Agree

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

While the Democratic party generally opposes private prisons, some Democrats may be open to the idea of private prisons if they are strictly regulated to prevent mismanagement and corruption. However, this position is less common within the party, as many Democrats prefer to focus on ending the use of private prisons altogether.

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

While this position may be more palatable to some Democrats than unregulated private prisons, it is still not the preferred stance of the party, which generally seeks to end the use of private prisons altogether.
