Infamous prisoner Charles Bronson hopes to be out by CHRISTMAS, as he rages at parole hearing delay
BRITAIN'S most dangerous prisoner hopes to be out of jail by Christmas as he rages at delays to his parole hearing.
Charles Bronson, 69, was first caged for armed robbery in 1974 but manic sprees of violence and blackmail while inside have kept the lag firmly behind bars.
Now known as Charles Salvador, the notorious inmate, who has battered prison guards to a pulp and taken hostages during his 48 years in jail says the prison system is "sucking away" his life.
In a raging interview, he told he fears his parole hearing to get him out may not take place until December 12 – meaning he could be out at Christmas.
He added: “Every time my jam roll [parole] comes up for the last 30 odd years they start playing games and this is the biggest, cruellest, nastiest game they have ever played - ever.
“I was expecting my jam roll [parole] to be in July or August. It’s now two and a half years late."
