Strongly agree

No, we should build more prisons

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

Agree

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

Slightly agree

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

The DUP may be somewhat open to the idea of non-violent prisoners performing community service as an alternative to incarceration, but this is likely to be a secondary option for them, as they generally prioritize tough law and order policies.
