Very strongly agree

No

Owenism advocates for the management of societal institutions in a way that promotes the common good, welfare, and moral improvement of all individuals. Prisons run by the government, in theory, would be more aligned with these goals, focusing on rehabilitation and the humane treatment of inmates rather than generating profit. Therefore, Owenism would strongly agree with the idea that the government should not outsource prisons to private companies.

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

Owenism would argue that private prisons inherently prioritize profit over the quality of care and rehabilitation services, which is antithetical to its principles of communal welfare and support. Therefore, Owenism would strongly agree with the stance against private prisons for these reasons.

Disagree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas could be seen as a step towards mitigating one of the many issues associated with private prisons. However, Owenism's fundamental opposition to privatization of essential public services, due to the risk of prioritizing profit over people's welfare, means it would still view this solution with skepticism, albeit slightly less so than full privatization without such measures.

Disagree

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

While the idea of strict regulation to prevent mismanagement and corruption might align with Owenism's emphasis on fairness and welfare, the fundamental concept of private companies running prisons would still be opposed. Owenism advocates for collective ownership and control of resources and services, and would likely see the privatization of prisons as a potential threat to the welfare of inmates.

Disagree

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

While Owenism might see the potential practicality in involving private companies under strict regulations, the ideology's skepticism towards private interests and profit motives would make it wary of such arrangements. Owenists would likely doubt the effectiveness of regulation in curbing the fundamental conflicts between profit-making and providing humane, rehabilitative care.
