The Maine Department of Corrections (DOC) will be launching a prison rehabilitation program specifically tailored for Muslim inmates, aimed at minimizing the risk of the inmates being drawn to Islamist and extremist worldviews.
The program, called Prison-Based Interventions for Muslim Offenders (PRIMO), will be funded by a taxpayer-funded grant of $22,900 from the State of Maine to Cardiff University (U.K.).
Cardiff University ran an initial pilot of PRIMO in the U.K. last year, and are now “looking to expand their program to the United States,” according to a no-bid contract request issued by the Mills administration on Monday.
“The goal of the program is to maximize the rehabilitative effects of practicing Islam in prison and to minimize the existential risks of that religious choice, including being drawn to Islamist and Extremist Worldviews,” wrote Samuel Prawer, grant coordinator for the Maine DOC.
“Prison Chaplains and Correctional Officers are typically under-trained regarding the
Muslim faith and therefore under-equipped to address the specific needs of that population,” Prawer wrote.
“This forward-thinking program aligns well with the philosophy behind Maine Model of Corrections and this collaboration presents an opportunity for our department to build a rehabilitative model tailored towards our Muslim population,” he added.
PRIMO is comprised of three educational courses for prisoners, correctional officers, and prison chaplains.
Cardiff University describes the program as “using the Qur’anic idea of the Muslim Steward who cares for himself, others and the environment as the core ideal of Muslim personhood for these courses.”
As part of the grant, the State of Maine will pay for the Cardiff University PRIMO program staff’s lodging expenses, and reimburse the flight back to the U.K. for one member of their staff, as well as their meals and incidental expenses.
According to the Maine DOC, the long-term goal is to eventually develop similar programs for inmates of other faiths.
“…. aimed at minimizing the risk of the inmates being drawn to Islamist and extremist worldviews.” What does that mean? All GOOD Muslims adhere strictly to Sharia. Those who don’t are considered apostates and can be killed. It’s a prime reason why Muslims commit so much violence against their co-religionists.
Without Jihad (both stealth and violent) there is no Islam. It is a basic tenet. Many of us have heard of the 5 Pillars of Islam. By design, the 5 “Charges” are much less well known. They are: To assemble; To Listen; To Obey; To Immigrate and To Perform Jihad.
“Immigration is a stepping stone for greater goals, particularly of transforming the existing community into an Islamic one.” – From “A Modern Day Trojan Horse”, Sam Solomon & E Al Maqdisi
Typically, someone has gotten to a useless flunky in the ME Department of Corrections who has no idea about Islamic doctrine and decided to stage a feel good photo op. These people are clueless and useless.
Great Britain is NO place to look for advice on muslims and/or immigrants.
Have you seen the riots in Leeds and the no go zones in London and other towns?
The “Correct” Rehab for Muzzy’s is a ticket to their 3rd World Shitholes ….Nothing but 7th Century Pedophile Desert Pirates .
Islam and Christianity are NOT compatible .
Our useful idiots who think they can change that , are exactly that …..idiots .
Maine doesn’t need to be spending ANY more money on Muslims except for perhaps a bus tickets to somewhere else they can conquer ….
Jihad will be in Lewiston and Brunswick before we know it .
Wake up Maine . Vote out ALL the Democrats in November !
Why not just deport them back to where they came from – PROBLEM GONE!
This move is very troubling and makes me suspicious that this us some kind of brainwashing effort to neutralize religious beliefs. “According to the Maine DOC, the long-term goal is to eventually develop similar programs for inmates of other faiths.” Mainewire, keep following this please!
They do exactly this in London. Every few years there’s a muslim who they think they stopped radicalizing, who kills people in public, usually a knife attack. In the last one, the guy actually killed the Social Worker(s) that thought they’d ‘fixed’ him!
F this.
What what about the Chinese organized crime illegal marijuana growers? I’ve heard there was originally a hundred or more operations throughout the state. What are we going to do with these dudes?
Staff were forced to take the Primo training.
