OK people, this is NOT Charlie Bronson here. Unfortunately, Chaz doesn't have access to the internet from his solitary cell in HMP Wakefield. I'm Mark Emmins; I run Charlie's website and am deeply involved in the campaign to get him out of prison. I have stepped in from our friend Mal who has moved on to other projectsCharlie writes to me three times a week and phones me at least once a week and I keep him informed of what's going on (along with a lot of other people concerned about his welfare and struggle for freedom). I visit him when I can ... although Wakefield is a long way from Devon, where I live.
So, Let's start with some of the facts about Charles Bronson:
-
Born Michael Peterson, his name was changed by his fight
promoter in 1987. It had nothing to do with the actor
Charles Bronson's film "Death Wish" as is usually
reported in the newspapers.
He is now 54 years of age.
He has NEVER killed anyone!
He has now spent 32 years in prison, 28 of those years
have been spent in solitary confinement.
He has been subject to both physical and psychological
brutality throughout his incarceration.
He was originally sentenced to 7 years in 1974 for armed robbery - a robbery
in which no one was hurt.
He was released on 30 October 1988 and spent 68 days as a free man.
Released again on 9 November 1992 and spent 53 days as a free man.
In 2000 he was sentenced to LIFE with a three year tariff
for holding a teacher hostage for 44 hours - a teacher who
was not physically harmed by Charlie.
He has shown no sign of violence for the past five years.
