Charles Bronson

Our reporter Dan Warburton is at the hearing today where Charles Bronson, one of the UK's longest-serving prisoners, has already made multiple outbursts.

She added: "He wants to go and live a quiet life and concentrate on his artwork. He told the panel of his previous crimes: “Am I sorry? He told the panel: “Give a man a break. Bronson said: “Today I’m an artist, a born-again artist, and that’s down to him. Charlie is used to solitary time, he doesn't enjoy it but he copes well. But on a day-to-day basis his interactions with staff and prisoners are good." I’ve had enough of it, I want to go home.” When she told me this, I said to her straight away, 'That would make a beautiful title of a book'. I just enjoyed the excitement.” They went on: “The risk of violence is untested in lots of ways. Since then, the Parole Board has repeatedly refused to direct his release. The hearing was punctuated with Bronson's outbursts and sighs.

One of UK's longest serving and most notorious prisoners says he is now a 'man of peace'

He characterised much of his violence within bars as a protest against conditions within the prison system, describing himself as “a retired prison activist”. Before he gave evidence he could be seen rocking his chair backwards and forwards, sometimes appearing to stare at the ceiling, He was wearing dark glasses, which he said were not for “sinister reasons” but because repeated solitary confinement – 40 years, he said – had made his eyes sensitive to light. She said he had made progress but feared he would not cope if moved from his current close supervision centre for eight people into the community or even to a large prison wing. His prison offender manager said since she took over Bronson’s case he had made documented threats against prison staff but never resorted to violence. He questioned its relevance given the time that has elapsed but later said he was sad for Danielson and would like to meet him. Bronson said he spends 23 hours a day in his cell, a large part of it doing art, which he says has raised thousands of pounds for charity.

Tom Hardy depicted Charles Bronson in the 2008 movie 'Bronson', directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, the same mind behind 'Drive' with Ryan Gosling.

Such conversations gave Hardy the necessary insight to get under the skin of the character and deliver one of his finest leading performances to date. This was helped by the impressive physical stature Hardy developed to play the real-life convict, with Charles Bronson being so impressed by the actor after several phone calls and meetings that he even shaved off his moustache so that Hardy could use it in the film. As the title character in Winding Refn’s Bronson, Hardy embodied the infamous British criminal known to be one of the most violent and eccentric of all time. Deciding to break the ice a little before delving into deep subject matter, Hardy told the infamous figure: “I said ‘I’m just not comfortable, I’m saying goodbye to someone that I really loved. Whilst preparing for the role, Hardy sat down for several conversations with Bronson in order to gain an understanding of his complicated mindset. Whilst contemporary audiences might recognise him from his turn as Venom in the recent Marvel movies, he started out with far more humble beginnings, making a name for himself in HBOs Band of Brothers, Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down and as Charles Bronson in Nicolas Winding Refn’s biopic.
