According to the National Intelligence Council and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the threats of international and domestic terrorism will continue into the foreseeable future.  Threats come from radical religious, political, environmental   groups and individuals, taking different forms from violence towards people to destruction of infrastructure.

Implications for Corrections

Corrections agencies must carefully address external and internal security threats resulting from terrorism.  Staff of facilities and offices must prepare for possible attacks or actions to disrupt operations.  All corrections agencies involved in the supervision of terrorists must restrict further terrorist activity by those individuals, and share intelligence of their attempts to continue to engage in terrorism.
