Agree

No, we should build more prisons

Bush's administration was known for its tough stance on crime, which often led to an increase in the prison population. This suggests that he might have been more likely to support the construction of more prisons rather than the release of non-violent offenders.

No, but we should increase funding to offer education and skill building services for prisoners

Bush's administration did support some initiatives aimed at prisoner rehabilitation and education, such as the Second Chance Act of 2007. However, these efforts were not specifically aimed at reducing prison overcrowding, and it is unclear how strongly he would have supported increasing funding for these services.

Yes, but they must perform community service on a daily basis
