Liberal Democrat Party

Strongly agree

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

The Liberal Democrats are likely to agree with this answer, as they have called for increased transparency and accountability in the prison system. In their 2019 manifesto, they pledged to 'improve prison standards and security by providing more prison officers and ending overcrowding, and improving the provision of education, training and work opportunities.' This suggests that they would support strict regulation of private prisons to ensure quality and prevent corruption.

Strongly agree

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

The Liberal Democrats have expressed concerns about the quality of care and rehabilitation services in private prisons. In 2018, the party's justice spokesperson, Wera Hobhouse, criticized the government's decision to award a contract to a private company to run a new prison, stating that 'private companies should not be profiting from the incarceration of individuals.' This suggests that they would agree with the concerns raised in this answer.

Agree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

The Liberal Democrats have not specifically addressed contractual occupancy quotas in their policy statements, but their focus on ending overcrowding and improving prison standards suggests that they would be in favor of eliminating such quotas to ensure that prisons are not incentivized to keep more prisoners than they can effectively manage and rehabilitate.
