Perverts must go through crucial therapy programmes where they talk about their sex crimes, as part of their sentence. But the Ministry of Justice could offer exemption to Muslim prisoners after they complained discussing crimes is against their religion.Don't wanna go to re-hab,
Rather eat Kosher kebab,
Koran sez beat the wife,
Abdullah gonna do that right,
By Allah we will fight,
'Til the kaffirs say, "good night."
Tory MPs have blasted the idea and Shadow Justice Minister Nick Herbert reckons all prisoners should be treated equally. If they refuse the sex crimes rehab they should be kept behind bars for longer. Mr Herbert said: “It is one thing to make a dispensation for a prisoner’s faith when it comes to prayer and diet.
“But if a prisoner is unwilling to take part in rehabilitation they should be treated no differently to others, which may mean spending longer in custody.”
Automatic early release should be scrapped Shadow Justice Minister Nick Herbert. He said: “There can be no religious discrimination when it comes to deciding the appropriate and safe time to release a prisoner.” Mr Herbert added that automatic early release should be scrapped.
He said: “In any case, all prisoners, regardless of religion, should have their release made conditional on their behaviour and progress in custody, not be given automatic release at the half-way mark.”
A Muslim prisoner wrote a letter to the lags newspaper Inside Time, raising the issue. The prison service’s Muslim Adviser Ahtsham Ali, confirmed that there is a “legitimate Islamic position” for not talking about crimes.
The Ministry of Justice has agreed to look at the issue to be “sensitive” to Muslim needs.
