Murderabilia Charles Bronson Original Drawing. The Birdman's attributed to Front to Alix and on reverse - For little Alix (Ed's pals Girl) and signed again by Bronson Size 24.8 x 20.2cm (Ed was Eddie Clinton ex-cell mate of Charles Bronson). Charles Arthur Salvador, formerly Charles Ali Ahmed, born Michael Gordon Peterson on 6 December 1952, better known by his professional name of Charles Bronson, is a British criminal, with a violent and notorious life as a prisoner. He has spent periods detained in the Rampton, Broadmoor, and Ashworth high-security psychiatric hospitals. Statement from Eddie to the independent Newspaper Eddie Clinton, a Leeds clothes-dealer, went to see his old cell-mate Charlie Bronson in it. "It's a cell within a cell," he explains, "all the furniture is made from pressed cardboard, and the bed is bolted to the floor. The outside cell door is standard and inside there's a wrought-iron barred gate and in between there's Perspex and mesh. At the bottom of the door is a letter-box thing and that's how Charlie gets his food. There's no human contact. Charlie's on a '12-man unlock' which means he can only leave if there are 12 prison officers and dogs present. I don't think he likes it that much."
