New Jail for Terrorists.

A NEW “mini-max *prison will be built *beside the high-security *Super-max as Australia’s first *terrorist jail to keep hard-core extremists from radicalising other inmates.

The 54-prisoner unit, to be known as Supermax II, is part of an overhaul that will include soundproofing, and audio and CCTV upgrades to monitor visits from family and friends and drastically *improve *intelligence gathering.

At the same time, the 16-year-old Supermax High Risk Management Correctional Centre (HRMCC) will nearly double in capacity, from 45 inmates to 75.


While the $47 million, three-year overhaul is being driven by a rising number of terror-related crimes, the new jail can also accommodate other high-risk offenders.

The measures, contained in the upcoming state Budget, also *include a new deradicalisation program, and a dedicated six-man counter-terrorism intelligence unit based at *Silverwater jail to co-operate with police.

One of the motivating factors behind the jail shake-up is the “prison jigsaw, where correction officials are faced with the problem of keeping prisoners at high risk of being radicalised separated from the influence of violent *extremist *inmates.

I put this thread up because of the discussion on another thread about interning those suspected or under the watch list of authorities. the authorities here seem to think that this particular prison will stop the radicalisation of other inmates and stop the gang mentality of Muslims in Jail.
