Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Andrew Turner (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 25 April 2017 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Extremism in Prisons
- Question
-
What is the Minister doing to ensure that prisoners with extremist beliefs do not oppress other prisoners for their faith?
- Answer
-
People in prison convert to religion for all sorts of reasons. As I have said, conversion does not mean radicalisation. It is important that prisons have a regime whereby people who convert are not exploited in any way. The separation centres are one way of removing dangerous people, but obviously education and the support of prison officers play a vital role.
