charles bronson aka michael peterson is 55 years old, and has been in jail since he was nineteen, excluding 2 brief spells outside. A sentence this long nowadays would only be reserved for mass murderers, or serial killers, however having never killed a man bronson is neither of these, having being locked up for armed robbery in which not a single shot was fired. His sentence has been continuously extended due to a series of scraps and hostage takings with involving fellow cons and police officers. However these extreme actions are somewhat understandable when you consider what this man has had to suffer whilst behind bars, he has moved from prison to prison more than any other prisoner ever, he has spent his time in solitary confinement with rats for company, he has been refused rights that other prisoners take for granted, he has been framed for rape, assault and robery and has also been literally stabbed in the back whilst in jail. His hard man reputation may alarm some, however here is a man who has intelligence, humour and vast amounts of knowledge and skills which would be a great benefit to any society. Despite this he has beenleft to rot and his talents go to waste, whilst paedophilles and rapists are back on the streets within years of being convicted, and what do they offer society Free Charlie Bronson one of the world's most misunderstood people.

Seeing this groundswell of belief in Charlie makes me feel like the world is finally opening its eyes to the injustice he has lived through for decades. The momentum building here confirms that people refuse to let his story be buried in a cell any longer.

Prison is about reform. Not just punishment. I know. I have worked in one. He has found art and poetry. This man has done his time. Let him go I say! Don't let him die inside. He is getting on in years and is hardly a danger anymore at his age. Everyone deserves a chance. Give him his

This guy has turned his life around and donated a fortune to charities with his art. Served more than his time. Set him free.

What right do the justice board have to keep a person behind bars when he never killed a person, people who rob banks and shops at gunpoint still get out in less time than Charles Bronson. What happened to the prison guards that beat him day in and out were they put behind bars for life? For someone that badly treated by our so called justice system still manages to smile and keep hope of one day being released speaks volumes. The people hiding behind their desks keeping Charles Bronson in prison should be put on trial as to why they have kept him behind bars for this length of time when he has not murdered or raped a single person........

It's ignorant for the sentences to continuously go on and on, it's time to let this man out.
