TUSC Party

Very strongly agree

No

TUSC strongly supports the idea that essential services, such as the prison system, should be run by the government rather than private entities. Their stance is rooted in the belief that the justice system should focus on rehabilitation and public safety, goals that they argue are incompatible with the profit motives of private companies. TUSC's broader political ideology, which emphasizes social ownership and workers' rights, naturally aligns with opposition to privatization in all forms, including in the prison sector.

Very strongly agree

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

This statement aligns perfectly with TUSC's views on the privatization of prisons. TUSC believes that private prisons inherently prioritize profit over the quality of care and rehabilitation services, which should be the primary focus of the prison system. Their platform advocates for public ownership and control of essential services, including prisons, to ensure that these services are run in the interest of public safety and rehabilitation, rather than for profit.

Disagree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas might address one of the specific criticisms TUSC has regarding private prisons, as these quotas can create perverse incentives to fill prisons. However, TUSC's core objection is to the privatization of the prison system itself, not just the terms of contracts. Therefore, while this measure might be seen as a minor improvement, TUSC would likely still disagree with the premise of privatization.

Strongly disagree

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

While TUSC might acknowledge the theoretical argument that private companies could run prisons if they were strictly regulated, their fundamental opposition to privatization of public services means they would still largely disagree with this statement. TUSC would argue that even with strict regulations, the profit motive could lead to corners being cut, ultimately endangering the welfare of prisoners and staff, and undermining the goals of rehabilitation and justice.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) is fundamentally opposed to the privatization of public services, including the prison system. TUSC's platform is built on the belief that public services should be run in the interest of the public good, not for profit. The privatization of prisons, in their view, leads to cost-cutting measures that can compromise safety, rehabilitation, and workers' rights, which contradicts their core principles.
