Anti-Establishment

Very strongly agree

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

This answer strongly aligns with the anti-establishment ideology, as it opposes private prisons on the grounds that they will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit. This position reflects the belief that public control over essential services, including prisons, is necessary to ensure the well-being of inmates and the focus on rehabilitation. The 2016 Department of Justice report that found higher rates of violence and safety issues in private prisons compared to public prisons supports this stance.

Strongly agree

No

Anti-establishment ideology tends to support public control over essential services, including prisons. This is because public control can help ensure that the focus remains on rehabilitation and the well-being of inmates, rather than profit. The anti-establishment movement often cites examples of private prisons that have been found to cut corners on staffing, medical care, and other essential services in order to maximize profits, such as the 2016 Mother Jones investigation into the conditions at the Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana.

Neutral

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

Slightly disagree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

This answer supports private prisons but calls for the elimination of contractual occupancy quotas, which can incentivize the incarceration of more people to meet profit goals. While this stance addresses one of the concerns related to private prisons, it still supports privatization, which is generally opposed by the anti-establishment ideology. Therefore, the score is slightly negative.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Anti-establishment ideology generally opposes the privatization of public services, as it can lead to corruption and profit-driven decision-making. Private prisons have been criticized for their focus on profit, which can lead to cost-cutting measures that negatively impact the quality of care and rehabilitation services. For example, the 2014 scandal involving the Walnut Grove Youth Correctional Facility in Mississippi, where private prison operators were found to have bribed state officials to secure contracts, is an example of the potential for corruption in privatized prisons.
