Video Description (from Youtube)

There are 2.2 million people in American prisons. An estimated 350,000 to 500,000 of them are Muslim — and most of them converted inside.
This video traces how Islam became the fastest-growing religion behind bars, from the Nation of Islam's outreach to Black inmates in the 1950s, to Malcolm X's transformation at Norfolk Prison Colony, to the theological split between NOI and Sunni Islam, to the psychology of why prison specifically creates the conditions for conversion — and what the data actually says about radicalization.
