Radicalisation: Prisons

Volume 481: debated on Tuesday 28 October 2008

23. To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what steps are being taken to combat radicalisation in prisons. (230392)

The Government's counter-terrorism strategy identifies prisons as one of a number of arenas where extremists may seek to radicalise others. Prisons manage this risk as part of the National Offender Management Service's work to protect the public and reduce re-offending. The National Offender Management Service works closely with the Home Office and other experts to develop our counter-radicalisation efforts.
