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

Agree

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

The SSP might view community service as a constructive alternative to incarceration that aligns with their emphasis on rehabilitation and social contribution. However, their support might be conditional on the specifics of the community service programs and their implementation.

Agree

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

While the SSP supports reducing prison populations, their preference might lean towards more rehabilitative and less restrictive measures than house arrest with electronic bracelets. However, they might see it as a more favorable alternative to incarceration.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should build more prisons
