Autor

Charlie Bronson (now Salvador) was born Michael Peterson in Luton in 1952 and was first imprisoned, for armed robbery, in 1974. Subsequent sentences for other crimes followed, but he enjoyed brief spells of freedom in 1987 and 1992 before being returned to prison for conspiracy to rob. In 2000 he was given a life sentence for false imprisonment. Now in his fourth decade in prison, with over two-thirds of his time spent in solitary confinement, Charlie has spent time in almost every prison in the UK as well as all three maximum-security hospitals, Broadmoor, Rampton and Ashworth - and has survived them all. He has published seventeen books including autobiographies, two art books and a collection of poetry, as well as his bestselling Solitary Fitness. He has won multiple Koestler Awards (including 6 gold awards) for his art, poetry and sculpture, and his art has been displayed around the world, raising thousands of pounds for charities and needy individuals. In 2008 his life story was filmed as Bronson, with Tom Hardy in the title role. Today, Charlie is anti-drugs, anti-crime and anti-violence. In 2014, he changed his surname by deed poll to Salvador. In 2023, Charlie had one of the first public parole hearings in the UK. He continues to fight for his long overdue freedom and ultimate dream to create his artwork in his own cottage in the countryside.
