Bonkers Brit-flick Bronson is out today. It's ace.
To survive his time inside, Charles Bronson (Tom Hardy) goes batshit crazy, growing a fancy 'tache and generally being mental. Here are some other ways to get through pokey that don't involve facial hair.
Get A Hobby!
The Film: The Birdman Of Alcatraz (1962)
The Con: Richard Stroud (Burt Lancaster), a surly, sweary type who killed a guard and got sentenced to death – commuted to life in solitary.
To avoid going bonkers (well, more than he already seemed to be), Stroud cultivated a passion for bird care. His feathered friends kept him happy, but didn’t exactly please the authorities.
The Suggestion: Use your meagre prison slop rations to attract passing seagulls. Capture one, and raise it like you would a child in your cell.
Just don’t let you cellmate, Buster “Mad Dog” McKean get a hold of little Squawky. Or he’ll be replacing his own meagre prison slop rations with fresh roasted bird in toilet wine sauce.

I wonder if the uncut version sees what he does to the guy who slips him the soap?
