      Bronson knew he would never get any of his demands, so always just asked for random stuff, he says it in his books. His demands were just to play with the negotiator, if you do anything in prison that puts you(roof top protest)or anyone else(hostage taking)a negotiator is sent to try to talk you down but will not give you anything, their job is to talk, and Charlie made stupid demands as an excuse why he did what he did, but he was just disrupting the prisons regime and causing trouble. A national newspaper printed his first demands and Charlie read about it and laughed, so kept making demands

      Toni Lainekivi Probably because he’s been in prison. If he were allowed to be out and about, a violent outburst or hostage situation could have turned lethal. Prison isn’t just for punishment or rehabilitation, it’s also for containment. It’s why when incarceration rates rise, crime rates fall. You’re keeping all the repeat offenders off the streets so they can’t commit crimes.
