New Plans To Tackle Extremism In Prisons

The video discusses a government review on extremism in prisons, accepted by Justice Secretary Liz Truss. It highlights new measures like specialist units for high-risk extremists, banning extremist literature, and vetting Muslim chaplains. The report follows Anjem Choudary's conviction for terror offences. Experts question the effectiveness of isolating extremists, fearing it may create a 'school for terrorism.' Steve Dagworth, an ex-offender, doubts the system's capacity to implement these changes without additional resources. A new director of Security and Counter-Terrorism will oversee the crackdown, with promises to tackle Islamist extremism.
