The psychologist told the hearing she believes Bronson has suffered from mild PTSD due to 'brutal and unacceptable' treatment in jail.

She said the 70-year old Bronson showed mild symptoms of PTSD following “brutal and unacceptable” treatment in prison. “He found violence cathartic in the past,” the psychologist said. “I believe that Mr Salvador poses less of a risk in a community environment than in a prison environment, and I stand by that assessment,” the psychologist said. He subsequently had prison sentences extended for threats, assaults and hostage taking. “I think now what he does is he tends to weigh up the pros and cons of violence to himself, that is an effective strategy.” A psychologist has told a parole board hearing that notorious criminal Charles Bronson “romanticised” violence and found it “cathartic” in the past, but that he now uses art as an outlet to replace those emotions.

Charles Bronson has spent nearly 50 years behind bars and is making his latest bid for freedom in front of the Parole Board.

He describes himself as “just a normal geezer wanting to get on with his life.” He is prone to outbursts of swearing, being rude to people and becoming “loud and belligerent”, a psychologist told the hearing.

On Monday, Bronson expressed sadness for taking Danielson hostage, but not for violence towards prison governors and officers. “He’s got that real level of dislike for authority figures. Daynes said: “His use of violence towards staff members has been almost a matter of survival,” she said. But she said his mental health had been stable for some years and the trajectory of his offending behaviour had “reduced significantly” since 2012. He frequently rocked his chair backwards and forwards as Daynes gave evidence and looked up at the ceiling. She also said “serious thought” should be given to moving him to open conditions.
