In 2003, the Singapore Government founded the Religious Rehabilitation Group (RRG) to provide religious counselling for detainees and their families linked to JI. The programme was based on the Yemeni government’s ‘theological dialogue’. Originally, only 20 religious leaders volunteered their efforts, and at present some 40 volunteer their services, supported by a group of psychologists. The government has invested heavily in their training and most counsellors have graduated from a seven-month programme in counselling psychology., The RRG claims that between 2003 and mid-2007, it held more than 800 individual counselling sessions. Since May 2005, it has held more than 100 family counselling sessions for the wives of detainees. The government has used its vast resources to make sure that the families of detainees have a steady source of income and that their children attend school, so that the families do not have to rely on JI’s social networks.
