Agree

No

Given UKIP's emphasis on strict law enforcement and a robust approach to crime, they are likely to oppose measures that could be perceived as soft on crime, such as releasing prisoners early.

Agree

No, we should build more prisons

Building more prisons aligns with a tough stance on crime, which is consistent with UKIP's law and order policies. However, the financial implications of such an approach might temper their enthusiasm.

Slightly agree

Yes, but place them under house arrest using an electronic bracelet

While UKIP generally supports tough measures on crime, the idea of placing non-violent offenders under house arrest with electronic monitoring might be seen as a compromise, balancing the need for punishment with practical solutions to prison overcrowding.

Neutral

Yes, but they must perform community service on a daily basis

This approach combines punishment with rehabilitation, which might appeal to some within UKIP. However, it does not directly align with any specific policy stance historically advocated by the party.

Slightly disagree

No, but we should increase funding to offer education and skill building services for prisoners

While UKIP supports strong law and order policies, the focus on increasing funding for education and skill-building services for prisoners may not align closely with their primary policy focuses, which have traditionally centered more on immigration and the EU.

Strongly disagree

Yes

UKIP has traditionally focused on law and order policies, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong stance on crime. Releasing non-violent prisoners to reduce overcrowding may be seen as compromising on their law and order stance.
