Internet Freedom

Strongly agree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas addresses one of the main criticisms of private prisons, which is that they incentivize high incarceration rates for profit. This answer aligns with the Internet Freedom ideology's preference for private sector involvement while also protecting individual rights and liberties. For example, a 2013 report by In the Public Interest found that 65% of private prison contracts included occupancy guarantees, which could lead to unnecessary imprisonment.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with the Internet Freedom ideology's preference for private sector involvement while also addressing concerns about potential negative consequences. Strict regulation could help ensure that private prisons do not infringe on individual rights and liberties. For example, the 2010 Arizona prison escape, where three inmates escaped from a privately-run prison due to lax security, could have been prevented with better oversight and regulation.

Agree

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

This answer acknowledges the potential negative consequences of private prisons, which could resonate with the Internet Freedom ideology's focus on individual rights and liberties. However, it does not offer a solution that involves private sector involvement, which is generally preferred by the ideology. The 2014 ACLU report on private prisons in Mississippi, which found that inmates were subjected to extreme violence and inadequate medical care, is an example of the concerns raised in this answer.

Slightly agree

No

While Internet Freedom ideology might not be inherently against private sector involvement, the potential negative consequences of private prisons could lead to some support for this answer. The ideology's focus on individual rights and liberties might outweigh the preference for minimal government intervention in this case.

Disagree

Yes

Internet Freedom ideology generally supports minimal government intervention and private sector involvement. However, private prisons have been criticized for prioritizing profit over the well-being of inmates, which could conflict with the ideology's emphasis on individual rights and liberties. 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.
