or children, raped or murdered, yet he is treated far worse then some of the ‘humans’ that have. Its a complete waste of government money and taxes keeping a nearly 60 year old man in prison, when all he has done for the last 10 years is raise money for charities and draw… welcome to england!
