Description
The project Legato Bremen KuBiBe tries to make headway with the problem of implementing preventive measures, more systematic disengagement assistance, democracy promotion as well as the setting up of alternatives for individuals both inside and outside of prison. In addition, it hopes to increase awareness of topics relevant to radicalisation by developing innovative training content for those working in the criminal justice system.
Legato – KuBiBe aims to identify the radicalisation of young people in the Bremen prison system and during probation at an early stage and work to prevent it. Its main focus is discrimination as a factor contributing to radicalisation on both the institutional and individual levels.
For the implementation of the content, the project is divided into three modules: training, mentoring and educational activities. Training of staff within the criminal justice system is intended to guarantee an increased awareness about topics relevant to radicalisation within the prison and probation system in order to create confidence in dealing with individuals who have already become radicalised and prevent potential conflicts. In addition, in targeted group work the training will demonstrate alternative ways of living, introduce methods beneficial for personal development and strengthen social skills through the use of role-play activities.
For this purpose, in several of the modules an interdisciplinary team will work both inside and outside the prison. The aim is to interrupt radicalisation processes and actively work to prevent social isolation and disintegration as further contributing factors.
Reducing reoffending rates is the immanent aim of the overall project. Creating alternative narratives, realistic life perspectives and building trust in society and the individual’s social system are the methods which will be employed to achieve this.
The target group is for the most part individuals who have joined violent jihadi-islamist organisations and/ or movements as well as members or former members of foreign terror organisations such as Al-Qaida or ISIS.
Action plan
The overall aims of all the modules are establishing and conceptually developing mentoring on a case-by-case basis which preferably starts before sentencing and continues throughout the sentence until the probation period and beyond. The aim is to achieve the following:
· Raising awareness and improving competence in dealing with young people who are at-risk or have already become radicalised;
· Transferring experience and knowledge from the project back into the regular system;
· Tried and tested knowledge will be embedded and transferred into the regular activities in the medium term through the continuous involvement and training of the prison staff.
The action plan consists of the following modules:

The action plan consists of the following modules:
- Possibility of continuous mentoring in individual cases with the regular presence of the project in the prison as well as networking meetings with all the probation support offices and training events in systemic consultation and risk assessment;
- Specialised consulting for identifying radicalisation and discrimination and reaction strategies for employees where necessary;
- Participation in case conferences;
- Running of training events both for prison and probation officers. The focus areas of the training events are the early detection of radicalisation among individual inmates or individuals on probation and improving basic knowledge and confidence;
- Participation in international networking conferences by project representatives as well as research trips to similar projects within Germany and abroad;
- Disengagement assistance.
