Nancy Yammout: Talking to terrorists in Lebanese prisons
Show Notes

What do we do once we try, convict, sentence and incarcerate terrorists? Leave them there or try to get them to abandon their views? Phil Gurski talks to Nancy Yammout, a Lebanese woman who goes into prisons to see if she can make a difference.

About the guest Nancy Yammout
Nancy and Maya Yamout, also known as the "Mulan Sisters" or the "Kamikaze Sisters," are social workers active in Beirut, Lebanon and internationally as the president and vice president of Rescue Me - Crime Prevention.

Rescue Me is a rehabilitation program for accused Islamist terrorists in Roumieh Prison. The program is based on research the sisters performed during their master's degree studies.
