Recent years have seen an increase in the number of offenders convicted of terrorism related offences across the EU as well of those convicted of other offenses, but radicalised in prison.
Though a small proportion of the total prison population, managing these offenders confronts Member States with important challenges related to rehabilitation and reintegration and, in some cases, risk management.
The RAN REHABILITATION working group aims to bring together practitioners under a rehabilitation roadmap.
