Frontline prison staff were vulnerable to attack and were ill-equipped to counter hateful extremism on prison landings for fear of being accused of racism.
The rest of the article should be read in full, for it is a damning indictment of the way Islamic extremism and deradicalization of terrorists are handled within the UK's prison network.
Entitled "Exploring the Nature of Muslim Groups and Related Gang Activity in Three High Security Prisons: Findings from Qualitative Research", the study paints a disturbing picture that could have been a script for a violent TV drama.
In his summary dated June 19, 2019, Dunleavy identifies a group of radicalized Muslims who function as a gang in UK prisons, taking control of territory and exercising influence over existing and new Muslim prisoners, even where the latter do not enter gaol as extremists or terrorist supporters.
In prison, terrorists designed an organizational structure providing specific roles for each member, roles identical to what was just found in the UK; leaders, recruiters, enforcers, foot soldiers.
The intelligence report also said that terrorists would operate their group in prison like a "Brotherhood," and that recruitment would thrive because they had a large "Pool of vulnerable people" from which to draw.
In Dunleavy's opinion, American prison and counter-terrorism authorities have handled these matters better than their counterparts in the UK:. The United States seems to have fared better curbing radical Islamic groups organizing in the prison system than our UK and EU counterparts.
