Party of European Socialists

Very strongly agree

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

This statement aligns closely with the PES's principles regarding the management of prisons. They would strongly agree that private prisons can lead to a sacrifice in the quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit, which contradicts their values of ensuring human rights and public welfare are prioritized within the penal system.

Strongly agree

No

PES tends to favor government responsibility for sectors that impact citizens' rights and welfare, such as the penal system. They would likely argue that the state should maintain control over prisons to ensure the focus remains on rehabilitation and the safeguarding of inmates' rights, rather than profit.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas could be seen as a step in the right direction by reducing one of the major criticisms of private prisons. However, the Party of European Socialists would likely still be skeptical about the fundamental idea of private companies running prisons due to broader concerns about accountability and the prioritization of profit over rehabilitation.

Disagree

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

While acknowledging the potential for private sector involvement, PES would likely maintain reservations about private companies running prisons, even with strict regulations. Their concern would stem from the inherent risks of mismanagement and corruption, as well as the challenge of ensuring that private prisons adhere to high standards of inmate care and rehabilitation.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally supports public control over essential services, including the prison system, to ensure accountability, fairness, and the protection of human rights. Privatization of prisons could conflict with these principles by prioritizing profit over rehabilitation and care.
