Long-serving prisoner Charles Bronson described his public parole hearing as like "being on The Apprentice." The 70-year-old, who's been behind bars now for almost 50 years, made the outburst on the second day of proceedings.
Only the second-ever inmate in UK legal history to have his case heard in public, Bronson referenced Lord Alan Sugar's hit reality show after an independent psychologist commissioned by the jailbird's legal team said he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of decades spent inside. She added that, as a result, Bronson has 'anti-authority feelings' and is suspicious of other people’s motives.
However, she said she didn't believe he has a paranoid personality disorder. Giving evidence, she said that Bronson's violent actions were exacerbated by being in prison, with him feeling like he’s locked in a battle with the prison authorities.
