I know they stated on the documentary that violence in men aged 70+ drops to almost zero but there must be outlier’s in that statistic.
He was on about living in Devon near his recently discovered son.
Even if he was released he would need a name change and cut off his tache. There will be plenty hard boys wanting to make a name for themselves.
There are indeed valuable lessons to be learnt, but they don't. The lessons never get beyond those which should be learned but never are!And when, after parole, he commits a violent crime the subsequent inquiry will say we have learnt valuable lessons.
The fact that he was inside in the first place suggests that he has never had any idea how to have a civilised lifestyle outside.After 48 years inside he has no idea how to have a civilised lifestyle outside and behaving as he has he should not be let loose on society to pick up the pieces. The old saying once a **** always a **** rings true in this case
I was previously under the impression that life sentence prisoners first of all had to get their Cat. D and then prove themselves under open/ semi open conditions, before they could be considered for parole.

As the hearing opened, Bronson was given 15 minutes to give an opening statement - but replied: "I could fill 15 hours."
He then proceeded to tell the panel: "First of all, it’s no secret I have had more porridge than Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and I’m sick of it. I’ve had enough of it, I want to go home," also dismissing the dossier about him that was handed to the panel as "crap, absolute rubbish".
Shortly after the hearing began, Bronson sipped on a carton of orange juice, then standing up to ask for a tissue and telling the panel: "I haven’t pissed myself".
The inmate proceeded to mutter "f****** hell" when the panel was told submissions on behalf of justice secretary Dominic Raab had been delayed and said: “we will be here all f****** day, won’t we?” amid pauses in proceedings.
Self preservation n'all that...The inmate also said he didn't feel bad about the number of prison protests he staged, stating: “I enjoyed every f****** one of them.” Nine of the protests involved barricading himself onto prison rooftops, causing an estimated £5 million of damage.
“Why would I be ashamed? I’m fighting the penal system that has done humiliating things to me for decades,” he said. "If I was a dog I’d have had the RSPCA on my side.”
