A parole board for notorious prisoner Charles Bronson has heard he has mild symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as a public hearing enters second day.
, now known as Charles Salvador, argued previously on Monday that after nearly half a century in jail, most of it in solitary confinement, he is safe to be released.
The 70-year-old has previously been diagnosed with anti-social personality disorder and is"naturally somewhat suspicious of other people's motives". She believes that he should be moved to a prison with open conditions, to allow him more interaction with other people, adding there would not be an"escape risk".Britain's most notorious prisoner tells parole hearing he 'couldn't stop taking hostages'
"Of course, I'm talking about a highly supportive community environment and I'm talking about a gradual move into a community environment."She emphasised that having found violence cathartic in the past, Bronson now manages his risk through art, breathing and mindfulness techniques.
