The field of security management is witnessing a shift from traditional approaches to a more interactive and frictional model in response to escalating security threats, including the intersection of crime and terrorism within prisons. This research paper aims to understand this shift and its underlying reasons, as well as how security agencies are adapting to contemporary security challenges and developing effective strategies. The paper focuses on the changes within society due to global security climate developments and the increasing overlap between crime and terrorism inside prisons. This overlap necessitates transitioning to an interactive and integrated security model to address cross-border challenges. Prisons have evolved from mere sites of punishment to critical locations for combating extremism and terrorism. The paper reviews local and international policies related to counterterrorism within prisons, aiming to understand the legal framework governing frictional security management. Additionally, it examines the experiences of various countries in improving prison management strategies and enhancing international cooperation to implement reform programs aimed at eradicating terrorism, to derive lessons and guidelines applicable to the local context. This approach contributes to developing effective policies, strategies, and programs to enhance public safety and combat emerging threats within prisons. The paper provides conclusions and recommendations to strengthen the effectiveness of security management and develop comprehensive strategies for countering extremism and terrorism in prison environments​.
