Social Activism

Very strongly agree

No

Social activists typically support public control of prisons to ensure that the focus remains on rehabilitation and fair treatment of inmates, rather than profit. Historical examples include the widespread protests against private prisons in the United States, which led to the Obama administration's decision to phase out the use of private prisons at the federal level in 2016.

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

This answer aligns with the social activism ideology, as it highlights the concerns about private prisons sacrificing quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit. Examples of this can be seen in the 2016 US Department of Justice report, which found that private prisons had higher rates of safety and security incidents compared to public prisons, and numerous investigative reports exposing poor conditions and mistreatment of inmates in private facilities.

Neutral

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

While some social activists may see strict regulation as a potential compromise, many would still prefer public control of prisons to ensure that the focus remains on rehabilitation and fair treatment of inmates. Strict regulation may not be enough to prevent the negative consequences of privatization, as seen in the 2016 US Department of Justice report.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas is a step in the right direction, but social activists would likely still prefer public control of prisons to ensure that the focus remains on rehabilitation and fair treatment of inmates. The profit motive of private prisons may still lead to poor conditions and mistreatment of inmates, even without occupancy quotas.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Social activism generally opposes privatization of public services, especially prisons, due to concerns about profit motives leading to poor conditions and mistreatment of inmates. 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.
