Muslim prisoners victimised in jail

Muslim prisoners are taking refuge in the isolation units of jails to escape violent attacks, according to a report by the Chief Inspector of Prisons.

"Anne Owers inspected Frankland jail, Co Durham and said: "The small proportion of black and minority ethnic prisoners feel especially unsafe, and Muslim prisoners in particular were seeking sanctuary in the segregation unit; some, but not all, because of the nature of their offence".
