No

Socialists advocate for public ownership of essential services, including prisons. They argue that the government should be responsible for running prisons to ensure proper rehabilitation and care for inmates.

Disagree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas is a step in the right direction, but socialists would still argue that private prisons should not exist at all. They believe that the profit motive in private prisons leads to cost-cutting measures that negatively impact inmate care and rehabilitation, and that public ownership is the best solution.

Disagree

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

While some socialists might agree that regulation is necessary if private prisons exist, they would still prefer public ownership and control of prisons. Strict regulation does not address the fundamental issue of profit-driven motives in private prisons, which socialists believe is incompatible with the goals of rehabilitation and inmate well-being.
