Description
Appropriately recruited Muslim prison chaplains are employed to challenge the extremist views of inmates and to provide religious direction for the Muslim ones. Its goal is to enable violent Islamist inmates to meet Muslim chaplains who have religious references which they can use in their arguments against violent Islamist discourse.
This programme was designed to target the small number of inmates with the most entrenched extremist views. One-to-one sessions over several hours with a trained chaplain will be used to challenge the theological arguments used by these inmates to justify their extremist views.
