You'd best never call him by that name or he will break your teeth and hold you hostage and make absurd demands as a joke. According to this monster of a man, Michael Peterson died. Bronson's the name now. Charles Bronson. He holds the title of Britain's most violent prisoner.

He spent his days there in misery, constantly drugged up to calm him down and being forced to sit with the "loonies". He detested the "loony bin" and decided he needed to go back to prison.
