Justice Secretary Dominic Raab warns terrorists over further prison time
By Rachel RussellTerrorist offenders will face longer sentences if they commit crime while in prison, Dominic Raab has said.
But the justice secretary says crimes committed by terrorists in jail - however minor - may now lead to "significantly more prison time".The move comes after a review of terrorist activity in prisons in England and Wales by the government's independent reviewer of terrorist legislation, Jonathan Hall KC.Mr Raab said this change would keep communities safer from those unwilling to change their ways.
"More fundamentally, public confidence in the criminal justice system is shaken if terrorism occurs in prison or if people enter prison only to more dangerous: and the ability of prisons to function is gravely degraded if prison officers fear imminent terrorist attack."
