Charles Bronson who is known as Britain’s most violent prisoner will appear at a live parole hearing in an attempt to regain his freedom

Notorious prisoner Charles Bronson, who has spent nearly 50 years behind bars, will make his latest bid for freedom at a public parole hearing starting today.
The Parole Board review of one of the UK’s longest-serving inmates will decide whether he should remain behind bars or be released.
Dubbed “Britain’s most violent prisoner,” Bronson has been in prison for much of the last 50 years, often spending time in solitary confinement or specialist units.
But he will argue that at 70, he is a reformed character, a “born-again artist,” who is more likely to be found carrying a “sawn-off paintbrush” than a “sawn-off shotgun” now that he is in his dotage.

Members of the public and the press will be able to observe the proceedings today and on Wednesday via a live stream, with Bronson watching from prison.

But the third and final day of the hearing will take place behind closed doors on Friday. Bronson was sent to jail for armed robbery in 1974 but has spent nearly half a century locked up because of violence committed inside prison.

He has held 11 hostages in nine different sieges, with victims including governors, doctors, staff, and, on one occasion, his own solicitor.

Since 2000, he has been sentenced to a discretionary life term with a minimum of four years for taking an art teacher at HMP Hull hostage for 44 hours and threatening to kill him with a makeshift spear.

Since then, the Parole Board has repeatedly refused to direct his release. In a Channel 4 documentary which aired last week, he said he can “smell and taste freedom” ahead of the parole hearing and claimed to want to retire to a caravan on the Devon coast, where he would make money selling his paintings.

Even members of his own family think it is unlikely he will be out any time soon. Bronson was the first prisoner to formally ask for a public hearing after rules changed last year in a bid to remove the secrecy around the parole process.
