Charles Bronson, one of the UK's longest-serving prisoners, would not cope with being released, a Parole Board panel has heard.
The 70-year-old, one of the UK's most violent offenders, has been in prison for much of the last 50 years.
He told the panel he had had "more porridge than Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and I'm sick of it".
The first witness, his prison offender manager, said Bronson would not have the skills to cope with being released.
The panel heard that he spends 23 hours a day in his cell and only associates with three other inmates who he does not get on with.
Shaven-headed Bronson was wearing a suit and his trademark small round sunglasses.
When asked to give evidence, he spoke for about 10 minutes.
"First of all," he said. "It's no secret. I have had more porridge than Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and I'm sick of it.
"I've had enough of it and I want to go home.
"Of the 50 years I have been in prison I have probably deserved a good 35 of it.
"Because I have been very naughty. Not naughty-naughty but just naughty.
"I have had 11 hostages. I am not proud of it but I am not ashamed of it," he said.
