"Alternative Pathways Conference: The Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Extremism-Related Offenders"

On October 12, 2023, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP)—with support from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—hosted an in-person event at the National Press Club in Washington, DC with leading experts in the fields of rehabilitation and reintegration. 

Speakers and panelists explored trauma and violence in rehabilitation and reintegration programs and how to reform in-prison and post-release programming for convicted violent extremists and terrorists. 

This event is part of CEP’s Alternative Pathways program, an in-community reentry and recidivism reduction initiative focused on those susceptible to radicalization in prison or those convicted of terrorism-related offenses. Visit www.4rnetwork.org/prison-resources to learn more.

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

Fact:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
