US prisons are becoming a hotbed for indoctrinating inmates and turning them into radical Muslims, US lawmakers were told Wednesday in the second of a series of controversial hearings.

"Individuals and groups that subscribe to radical Islamic ideology have made sustained efforts to target inmates for indoctrination."
