£6million Jihadi jails will be built to stop radicalisation in British prisons
jails will be built in a £6million bid to stop radicalisation behind bars.Three new “separation centres” will keep influential “radicalisers” away from the rest of the prison population, under new Government plans.A specialist group will pick out those considered the most violent and dangerous inmates who will then be moved to the units.Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary Dominic Raab said: “The threat from terrorism is evolving, so our response must adapt.“We are not allowing cultural and religious sensitivities to deter us from nipping in the bud early signs of terrorist risk.“We will isolate radical terrorists in separation centres.”A Government spokesman added: “The most influential and charismatic terrorists will be kept completely separate from the prison population.”At the end of April, the Government published a report by Jonathan Hall QC, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation into terrorism in prisons. It made a number of recommendations, saying that things needed to get stricter.As a result the Government are passing a Bill of Rights to limit terrorists’ ability to bring “trivial claims” against their treatment under the Human Rights Act.
