Bronson, now 68, is renowned for being “Britain’s most notorious and violent prisoner”. The former bare-knuckle boxer, born Michael Peterson, was originally sentenced for petty crimes and robbery in the Seventies, before his term was extended to life imprisonment due to his dangerous behaviour. Public fascination with Bronson remains to this day and some younger fans have emerged after an eponymously named film starring Tom Hardy further-cemented his crimes in history.
