London, March 6: U. K. prison officials have blasted a new film, which is based on the life of a violent British criminal.
The U. K.''s Prison Officers'' Association condemned the producers of the film ‘Bronson’ for "glorifying" the life of Charles Bronson, who was jailed for armed robbery in 1974, and has been behind bars ever since because of assaults on fellow inmates and prison guards.
The 56-year-old thug, who is serving time in a Wakefield, Yorkshire prison, has also led an infamous rooftop protest at the jail, as well as taking staff hostage.
The British prison officers are just not happy with the film based on his life, and say that Bronson’s notoriety should not be celebrated.
