Bronson

Front Cover
John Blake, 2006 - Biography & Autobiography - 351 pages
Charlie Bronson is Britain's most dangerous convict. He talks tough—and he fights harder. During more than a quarter of a century inside, he has gained a fearsome reputation as the prison system's only serial hostage taker. If you're going to come at me, you'd better be prepared to knock me unconscious or kill me. I fear no one. Violence just makes me madder and stronger. Charlie is serving life in prison and has spent most of this time in solitary confinement. He has been locked in dungeons, in iron boxes concreted into the middle of cells and, famously, in a cage like Hannibal Lecter. He has endured more periods of isolation than any other living British prisoner, spending months at a time with nothing more than cockroaches for company. Yet, he is a man of great warmth and humor and despite his reputation, has never killed anyone. Charlie lives by a strong moral code and is respected and admired by many prison officers as well as prisoners.
