Charles Bronson has made a list of things he will do if he is ever released from prison. He is hoping the parole board will look beyond his past of being violent and taking hostages.
At 71 years old, Britain’s most famous prisoner, who was born Michael Gordon Peterson, has been in prison and mental hospitals for over 50 years for crimes like robbery, blackmail, and false imprisonment.
In a recent interview with MailOnline, he said that if he ever gets out of prison, he wants to walk on grass without shoes and find a forest to hug a tree.
After he asked to be moved from HMP Woodhill to a different prison and was told no, Bronson says he felt really upset.
He told the paper that it had been over 30 years since he last walked barefoot on grass. I want to go to a small diner and get a really big breakfast.
I want to go to the woods and give a tree a hug. Find joy in the small things of life. Visit a store that sells fish and chips and ask for some. Sit on a bench and eat while watching everything around you.
He said: “My dreams are very simple and easy. ” I just want to be left alone to make my art in peace.
Currently, Bronson spends most of his time in his cell. However, he is hopeful that the Parole Board will change their decision when he meets with them again in 2025.
He said: “I think they will agree to let me go. ” They need to let me go.
I was really upset about my last chance to be released from prison. I had done better than that. I worked hard for six years and it was really heartbreaking to end up with nothing.
Bronson was arrested in 1974 for armed robbery. He was also convicted of wounding in 1975, 1978, and 1985.
