The first wife of Britain's most notorious prisoner "can't rest until he's out of prison".
Irene Dunroe, from Barnston, Wirral, still keeps in regular contact with her ex-husband Charles Bronson over the phone and by sending letters to his cell at HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes. Bronson was first locked up for armed robbery in 1974, but during his time inside he has taken hostages in ten prison sieges, attacked at least 20 prison officers and caused £500,000 in damage in rooftop protests.
The 70-year-old, who lived in Ellesmere Port, is currently serving a life sentence for taking prison art teacher Phil Danielson hostage at HMP Hull after he criticised one of his drawings. Bronson has spent more than 45 years behind bars, where he has earned the name of Britain's most violent and notorious prisoner.
