The Parole Board said Bronson would not be freed from prison, nor would he be considered for a move from Category A HMP Woodhill to an open prison, saying he has a tendency to minimise responsibility for his violent behaviour. Now calling himself Charles Salvador, he was first jailed in for seven years for armed robbery but — aside from two brief spells of freedom — has spent most of the past 48 years in prison after repeated hostage-taking and violent outbursts.
