UK prisons struggle with radicalisation among inmates

According to UK prison officers, there is no strategy in place to combat the radicalisation and recruitment of prisoners by suspected terrorist operatives within UK prisons.

The Prison Officers' Association (POA) has said that some of the suspected terrorists housed in UK jails are targeting alienated ethnic minority prisoners.

The POA has warned the government that urgent steps need to be taken to prevent prisoners suspected of being terrorists from interacting with other prisoners and engaging in criminal integration and collusion.

Senior prison managers have said in official correspondence that despite being aware of the problem, they are waiting for a recently formed working group on extremist prisoners to report before they take action.
