European People’s Party

Agree

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

This position aligns with the EPP's general approach of combining market mechanisms with strong regulatory frameworks to ensure that private sector activities are aligned with public interest and ethical standards. The party has historically supported the idea that private sector efficiency can be harnessed for public goods, provided there is strict oversight to prevent abuses and ensure service quality.

Agree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas could be seen by the EPP as a necessary measure to prevent perverse incentives in the prison system, such as the prioritization of incarceration rates over justice and rehabilitation. This stance would reflect the party's broader commitment to ensuring that market-based solutions do not undermine fundamental rights and public policy objectives.

Agree

No

Given the EPP's commitment to human rights and the rule of law, as outlined in their policy documents and public statements, there might be a recognition within the party that the operation of prisons is a core sovereign function that should be under state control to ensure accountability, transparency, and the protection of inmates' rights. However, their market-oriented approach might prevent a full rejection of private sector involvement.

Slightly agree

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

While the EPP might share concerns about the potential for private prisons to prioritize profit over the welfare and rehabilitation of inmates, their general support for private sector involvement in public services, under appropriate regulatory conditions, suggests that they would not fully endorse a blanket rejection of private prisons. Instead, they would likely advocate for reforms to address these concerns within a framework that allows for some level of private sector participation.

Disagree

Yes

The European People's Party (EPP), being a center-right political group, generally supports market-oriented economic policies and might be open to the idea of private sector involvement in various sectors. However, the privatization of prisons is a contentious issue that involves ethical considerations and concerns about human rights, which might lead the EPP to be cautious about fully endorsing such a model without stringent safeguards.
