UK introduces new restrictions on the number of books that terrorists can keep in their cells

Only two medium-sized boxes of books that cannot weigh more than 15 kilograms are permitted to be brought by the approximately 200 terrorists currently incarcerated in UK prisons.

The number of books that convicted terrorists can keep in their cells has been increased in the United Kingdom in an effort to prevent terrorists from "hoarding." Additionally, "terrorists" are prohibited from taking a "leading role" in religious services under the new rules.

Only two medium-sized boxes of books that cannot weigh more than 15 kilograms are permitted to be brought by the approximately 200 terrorists currently incarcerated in UK prisons. Ordering books, picking them up from prison libraries, or having friends and family send them to inmates are all options.

In support of the changes, the administration cited a recent incident in which a convicted terrorist had 200 books in his cell as proof that the change would make it easier for prison staff to check for prohibited content.

It comes because of a report from 2022 that communicated stress over radicalization and Islamist packs inside jails. Alex Chalk, the new Justice Secretary, claims that the restrictions will stop terrorists from pursuing "their own sinister agenda."

Notwithstanding, stresses over fanatic substance are being shrouded in books that have proactively been endorsed or having their covers changed to conceal it.

In 2014, less than a year after it had been enacted, the High Court declared unconstitutional a previous blanket prohibition against prisoners receiving books from individuals outside of prison.
