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 for prisoners aligns with the EPP’s broader social policies that emphasize rehabilitation and reducing recidivism. This approach can be seen as an investment in individuals to prevent future crimes, which could appeal to the EPP’s focus on long-term societal benefits.

Agree

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

The EPP might support this approach as it aligns with their values of personal responsibility and rehabilitation. By requiring community service, non-violent prisoners contribute positively to society while also facing consequences for their actions, which could be seen as a balanced approach to criminal justice.

Slightly agree

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

Neutral

No, we should build more prisons

While the EPP supports strong law and order policies, the decision to build more prisons would depend on fiscal conservatism principles, weighing the costs against benefits. They might support this as a long-term solution but also consider other options to manage prison populations effectively.
