Homegrown: Islam in Prison
Radical Islam has spread throughout Europe. Will this militant mindset become "homegrown" and threaten the United States? "Homegrown," a special in the "America at a Crossroads" series, examines a crucial question: are U.S. prisons incubators for radical Islam and terrorist ideology? The issue was brought to the fore by the disruption of an alleged terrorist plot, hatched in prison, in Los Angeles in 2005. Viewers meet key figures involved in the case. They also meet prison imams and inmates for whom Islam has been an increasingly popular lifeline, providing direction and purpose to their lives. But with overcrowded correctional facilities offering little rehabilitation for inmates and idle time to embrace radical ideologies, should prison reform become part of America's national security policy?
