? Questions for detention monitors: Rehabilitation and reintegration Depending on their specific mandate, it may not be the role of detention monitors to assess the quality (or success) of VERLT-related rehabilitation and reintegration programmes and their relevance to counter VERLT in prisons. There is, however, a role for monitors in evaluating access to individualized interventions and human rights concerns relating to participation and the substance of such programmes. The type of targeted programmes on offer: • Are deradicalization or disengagement programmes implemented in prisons? Who is delivering these programmes and how are they supervised? Is the implementation of such programmes encouraged and what kind of support do they receive? • Does the placement and security regime have an impact on prisoners’ access to targeted programmes? Is participation in these programmes voluntary and based on informed consent?

The type of work educational, vocational training and recreational activities on offer: • Which activities are offered to (suspected) violent extremist prisoners, and how often? Do these differ from activities offered to the general prison population? If yes, how? Are work programmes permitted on an equal basis? Does the placement and security regime impact on prisoners’ access to activities such as sport, education and work? • Are activities gender- and age-appropriate? What arrangements are in place to encourage the participation of foreign nationals? Have men and women, adults and children equal access to these activities? Are long-term sentenced prisoners offered the same type of activities? What are the criteria to have access to these activities? • Are there limitations on access and participation in these activities (limited number of prisoners at the same time, limited duration …)? Are there factors that impede access to these activities (such as security considerations of operational 87
