Product Description
Charles Arthur Salvador (formerly Charles Ali Ahmed; born Michael Gordon Peterson on December6h 1952), better known as Charles Bronson, is a British criminal who has been referred to in the British press as the “most violent prisoner in Britain” and “Britain’s most notorious prisoner”. He has spent periods detained in the Rampton, Broadmoor and Ashworth high-security psychiatric hospitals.
First arrested as a petty criminal, he was convicted and sentenced in 1974 to seven years’ imprisonment for armed robbery. Additional time was added because of attacks on prisoners and guards. Upon his release in 1987, he began a bare-knuckle boxing career in the East End of London. His promoter thought he needed a more suitable name and suggested he change it to Charles Bronson in 1987, after the American actor. He was returned to prison in 1988 after being convicted of planning another robbery. He is known as a violent inmate, and has taken numerous hostages in the course of confrontations with guards, resulting in his sentence later being changed to life imprisonment. He has been held at times in each of England’s three special psychiatric hospitals.
