ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns well with the NDP's progressive stance on criminal justice reform and their focus on rehabilitation and community engagement. Requiring non-violent prisoners to perform community service on a daily basis would help reintegrate them into society and provide a constructive alternative to incarceration.

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

The NDP would likely support this answer as it combines their progressive stance on criminal justice reform with a focus on public safety. By placing non-violent prisoners under house arrest with electronic monitoring, they can reduce overcrowding while still ensuring that released individuals are held accountable for their actions.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should build more prisons

They believe in addressing the root causes of crime and investing in social programs, education, and rehabilitation services to reduce the need for incarceration in the first place. Building more prisons would not align with their policy priorities.
