Charles Bronson has failed in his bid for freedom after not being granted parole following nearly 50 years behind bars.
Dubbed one of Britain’s most violent offenders, Bronson has spent most of the past 48 years behind bars - apart from two brief periods of freedom during which he reoffended - for a string of thefts, firearms and violent offences, including 11 hostage-takings in nine different sieges.
Victims included governors, doctors, staff and, on one occasion, his own solicitor.
