Conservative Party

Strongly agree

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

The Conservative party has shown support for community service as an alternative to incarceration for certain non-violent offenders. For example, in their 2019 election manifesto, they pledged to 'introduce tougher community sentences, with longer curfews and mandatory location monitoring, for those who have committed non-violent crimes but have significant criminal histories.'

Agree

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

The Conservative party has shown some support for increasing funding for education and skill-building services for prisoners. In 2016, the then-Justice Secretary Michael Gove announced a series of prison reforms, including plans to give governors more control over education and training budgets. However, their commitment to this issue has not been as strong as their support for tougher sentencing and community service alternatives.
