CEP Online Book Launch Discussion: “Screwed: Britain’s Prison Crisis and How
to Escape It” by Professor Ian Acheson in Conversation with CEP Advisor Liam
Duffy


(New York, N.Y. / Berlin, Germany) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP)
invites you to an online discussion on Tuesday, May 14, 2024 to discuss the
publication ofScrewed: Britain’s Prison Crisis and How to Escape It, by CEP
Senior Advisor Ian Acheson. Professor Ian Acheson will be interviewed about his
latest publication by CEP Advisor Liam Duffy.



Published on April 11, Screwed has been described as “pithy, provocative and
justifiably angry” by Rory Stewart, the former U.K. Government minister for
prisons.



Screwed is the inside story of the collapse of His Majesty’s Prison Service,
told by someone who had a front-row seat to it all. Acheson went from officer
to Governor in less than a decade, and during that time witnessed the uniformed
organization he was proud to serve crumble into lethal disarray. Together,
Acheson and Duffy will explore the former’s brutal account of the politics and
decisions that have left prisons in a state where rats roam and violence and
intimidation are normalized.



What’s more, the most significant chapter of the book is devoted to the
ongoing issue of extremism behind bars. Prisons around the world are struggling
to come to grips with a growing extremist population and have thus been
described as “incubators” for terrorism. In Britain alone, several plots and
attacks have been linked to convicted terrorist offenders, while extremists
have even conducted attacks behind prison walls. Ian Acheson, having previously
led an official review into Islamist extremism in U.K. prisons, is well placed
to explain and analyze the issues Western democracies face in managing their
incarcerated extremists.



The webinar will be conducted in English via Zoom.



Date: Tuesday, May 14, 2024

Time: 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. ET / 15:00 – 16:30 GMT / 16:00 – 17:30 CET
