Charles Bronson is the most feared and the most notorious convict in the prison system. Renowned for serial hostage taking and his rooftop sieges, he is a legend in his own lifetime. Yet behind the crime and the craziness, there is a great deal more to Charlie. He is a man of great warmth and humour; a man of great artistic talent who exhibits his drawings around the country; and a man with an overpowering urge not to let the system get him down. «Insanity» is a look into the mind of a true individual – a wild, inspired, single-minded, fascinating man, oppressed not only by the workings of his singular mind, but also by the system that confines him.

For John, my brother.
You fought hard against it,

In 1996, Jock told the Daily Record, ‘We were both in the Parkhurst psychiatric wing. I was doing 22 years for carrying a gun and resisting arrest. Peter Sutcliffe was always swaggering about with his minder, a nutter called Wakefield. So I got my chive and done him when his minder was slopping out. I remember Sutcliffe roaring like a wounded animal.
‘My original diagnosis at Broadmoor was that I was a psychopath. The consultant read this out in court and the newspapers took it up, which was degrading. I felt Sutcliffe was a psycho, but not I. I hadn’t slaughtered all those women. But then I was re-diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic when I admitted hearing voices.’
