Summary
Today, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell take on one of the most infamous men in the British prison system — Charles Bronson. Dubbed “Britain’s most violent prisoner,” Bronson’s life is a story of chaos, crime and controversy.
From brutal rooftop riots to decades spent in solitary confinement, Bronson has become a household name for all the wrong reasons. But who is the man behind the headlines? Is he a monster, a misunderstood figure — or something in between?
In this gripping episode, Molly and Geoffrey cut through the myth to uncover the shocking truth about Bronson’s violent past, his reputation inside prison walls, and why his name still makes headlines today.
