CAGED Charles Bronson has lost his most dangerous prisoner label after being downgraded to a mere medium risk.
The 69-year-old, who has spent most of his life behind bars, is said to have renounced violence.
He completed a course aimed at controlling his rages, which have repeatedly got him into trouble.
Now held at HMP Woodhill, Bucks, he has been stripped of his very high risk status.
His son, George Bamby, says it is a first step on the road to freedom for Bronson, now known as Charles Salvador.
George said: “It’s a great feather in his cap at his parole hearing, which is due to take place soon.”
Bronson was first jailed for armed robbery in 1974 and has convictions for violence and blackmail.
