Anjem Choudary guilty of inviting IS support

However, there is one thing that might not help, should he be put in general population and that is he could try and influence those who have no religion or those who feel let down by their religion.

You'd think that anyone convicted of propagandizing for terrorists would be imprisoned in isolation. Is that legal in the UK?

Of course. Take this guy for example:

But maybe that kind of rap sheet is what follows, given the sheer amount of time Salvador has logged in prison, more than 40 of his 62 years alive. About 36 of those, by press reckoning, have been in solitary confinement because of his inability to play well with others. 

Plus he has spent time in 3 high-security mental etablishments in the United Kingdom but was considered too violent to be held since the medication had no effect on him. Is it possible to keep a man in isolation in the United Kingdom, yes, I believe so.





To get back to your original question, I think they would try and isolate him from the others as much as possible, since there are quite a few of the younger generation in prisons and they would be easy targets for him to radicalise.
