this dude cracks me the fuck up. he's considered the most violent prisoner in the britian and actively tries to keep it that way.
some guys in jail take up weightlifting, dominoes, cards, etc. this guy's favorite jail pastime is taking hostages.
this is my fav and features probably the greatest ransom demand ever:
In 1994, while holding a guard hostage at Woodhill Prison, Milton Keynes, he demanded an inflatable doll, a helicopter and a cup of tea as ransom.
another classic:
In 1998, Bronson took two Iraqi hijackers and another inmate hostage at Belmarsh prison in London. He insisted his hostages address him as "General" and told negotiators he would eat one of his victims quickly unless his demands were met. At one stage, Bronson demanded one of the Iraqis hit him "very hard" over the head with a metal tray. When the hostage refused, Bronson slashed his own shoulder six times with a razor blade. He later told staff: "I'm going to start snapping necks - I'm the number-one hostage taker." He demanded a plane to take him to Cuba, two Uzi sub-machine guns, 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and a cup of beans. In court, he said he was "as guilty as Adolf Hitler". He said: "I was on a mission of madness, but now I'm on a mission of peace and all I want to do now is go home and have a pint with my son." Another seven years were added to his sentence.[
you can't make shit like this up.
Bronson has spent a total of just fourty months and nine days out of custody since 1974.
and to sum it all up:
Bronson has served all but four of his years in prison in solitary confinement due to a number of hostage situations, rooftop protests, and repeated attacks on prison staff and on other inmates. His dangerous behaviour has meant that he has spent time in over 120 different prisons, including all three special hospitals: Broadmoor Hospital, Rampton Secure Hospital, and Ashworth Hospital
i'm sure the capn will have a bit to say about this scoundrel.
