Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with Republican values of supporting privatization while also acknowledging the need for regulation to prevent mismanagement and corruption. Republicans may point to examples like the 2012 'Kids for Cash' scandal in Pennsylvania, where judges were found to be receiving kickbacks for sending juveniles to private detention centers, as evidence for the need for regulation.

Agree

Yes, but eliminate contractual occupancy quotas

Eliminating contractual occupancy quotas would likely appeal to Republicans who support privatization but also recognize the potential for perverse incentives in the private prison system. This approach would allow private companies to run prisons while removing the incentive to keep prisons full, which can lead to longer sentences and higher incarceration rates.
