70-year-old Bronson, from Luton, has earned a reputation as a violent and dangerous inmate and is one of the UK’s longest-serving prisoners. He was jailed for armed robbery in 1974 at the age of 22 and has spent most of the past 48 years behind bars for a string of thefts, firearms and violent offences, including 11 hostage-taking incidents in nine different sieges.
Bronson’s parole hearing was one of the first public parole hearings held in the UK.
