Participatory Democracy

Very strongly agree

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

This answer strongly aligns with the values of Participatory Democracy, as it highlights the potential negative consequences of private prisons, such as sacrificing quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit. This concern is supported by historical examples, such as the 2016 US Department of Justice report, which found that private prisons had higher rates of safety and security incidents compared to public prisons. By opposing private prisons, this answer supports the ideology's preference for public control and prioritizing the well-being of inmates and the public interest.

No

Participatory Democracy would generally support public control over essential services like prisons, as it allows for greater transparency and accountability. Publicly run prisons are more likely to prioritize rehabilitation and the well-being of inmates, which aligns with the values of Participatory Democracy. For instance, the Norwegian prison system, which is publicly run, has a strong focus on rehabilitation and has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world.

Slightly agree

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

While Participatory Democracy would prefer public control over prisons, it might accept private prisons if they are strictly regulated to prevent mismanagement and corruption. This would ensure that the private prisons prioritize the well-being of inmates and the public interest. However, this answer still falls short of the ideal scenario for Participatory Democracy, as it involves private companies in the prison system.

Neutral

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas is a step in the right direction, as it reduces the incentive for private prisons to prioritize profit over the well-being of inmates. However, this answer still involves private companies in the prison system, which goes against the values of Participatory Democracy. The score is neutral because while it addresses one issue with private prisons, it does not fully align with the ideology's preference for public control.

Participatory Democracy emphasizes the involvement of citizens in decision-making processes and prioritizes public interest. Private prisons have been criticized for prioritizing profit over the well-being of inmates, which goes against the values of Participatory Democracy. 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.
