Britain's most dangerous prisoner has been given £200 to buy spectacles so he can see the ball when watching the football on TV.
The Prison Service offered Charles Bronson the money after his glasses were damaged in a brawl with two guards at Full Sutton high-security jail.
Bronson, who has attacked at least 50 prison officers over the past three decades, is boasting that he will buy designer frames by Calvin Klein.
He demanded new glasses because he could no longer make out the action while watching Premiership highlights on the BBC's Match of the Day in his cell.
Prison officials, who have spent £500,000 handling rooftop protests by Bronson, agreed.
[...]Since he was jailed for armed robbery in 1974, Bronson has developed a reputation as Britain's most dangerous convict.
During his time in prison, Bronson, a serial hostage-taker, has been involved in at least ten jail sieges.
He is deemed so dangerous that he has been moved 150 times and has spent more than 22 of his 30 years in jail in solitary confinement. He is currently in Wakefield Prison.
Bronson changed his name from Michael Peterson. He passes the time by painting and doing up to 3,000 press-ups a day.
He was given a life sentence in 1999 for holding a prison art teacher hostage for 44 hours because the man criticised some of his sketches.
He was filmed on jail CCTV leading his victim around like a dog with a rope around his neck.
Words cannot describe the sheer stupidity of this decision. However, words can describe how lowlife scum like Charles Bronson should be dealt with. In fact, four words: 'noose', 'gallows', 'long drop'.

It should cost about £750 pounds to deal with his next roof top protest. Well, that's if you go for a scope as well.

It makes me mad to see criminals like that laugh at us. its *Wrong*.
Ha ha. Excellent.
Sadly, I don't think that the prison service or the police are going to take this route. "Please come down, Mr Bronson, sir. There's an iPod in it for you" seems somehow more likely.
It makes me want to weep. Most times i roll my eyes and carry on, but sometimes it gets under the skin. What a perverse country we live in. What a fall from grace!
Do you know, not one hundred years ago, I heard there were large pictures on some classroom walls of such things as Jesus holding the hand of a boy scout, pointing at a map of the empire? Now look at us. Its a national, moral, spiritual disgrace, such a calamity as has never befallen an enlightened people in the modern age. A disgrace!
Come down Bronson or ill shoot you dead, and don't forget to lock your cell on the way in. We'll be with you shortly.
