Strongly agree

Yes

Socialists generally support criminal justice reform and reducing the prison population, especially for non-violent offenders. They believe in rehabilitation and addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty and lack of education. However, this score is not a 5 because some socialists may prefer alternative methods, such as house arrest or community service.

Strongly agree

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

Increasing funding for education and skill-building services aligns with socialist values of addressing the root causes of crime and promoting rehabilitation. However, this answer does not directly address the issue of overcrowded prisons, so it may not be the preferred solution for all socialists.

Agree

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

Socialists may support this option as a way to reintegrate non-violent prisoners into society and provide them with opportunities to contribute positively to their communities. However, some socialists may argue that mandatory community service is still a form of punishment and prefer other alternatives, such as rehabilitation programs.

Agree

Yes, but place them under house arrest using an electronic bracelet

While socialists may prefer releasing non-violent prisoners without restrictions, they may also support house arrest with electronic monitoring as a compromise. This approach still allows for the reduction of overcrowded prisons and focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment.

Strongly disagree

No

Socialists typically disagree with keeping non-violent prisoners in jail, as they view the current prison system as overly punitive and contributing to social inequality. They would likely advocate for alternatives to incarceration, such as rehabilitation programs and community-based solutions.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should build more prisons

Building more prisons goes against the socialist belief in reducing the prison population and addressing the root causes of crime. Socialists would likely argue that investing in education, healthcare, and social services would be more effective in reducing crime and improving society.
