During Brazil’s last military dictatorship, between 1964 and 1985, the jails were filled with political prisoners as well as criminals. The two mingled and soon the criminals were developing an ideology that centered on prisoners’ rights and improving prison conditions. Out of this came the country’s prison gangs. One of them, the Comando da Capital. (the capital command), organized around fighting what it called the “oppressors.” This meant the government, of course, but also society writ large, which they felt had excluded them. The ideology struck a chord, not just inside the prisons but in huge parts of Brazil, a country that is one of the most unequal on the planet and a place where repression and police killings are commonplace. Cut to 2024, the Comando da Capital is now called Primeiro Comando da Capital -PCC-, and it has close to 30,000 members covering at least a third of Brazil’s territory with an amorphous, compartmentalized structure that makes it especially complex for authorities to keep up with them.

This is undoubtedly the most complete and authoritative report compiled on the systematic abuse and torture in Israeli prisons since Oct 7th: https://lnkd.in/d3v-dSVr The report is called "Welcome to Hell" and was written by B'Tselem, the main Israeli human rights organization, who spent months interviewing dozens of former Palestinian prisoners (those who survived the ordeal). The report's conclusion? Israeli prisons, "in which EVERY [Palestinian] inmate is intentionally condemned to severe, relentless pain and suffering, operate as de-facto torture camps... The abuse consistently described in the testimonies of dozens of individuals held in different facilities was so systemic, that there is no room to doubt an organized, declared policy of the Israeli prison authorities... As the testimonies reveal the new policy is applied across all prison facilities and to ALL Palestinian prisoners. Among its main tenets are unrelenting physical and psychological violence, denial of medical treatment, starvation, withholding of water, sleep depravation and confiscation of all personal belongings." They also note that "most" Palestinians are held without trials. They end their report with an "appeal to all nations and to all international institutions and bodies, including the International Criminal Court, to do everything in their power to put an immediate end to to the cruelties meted out on Palestinians by Israel's prison system, and to recognize the Israeli regime operating this system as an apartheid regime that must come to an end". by Arnaud Bertrand

Correctional Service Canada │ Service correctionnel Canada Between March 2020 and February 2022, there were almost 700 drone-related incidents in Canadian prisons, according to a CSC chart provided by the union. Quebec has the highest percentage of drone incidents. In prisons across Canada — from Atlantic Canada to the West Coast — the union says drone drops are a daily occurrence. It says the contraband has led to increased violence and overdoses in prisons and burdened inmates with large debts. https://lnkd.in/g7ze2iw4 How do you prevent accidental exposure when you seize these drone dropped narcotics? SoRite DECON can provide significant risk reduction from accidental exposure in corrections facilities. https://lnkd.in/epCDQKYW

Militant groups openly run activities inside Bangladesh prison Recent investigative reports have unveiled alarming details about the operations of militant groups within the prison system in Bangladesh. Two notable reports, one from our Publication BLiTZ and another from The Daily Star, highlight the escalating threat posed by Ansar Al Islam, Hizbut Tahrir, Al-Shahadat and JMB (Jamaatul Mujahedin Bangladesh). These groups are using the country’s prisons not just as a hideout but as a base for coordinating terrorist activities and generating funds. The revelations call for immediate and decisive actions to safeguard national and regional security. On June 21-22, 2024, during the visit of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to India, an agreement was signed granting India rail transit. This event has stirred political unrest, with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its Islamist allies launching a propaganda campaign against Indian establishments in Bangladesh.

For the first time in Brazilian history, two criminals managed to escape from a maximum security prison that housed high-risk inmates. The incident occurred at the Mossoró Penitentiary, in Rio Grande do Norte, which occupies an area of 12 thousand square meters and accommodates just over 80 prisoners in four pavilions and an isolation area with 12 cells. Security specialist Hen Harel explains that places with vast areas that require active and preventive security, such as the Mossoró Penitentiary, need advanced detection technologies to anticipate risks.

Co-founder of Own Merit CIC | Fundraiser at the Howard League | Author: ‘The Road to London Bridge’ | Speaker | Interests: Geopolitics, Extremism
During a recent Q&A session focused on my book, ‘The Road to London Bridge,’ I had the privilege of delving into the pressing issue of prison radicalisation. My sincere thanks to Charlotte Littlewood for her insightful questions, to all those who attended, and to Sachin N. and The International Centre for Sustainability for hosting the event. Extremism of any kind poses a severe threat to both the safety and cohesion of our society. A particularly alarming issue in our prisons today is the merger of Islamist extremism with gang culture, leading to coerced or strategic conversions to Islam. This toxic combination has become a dominant force in the higher security categories of our prison system, facilitating the risk of radicalisation of vulnerable prisoners by Islamist extremists and possibly even paving the way for the emergence of counter threats like right-wing extremism. While converting to a faith can indeed have positive and transformative effects, its combination with gang mentality and ideological influences often results in profoundly negative outcomes for public safety: a) The risk of radicalisation or extremism within prisons, which can extend beyond prison walls, posing a broader threat to society, prison staff, and fellow inmates. b) An atmosphere of intimidation and violence that severely hinders rehabilitation efforts. Under constant threat, prisoners find it difficult to focus on rehabilitation, education, or future reintegration, as survival becomes their primary concern. The secluded nature of prisons keeps them out of the public eye, diminishing the pressure on governments to address these deeply entrenched issues. However, as I have witnessed first-hand during my years in prison and at the tragic events at Fishmongers’ Hall — a terrorist attack committed by a former Category A prisoner — the reality and impact of these issues are undeniable. Prisons should be centres of rehabilitation, not radicalisation. Fortunately, there are solutions, as well as some great professionals in the field working towards understanding and tackling this issue, but the question remains: do we have the leadership, the courage and resources to implement them effectively? #prisonreform #prisonsecurity #publicsafety #extremism #radicalisation #deradicalisation

Operation Early Dawn: A New Beginning for Prisoners in August 2024 👮♂️ It is clear that something needs to be done to address the issue of prison space. In August 2024, Operation Early Dawn emerged as an emergency government plan after the riots and England’s struggle against terrorism has caused the overcrowding situation in prisons to worsen. The question is whether this will be enough? Or indeed, whether this is the solution. Read the blog below and let us know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/ewgXGKJD #OperationEarlyDawn #PrisonUK

Here's a societal point: given the huge concerns about prison overcrowding and the Government's indefinite extension of its 'early release scheme', it's interesting to note that there are more people in prison than there are people serving in the British Army (95,526 in prison V 75,983 soldiers, acc. to 2023 data I just checked). You might think that if the Tories hadn't shrunk the Army so much, thereby offering more useful military careers, there might not be so many people in prison. I wonder why this point seems to have not occurred to so many politicians and journalists involved in the issue.
