The 70-year-old took part in parole board hearing in his latest bid for freedom.

He describes himself as “just a normal geezer wanting to get on with his life.” He is prone to outbursts of swearing, being rude to people and becoming “loud and belligerent”, a psychologist told the hearing. His testimony was packed full of analogies and anecdotes, delivered in cockney-style patter, including: “I have had more porridge than Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and I’m sick of it. The Ministry of Justice said gambling is against prison rules. – He said he felt remorse for taking art teacher Phil Danielson hostage, but not the governor of Hull prison Adrian Wallace, or three Iraqi inmates he held at Belmarsh. He also has hearing difficulties.

Charles Bronson has been awaiting a decision from the Parole Board since his hearing on March 6 in central London.

After being released in 1987, he ventured into bare knuckle boxing, and changed his name to Charles Bronson after the American actor. His reputation for attacking fellow prisoners as well as staff led to him being moved around different prisons, and he spent long periods of time in solitary confinement. But after once again attacking a fellow inmate, this time with a glass jug, he was moved to Armley Jail in Leeds.

CHARLES Bronson has been DENIED his freedom after the parole board ruled he must stay behind bars.Britain's most notorious lag, 70, launched his eight.

Parole Board decides Bronson, who has spent most of past 48 years behind bars, should not be released.

None of the prison and probation officials who gave evidence at the parole hearing said he was ready to be released. Nor did the panel recommend to the secretary of state that he should be transferred to an open prison.” In a document detailing the decision published on Thursday, the Parole Board said: “After considering the circumstances of his offending, the progress that Mr Salvador has made while in custody and the evidence presented at the hearings, the panel was not satisfied that Mr Salvador was suitable for release.

The movement and categorisation of prisoners are entirely a matter for the Secretary of State, and parole panels will not ordinarily comment on such matters. “However, the panel was mindful of his history of persistent rule breaking and that Mr Salvador sees little wrong with this. Both psychologists instructed by Mr Salvador’s legal representative were unequivocal in their view that he no longer requires secure placement in his current prison." It is unclear whether the strong external controls of custody are mainly responsible or whether his attitudes have genuinely changed. His positive progress has to be assessed in the context of him being held in a highly restrictive environment. He was also denied a transfer to an open prison. “The panel could not be satisfied that Mr Salvador has the skills to manage his risk of future violence until he has been extensively tested outside of his current highly restricted environment. The summary of the Parole Board decision added: “The panel noted that Mr Salvador has spent most of the last 48 years in custody and that much of this time has been in conditions of segregation. In a document detailing the decision published on Thursday, the Parole Board said: “After considering the circumstances of his offending, the progress that Mr Salvador has made while in custody and the evidence presented at the hearings, the panel was not satisfied that Mr Salvador was suitable for release. The Parole also said that it is "unknown" what is containing his risk whether its the controls of custody or "his attitudes have genuinely changed". “The panel accepted that Mr Salvador genuinely wants to progress and that he is motivated to work towards his release. The Parole Board concluded he lacks the "skills to manage his risk of future violence".

The 70-year-old, jailed for armed robbery in 1974, has earned a violent and dangerous reputation.

Bronson told the Parole Board hearing: "Of the 50 years I have been in prison I have probably deserved a good 35 of it. Bronson told the panel he loved a "rumble" and enjoyed mass brawls in prison, but insisted he was now a reformed prisoner, had found solace in art and was a man of "peace". In a document detailing the decision, the Parole Board said: "After considering the circumstances of his offending, the progress that Mr Salvador has made while in custody and the evidence presented at the hearings, the panel was not satisfied that Mr Salvador was suitable for release. "In the particular circumstances of this case the panel observed that there is an identified pathway for Salvador in custody and the evidence supported such a move within a closed prison. "The panel could not be satisfied that Mr Salvador has the skills to manage his risk of future violence until he has been extensively tested outside of his current highly restricted environment. The panel said he had a "history of persistent rule-breaking", "lives his life rigidly by his own rules" and was not suitable for release.

The decision came after one of the UK's longest-serving prisoners took part in one of the country's first public parole hearings.

According to the document, Bronson said he was “terrified of dying in prison”. It is unclear whether the strong external controls of custody are mainly responsible or whether his attitudes have genuinely changed”. But the parole judges were “mindful of his history of persistent rule breaking and that Mr Salvador sees little wrong with this. I can’t believe it”, while George Bamby, who claimed to be the inmate’s son, said: “I would have loved Charlie to have been released but completely respect the decision of the Parole Board.” It thought that there was evidence of improved self-control and better emotional management”. A psychologist told the panel Bronson has post-traumatic stress disorder after facing some “brutal and unacceptable” treatment behind bars.

Bronson is one of UK's longest-serving prisoners and dubbed one of Britain's most violent offenders.

The panel heard how he is locked in his cell for 23 hours a day, and is allowed to leave for just one hour for exercise and other activities due to prison staff shortages. A psychologist told the panel Bronson has post-traumatic stress disorder after facing some “brutal and unacceptable” treatment behind bars. This made him the second inmate in UK legal history to have his case heard in public after rules were changed last year in a bid to remove the secrecy around the process. Since then, the Parole Board has repeatedly refused to direct his release. I’ve had enough of it, I want to go home.” Nor did the panel recommend to the Secretary of State that he should be transferred to an open prison.”

Charles Bronson, one of the UK's longest-serving prisoners, will remain behind bars after being denied release by the Parole Board.

The 70-year-old changed his name in the 1980s as an alias dreamed up when he went into boxing – something he claims he was encouraged to do by notorious east [London](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/london) gangsters Ronnie and Reggie Kray with whom he said he served time. The parole hearing heard the 70-year-old has spent much of his time in prison in solitary confinement. Bronson claimed to be “almost an angel” compared with his old self, and asked jurors to let him out of prison. He said he felt remorse for taking art teacher Phil Danielson hostage, but not the governor of Hull prison Adrian Wallace, or three Iraqi inmates he held at Belmarsh. Bronson has also been involved in many bizarre incidents during his decades years behind bars. He is even launching an exhibition soon, with his work set to go on sale for thousands of pounds. Aged 21 at the time, he was jailed for seven years for robbery, aggravated burglary, assault with intent to rob and possession of a firearm. The prisoner has committed a string of thefts, firearms and violent offences, as well as 11 hostage takings. Bronson has been moved to several different prisons following his violent attacks. He has since spent most of the following 48 years behind bars. He was obviously bright and always good with children. One of three boys, in 2000 his aunt Eileen Parry told the BBC: "As a boy he was a lovely lad.
