Humanism

Strongly agree

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

Many humanists would agree with the statement that private prisons will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit. They might point to examples of private prisons that have been found to provide substandard living conditions and inadequate rehabilitation programs, such as the Hutto Residential Center in Texas, which faced numerous allegations of abuse and neglect. Humanists would likely argue that the government should prioritize the welfare and rehabilitation of prisoners over profit, and that this is best achieved by keeping prisons under public control.

Agree

No

Many humanists would argue that the government should be responsible for running prisons, as this would prioritize the welfare and rehabilitation of prisoners over profit. They might point to examples of private prisons that have been found to provide substandard living conditions, such as the Walnut Grove Youth Correctional Facility in Mississippi, which was eventually closed due to numerous reports of abuse and neglect.

Agree

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

Some humanists might be open to the idea of private companies running prisons, as long as there are strict regulations in place to prevent mismanagement and corruption. They might argue that this approach could potentially lead to more efficient and innovative prison management, while still ensuring that the welfare and rehabilitation of prisoners are prioritized. However, they would likely still have concerns about the potential for profit motives to compromise the quality of care and rehabilitation services.

Slightly agree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Humanists might see some merit in allowing private companies to run prisons if contractual occupancy quotas are eliminated, as this could potentially reduce the incentive for private prisons to lobby for harsher sentencing policies. However, they would likely still have concerns about the potential for profit motives to compromise the quality of care and rehabilitation services, and might prefer a more comprehensive approach to regulating private prisons.

Disagree

Yes

Humanism emphasizes the value and agency of human beings and generally prefers solutions that prioritize human welfare and dignity. While some humanists might see potential benefits in private companies running prisons, many would be concerned about the potential for profit motives to compromise the quality of care and rehabilitation services. There have been cases, such as the 'Kids for Cash' scandal in Pennsylvania, where private prison companies have been involved in unethical practices.
