Preventing jihadist radicalisation in Spanish prisons

Description

The article analyses the problem of jihadist radicalisation in Spanish prisons and the measures taken by the state to counteract it. The author points out that prisons can be conducive to radicalisation due to the isolation of prisoners, identity crises and the influence of already radicalised inmates. In response to this threat, Spain has implemented multi-level strategies including prisoner monitoring, deradicalisation programmes, education and cooperation with Muslim organisations.
