Charles Bronson rings mum to say 'I'm not coming out' after failed bid for freedom

Charles Bronson reportedly rang his mum to tell "I'm not coming out" after his failed parole bid.

Bronson, who previously lived in Ellesmere Port, is one of the UK's longest serving prisoners, having first been sent to Walton Jail, officially known as HMP Liverpool, in 1974. He has since earned the nickname of Britain's most notorious prisoner, having spent nearly 50 years behind bars.

He is currently serving a life sentence for taking prison art teacher Phil Danielson hostage at HMP Hull after he criticised one of his drawings. Earlier this week, Bronson lost his eigth bid to be released and was told he still posed a danger to the public, reports the Mirror.
