America at a Crossroads
Season 1, Episode 16: Homegrown: Islam in Prison
Select Source
Drawing on the views of imams, prison converts to Islam, law enforcement, chaplains and other experts, this film examines the Islamic faith in America’s penal system. This film illuminates the dichotomy surrounding this issue: is the teaching of Islam in prison providing meaning and direction to what had previously been lost lives, or is a distorted Islam fostering an extremist ideology here in America?
