He will be released a year from now, and the Prison he is comfortable, with friendly prisoners and staff. He is pleased that his own writing is going well, with the strong possibility that a book about his experiences in prison and his early life,will be commissioned.

Although his stay there was short I have never forgotten him and eagerly read his pieces in Prospect. I caused a minor traffic jam on Waterloo Station when I picked up the Prospect which had his first Prisoner piece in it and stood there transfixed. The connection of genius and madness is almost a cliche, but certainly true of Charles. The true madness is putting someone like him in a prison like Belmarsh for so many years. If anyone is not guilty because of his mental state it is Charles. I just hope that the publicity of his case will find him a publisher and outlet as a truly original writer.
