Case study #3: Radicalised and terrorist offenders released from prison
Many EU countries will be increasingly confronted with prisoners convicted of terrorist offences being released from prison. Although these are not the first terrorist offenders to leave prison within the EU, the current challenge is considerable due to the scale of recent extremist activities: Foreign Terrorist Fighters who left for Syria (or attempted to do so), recruitment and home-grown terrorism based on different ideologies. Also, more acts constitute a crime due to widening anti-terrorist laws. The potential violent and extremist threat this group may pose calls for action. The return of this group to society poses another challenge. This group needs to work on their return to society. Just as important is preparing the receiving community for their return. Without society’s acceptance and support, rehabilitation of the released prisoner will be significantly more complex. This video presents a case study of Nour, 19, convicted of terrorism offences and newly released from prison and her journey to rehabilitation and reintegration.

RAN Policy & Practice (Paris): Optimising Triple P (Police, Prison & Probation)
Police, prison and probation services are known as the Triple-P. All three work in tandem when dealing with radicalised and terrorist offenders before, during and after imprisonment. Coordination between police, prison and probation services is paramount. Especially today when Member States are dealing with an increasing number of offenders being released from prison after serving sentences for terrorism-related crimes. There are also detainees imprisoned for non-terrorist offences who might become radicalised in prison and then released. The RAN Policy and Practice event in Paris on 22 November 2018 focused on how to enhance cooperation frameworks within, between and beyond the triple-P organisations to deal effectively with radicalised and terrorist offenders.
