Anti-Austerity

Very strongly agree

No

Anti-austerity supporters strongly believe in keeping public services, such as prisons, under government control. They argue that privatization can lead to a focus on profit over the welfare of inmates and the quality of rehabilitation services. The anti-austerity movement points to examples like the Walnut Grove Youth Correctional Facility in Mississippi, which was closed in 2016 due to allegations of abuse and neglect under private management.

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with the anti-austerity belief that private prisons prioritize profit over the quality of care and rehabilitation services. They argue that privatization can lead to cost-cutting measures that negatively impact inmate welfare and rehabilitation outcomes. Examples like the 2017 Mother Jones investigation into the Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana, which exposed poor conditions and inadequate medical care under private management, support this view.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas might be seen as a positive step by anti-austerity supporters, as it reduces the incentive for private prisons to focus on profit over inmate welfare. However, they would still prefer that prisons remain under government control and would likely view this option as a compromise rather than an ideal solution.

Disagree

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

While anti-austerity supporters would prefer that prisons remain under government control, they might be somewhat open to the idea of private prisons if they are strictly regulated. However, they would still be skeptical of the effectiveness of regulation in preventing mismanagement and corruption, as seen in the case of the HMP Birmingham prison in the UK, which was taken back under government control in 2018 due to poor conditions and management by a private company.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anti-austerity ideology opposes privatization of public services, including prisons. They believe that privatization leads to cost-cutting measures that can negatively impact the quality of services and the well-being of inmates. For example, the 2014 scandal at the Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre in the UK, where a private company was found to have mistreated young offenders, supports this view.
