Part 2/8:
Syria is reportedly home to thousands of jihadis incarcerated, many in a notorious prison in Damascus known as Siga. It is believed that this prison houses over 10,000 inmates, some of whom have been imprisoned for decades. Many of these prisoners, as noted, exhibit extremely radical views and are unlikely to be rehabilitated given the conditions they have endured. This has raised alarms concerning the possibility of their release, which could lead to a resurgence of jihadist activities in the West.
