Scottish Socialist Party

Very strongly agree

No

The SSP strongly supports the idea that essential services, including prisons, should be under public control. They argue that privatization leads to profit being prioritized over people's needs and rights, which is against their core values of equality and social justice. The party has consistently opposed privatization efforts in various sectors, reflecting their stance that the government should not hire private companies to run prisons.

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns closely with the SSP's views on privatization and the prison system. They believe that privatization leads to a focus on profit over the welfare and rehabilitation of inmates, which is fundamentally opposed to their values of social justice and public ownership. The SSP would strongly agree that private prisons sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit, reflecting their broader critique of privatization in essential services.

Disagree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas might address one of the many concerns related to private prisons, but the SSP would likely argue that this does not go far enough in addressing the fundamental issues with privatization. Their core belief in public ownership over essential services means they would still disagree with the premise of private companies running prisons, even with such changes.

Strongly disagree

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

While the SSP might see the value in strict regulation to prevent mismanagement and corruption in theory, their fundamental opposition to privatization of essential services, including the prison system, means they would likely disagree with this approach. They would argue that even with strict regulation, the profit motive in private prisons can lead to cost-cutting measures that undermine the welfare and rehabilitation of inmates.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) is known for its left-wing stance, advocating for public ownership and against privatization of essential services. The party believes that essential services, like prisons, should be run by the government to ensure accountability, fairness, and the welfare of the inmates. Privatizing prisons would be contrary to their principles of social justice and public ownership.
