Eye on 4R Network: When Terrorists Come Home: From in-prison to post-release care
Jan 12, 2023
Lucinda Creighton

In today’s second episode of our series on the 4R Network, Lucinda speaks with Ian Acheson, Senior Advisor to the Counter Extremism Project. Ian has long been involved in prison security and counter-terrorism. In 1994, he joined Her Majesty’s Prison Service as a prison officer, rising rapidly to governor rank. In 2015, Ian led an independent review of Islamist extremism in prisons and probation in the UK. He has extensive involvement in operational command of serious prison incidents, hostage negotiation, and counter-terrorism policy and practice.

In this episode, Ian will pull from his experience and expertise in the tactical and strategic management of violent extremism in UK correctional settings and community to deliver a training that covers monitoring in correctional settings and the importance of connecting in-prison programming to coordinated post-release care.
