Extremism Behind Bars

Original language description

Radicalization and extremist manifestations pose a significant security threat to the prison environment, especially in relation to its specific characteristics. The dynamic nature of the radicalization process, in connection with the interaction of processes in the external society and their impact on the prison environment and vice versa, causes the radicalization process to take on (not only) new forms in the prison environment. In this context, the monitoring of these manifestations is important, whether with regard to the activities carried out, the penetration of illicit substances and objects, or symbolism. The publication Extremism Behind Bars is a study mapping not only the nature of and changes in extremism and radicalization in general, but also relating this issue to the Czech prison environment, including a comparison with foreign practice. An important part of the publication are photographs from the archives of the authors, which emphasize not only the manifestation itself of extremism, but also the visual and iconic manifestation of extremism, either in the form of prison tattoos or in the form of materials to support convicts. The publication is also supplemented by case studies and rich photographic material, demonstrating the importance of radicalization and extremism, not only on a practical level, but also on a symbolic level; whatever form radicalization takes, it is a potential tool for recruitment in the environment behind high walls and prison bars. This environment is, by its nature, literally a breeding ground for this process.
