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

The SNP has consistently advocated for increased funding for education and skill-building services for prisoners. They believe in a focus on rehabilitation and reducing reoffending rates. In 2018, the Scottish government, led by the SNP, announced increased funding for prison education services, demonstrating their commitment to this approach.

Strongly agree

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

The SNP has supported community-based sentences as an alternative to imprisonment. In 2019, the Scottish government, led by the SNP, introduced a presumption against short prison sentences, encouraging the use of community-based sentences instead. This suggests they would be in favor of non-violent prisoners performing community service as an alternative to imprisonment.

Strongly agree

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

The SNP has shown support for alternatives to imprisonment, such as electronic monitoring. In 2016, the Scottish government, led by the SNP, announced plans to expand the use of electronic monitoring as an alternative to custody. This suggests they would be more likely to support this option for non-violent prisoners.
