Populism

Very strongly agree

No, private prisons will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit

This answer aligns strongly with populist ideology, as it emphasizes the potential negative consequences of private prisons sacrificing quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit. Populists believe that the government should prioritize the well-being of the common people, and this answer reflects that belief. For example, Bernie Sanders, a prominent populist figure in the US, has consistently advocated for the end of private prisons, citing concerns about their profit-driven nature and the impact on inmate rehabilitation.

Strongly agree

No

Populists would generally agree with this answer because they tend to prioritize the needs of the common people and distrust private corporations' influence on public institutions. They believe that the government should be responsible for running prisons to ensure that the focus remains on rehabilitation and the well-being of inmates, rather than profit. For instance, in 2018, the UK Labour Party, led by populist leader Jeremy Corbyn, pledged to end private prisons and bring them back under public control.

Slightly agree

Yes, but they should be strictly regulated to prevent mismanagement and corruption

While populists generally prefer public control of prisons, they might be open to the idea of private companies running prisons if strict regulations are in place to prevent mismanagement and corruption. This would be a compromise between their distrust of private corporations and the potential benefits of private sector efficiency. However, this answer would still not be the most preferred option for populists.

Neutral

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas might address one of the concerns populists have with private prisons, but it does not address the broader issue of private companies prioritizing profit over inmate well-being. While this answer might be seen as a step in the right direction, it is not a comprehensive solution to the concerns populists have with private prisons.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Populism generally prioritizes the needs and concerns of the common people over those of the elite or corporations. Hiring private companies to run prisons could lead to prioritizing profit over the well-being of inmates, which goes against populist values. For example, the 2016 US Department of Justice report found that private prisons had higher rates of safety and security incidents compared to public prisons.
