Time to end the silence: The experience of Muslims in the prison system
This report reveals how hard it is for Muslims in custody to secure respect for their identity and those relations that give them life through their community of faith. Ignorance and suspicion still dominate large parts of the system, producing an environment that is neither just nor effective in changing behaviours and protecting society.
The report is divided into three themes that arose during the course of the project: trust, religion, and risk. Under each theme the research explores the work of four charities in relation to Muslim prisoners and in the context of the prison environment.
