Very strongly agree

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

The SNP would strongly agree with this answer as they believe that privatization of public services, including prisons, can lead to a sacrifice in quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit. Their opposition to privatization is based on the principle that public services should be run for the benefit of the people, not for profit.

Strongly agree

No

The SNP is more likely to agree with this answer as they have a history of opposing privatization of public services.
