UK discovers that prisons have become ‘a second opportunity for committed terrorists’

British authorities are just finding out that prisons are jihad breeding grounds? If they had read Jihad Watch (other than to find evidence of that ever-elusive “right-wing extremism”), they would have known years ago. Even one of their own, Ian Acheson, “who led an earlier review of jail extremism in the UK,” says: “I’m disappointed that many of the recommendations I made in 2016 to robustly respond to this threat do not seem to have been adopted. This implies a continuing serious failure of leadership and will to confront terrorism that I identified.”

Right, Ian. To identify the problem correctly would be “Islamophobic.”

“UK prisons turn into breeding grounds for Islamist jihad as jailed terrorists impose Sharia law,” Firstpost, September 19, 2022:

London: Jails in the United Kingdom (UK) are fast turning into Sharia States, having islands of ‘no-go’ areas within where the Islamic Law takes precedence. These pockets are being created under the influence of high-profile inmates who are serving sentences for terrorism.

Earlier this year, then justice secretary Dominic Raab, had conceded the development after he accepted a government-sanctioned review headed by Jonathan Hall.

In Hall’s words, prisons in the UK, especially in London, are becoming “a second opportunity for committed terrorists whose attack plans are thwarted in the community”.

Reports in several newspapers have also suggested that these prisons are rife with makeshift Sharia courts that were handing out Islamic punishment on those who don’t follow.

Hall, in his report, has observed that inmates, who have a high profile at jails, including Belmarsh and Whitemoor, are styling themselves as ’emirs’ and using their ‘celebrity’ status in an effort to take over prison wings and radicalise jailed Muslims.

Concerns have, thus, been raised fears of other inmates being radicalised too, outing them as well as the entire system under pressure.

Hall also noted that such terror accused or convicts are training the youth to be enforcers of the Sharia law inside prison. If inmates do not submit, Sharia court “judges” deem their actions to be illegal, delivering punishment such as flogging or are asked to do odd jobs, such as cleaning the ceilings, toilets etc….

Another news report had cited evidence found in this connection by Richard Walton, former head of Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command, and Ian Acheson, who led an earlier review of jail extremism in the UK. The two experts said that reforms to tackle the problem of extremism in jails had stalled.

“I’m disappointed that many of the recommendations I made in 2016 to robustly respond to this threat do not seem to have been adopted. This implies a continuing serious failure of leadership and will to confront terrorism that I identified,” Acheson said….
