question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Offender Management Service plan to adopt a regime based on isolation and solitary confinement for all those Muslim prisoners who are assessed as posing a risk of encouraging Islamic radicalisation whilst in prison.

uin	HL1578
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/09/2016 answer text <p>The government is committed to tackling all forms of extremism. Keeping the most dangerous extremists away from other prisoners is essential to the safe running of our prisons and fundamental to public protection. Planning is under way to create specialist units within the high security estate to allow greater separation and specialised management of extremists who pose the highest risk to other prisoners. The regime of the new units will not be based on isolation or solitary confinement but on removing a small subset of the most dangerous and subversive radicalisers from the mainstream prisoner population.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 15/09/2016 15:46:47 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

uin	HL1769
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2015 answer text <p>One of the Secretary of State’s earliest priorities has been to look closely at the way in which the Ministry of Justice, and specifically the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), deals with the threat from extremism and radicalisation in prisons and probation, and whether the response to that threat is effective. It is clear that the threat is evolving and increasing globally and it is crucial that the response, not just in my department but across government, rises to the growing challenge.</p><p> </p><p><a target="_blank">As part of his initial assessment the Secretary of State decided to halt the proposed de-radicalisation programme Ibaana, as its approach is not consistent with the principles set out in the Prime Minister’s speech in </a>Munich in February 2011, and reinforced by his speech on 20 July 2015.</p><p> </p><p>The Secretary of State has also asked the Ministry of Justice, supported by external expertise, to review our overall approach to dealing with Islamist extremism in prisons and probation. This will include considering whether the Ibaana programme should be replaced and if so what a replacement should look like.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Ministry of Justice will continue to be closely involved in the cross government work currently underway on developing de-radicalisation programmes.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 24/07/2015 10:59:13 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2015 answer text <p>NOMS requires its staff to report on a wide range of extremist behaviours through well-established intelligence reporting systems. This process identifies a number of prisoners, who from the behaviour they exhibit in custody, appear to hold extremist views or who may be vulnerable to radicalisation, religious or otherwise. NOMS assesses that a significant proportion of those exhibiting extremist behaviours do so to disguise or excuse anti-social or criminal gang behaviours or to attempt to manipulate the prison system.</p><p> </p><p>Reporting of extremist behaviour is received from a range of prisons across the custodial estate. NOMS identifies and manages extremist behaviour where it is reported and has a range of interventions available to tackle and disrupt such behaviour, whether genuine or apparent, and an established multi-agency case management approach working with partners to deal with those prisoners of greatest concern.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 02/07/2015 13:37:29 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
