Episode 152 : Charles Bronson
Manage episode 419029260 series 2953466
Not the actor, but Britain's longest serving prisoner.
Originally sent down for petty crimes and robbery, Charles manages to keep extending his sentence in imaginative and sometimes frightening ways.
Now 71 years old, his story is sometimes amusing, sometimes sad and definitley there is a feeling that although he was a violent man, he never commited a murder, and should be considered for release.
In a time where a man convicted of rape can get himself sent to a womens prison because he now calls himself Shirley (where he will rape again), it does seem a bit harsh to keep an old man locked up for being a bit naughty.
Still, you can make your own mind up by listening now!
