Bronson

Michael Peterson is 22 years old when he robs a post office in Little Sutton with a sawn-off shotgun. His haul: nearly £27 and a seven-year prison sentence. Due to various incidents within the prison walls - including guard abuse, kidnappings, and incitement to prison riots - his sentence is continually extended. Of the following 35 years in prison, he spends 30 in solitary confinement. It is here that Peterson's uncompromising personality fully develops. It is here that the troubled teenager Charles Bronson transforms into a living legend: the most violent prisoner in Britain, who is still incarcerated today.
