Curbing Radicalisation: States Told to Revamp Prison Security
The Union government has issued a stern directive to all states, mandating the segregation of radicalised inmates within high-security prison complexes. This crucial step aims to prevent further radicalisation and promote rehabilitation.
The directive, issued on July 8, 2025, emphasises the need for enhanced surveillance measures within prison facilities. This includes the implementation of advanced screening tools to detect and prevent the spread of extremist ideologies.
Furthermore, the government has stressed the importance of comprehensive de-radicalisation programs. These initiatives will incorporate therapy, counselling sessions, and facilitated family contact to aid in the rehabilitation process.
The move comes in response to growing concerns regarding the spread of radical ideologies within prison walls. Experts believe that these measures are vital to counter the threat of extremism and ensure public safety. The effectiveness of these state-level implementations will be crucial in determining future national strategies.
