Libertarian Socialism

Very strongly agree

No

Libertarian socialism supports the idea that essential services, including prisons, should be managed by the government or community-based organizations. They argue that this approach prioritizes the well-being and rehabilitation of prisoners over profit. Examples of successful government-run prisons include those in Norway, which have a strong focus on rehabilitation and have some of the lowest recidivism rates in the world.

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

Libertarian socialism strongly agrees with the idea that private prisons sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit. They argue that the profit motive leads to cost-cutting measures that result in poor conditions, abuse, and a lack of focus on rehabilitation. Examples include the numerous reports of abuse and neglect in private prisons, such as the East Mississippi Correctional Facility, which faced a lawsuit over inhumane conditions and inadequate mental health care.

Disagree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas might be seen as a small improvement by libertarian socialists, as it would reduce the incentive for private prisons to push for higher incarceration rates. However, they would still argue that the profit motive in private prisons leads to poor conditions and a focus on incarceration over rehabilitation, making this solution insufficient.

Disagree

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

While libertarian socialism would prefer that prisons not be privatized, they might see strict regulation as a lesser evil compared to unregulated private prisons. However, they would still argue that the profit motive inherent in private companies would lead to attempts to cut corners and undermine regulations, as seen in cases like the Kids for Cash scandal in Pennsylvania, where judges received kickbacks for sending juveniles to private detention centers.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Libertarian socialism opposes the privatization of essential services, including prisons. They believe that private companies prioritize profit over the well-being and rehabilitation of prisoners, leading to poor conditions and a focus on incarceration rather than reform. Historical examples include the numerous reports of abuse and neglect in private prisons, such as the Walnut Grove Youth Correctional Facility in Mississippi, which was eventually closed due to inhumane conditions.
