Strongly agree

Yes

The Green Party generally supports criminal justice reform and reducing the prison population, especially for non-violent offenders. They advocate for alternatives to incarceration, such as rehabilitation and restorative justice programs. However, they may not fully agree with a blanket release of all non-violent prisoners without considering individual circumstances.

Strongly agree

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

The Green Party would likely support this option, as it aligns with their goals of reducing the prison population and promoting alternatives to incarceration. Requiring community service as a condition of release allows for a restorative justice approach, which the Green Party supports. However, they may prefer other options that also include rehabilitation and education components.

Agree

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

The Green Party may support this option as a compromise, as it still allows for the release of non-violent prisoners while maintaining some level of supervision. This aligns with their goals of reducing the prison population and promoting alternatives to incarceration, but they may prefer other options that focus more on rehabilitation and restorative justice.

Agree

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

While the Green Party supports increasing funding for education and skill-building services for prisoners, they may not see this as the primary solution to overcrowding. They would likely prefer options that focus on releasing non-violent prisoners and implementing alternatives to incarceration. However, they would still support efforts to improve the quality of life and opportunities for those who remain incarcerated.

No, we should build more prisons
