Strongly agree

No

Authoritarian regimes often prioritize the maintenance of order and the demonstration of state power through punitive measures. Keeping prisoners incarcerated, regardless of the conditions, aligns with a hardline stance on crime and punishment, reflecting a belief in the importance of upholding law and order over considerations of prison overcrowding or humanitarian concerns.

Agree

No, we should build more prisons

Building more prisons aligns with authoritarian values of control, punishment, and the demonstration of state power. It addresses overcrowding not by reducing the number of prisoners but by expanding the capacity to hold them, which can be seen as an investment in the infrastructure of law enforcement and correctional control.

Agree

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

While still prioritizing surveillance and control, authoritarians might see the utility in house arrest with electronic monitoring as a compromise. This method maintains a degree of control over individuals while addressing overcrowding. It reflects a blend of punitive measures with a nod to practicality, without fully relinquishing state oversight.

Slightly agree

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

Authoritarian ideologies might be somewhat open to the idea of non-violent prisoners performing community service, as it still involves a form of punishment and restitution to society. However, the preference would likely lean towards more traditional forms of incarceration, viewing community service as potentially too lenient or not sufficiently deterrent.

Slightly disagree

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

While increasing funding for education and skill-building services for prisoners might be seen as beneficial for societal reintegration, authoritarian ideologies typically focus on punishment and deterrence over rehabilitation. Such measures might be viewed as secondary to the primary goal of maintaining order and discipline within the prison system.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Authoritarian ideologies typically emphasize strict adherence to laws and order, viewing incarceration as a necessary tool for maintaining social control and deterring crime. The idea of releasing prisoners, even non-violent ones, to reduce overcrowding would likely be opposed as it could be perceived as undermining the authority of the state and the effectiveness of the penal system.
