A report last year by terrorism legislation reviewer Jonathan Hall KC found that inmates promoting Islamist terrorism 'boycott' official Friday prayers in protest at the rules.

“These changes, alongside tougher sentences for terrorists who commit crimes behind bars and our work to separate more of the most radical terrorists, will better protect our hardworking staff, other prisoners and the public.”
