1.) Do you feel prisoners should share cells depending on their risk of violence? Yes

3.) Should prisoners be put into solitary confinement for up to a week for bad behaviour? Yes, and longer where necessary (eg. Bronson)
4.) Prisoners should be forced to do work outside of prison like clearing ditches by the road? No, your just deserts are the sentence
5.) Should prison food be as bad as the average NHS meal? Yes
6.) Should prisoners have phones or personal TV's or gaming equipment? Yes, as privileges
7.) Should there be harsher prison sentencing? No, but sentencing guidelines should be clearer or cases reported more widely, judges in Liverpool have too little idea what sentences judges in Norwich are handing down.
8.) Should we have more prisons? No
9.) Should prisoners be given the vote? Yes, if they are due to be released within the term of the next Parliament
10.) Who are you planning on voting for? Lab

I cant believe you guys are saying lets give them TV or whatever. What even? If I got put in prison with my laptop or a TV I wouldnt even mind being in prison - free food and no responsibilities, sit in my room and be on my laptop or watch tv. Sounds like an ideal life to me!
What I don't get is politicians saying if we take their TV's away from them they will start rioting? What the hell!? You are being held ransom by prisoners behind bars? Who cares if they riot leave them to it until they start starving and giving up... and their sentences will be doubled.

You give someone something you can take it away again. Simple. They behave well they get a TV, they break any rules then they lose it. As well as this, people do leave prison. Ideally you don't want to throw them out into the world more ****ed up then they are when they left. All that leads to is further crime. If a brutal approach to prison worked then the Victorians would have had the lowest crime rate in history.

10.) Who are you planning on voting for?
1) Sure, dont see why not.
2) What's the point?
3) Extended periods (48 hours + ) of solitary confinement have been shown to cause significant mental trauma even I otherwise healthy people. So no.
4) No. Its basic slave labour.
5) False question. Food in both places should be 'good'.
6) I dont really mind.
7) No. Keeping people in an ineffective system longer will not make the system more effective.
8) Yes. But only because current prisons are overcrowded. Generally would like to see fewer prisons and less people on custodial sentences.
9) Self-determination is a basic human right. So yes.
10) not voting.

10.) Who are you planning on voting for?
1) Yes. Prisoners need to learn how to interact with other people properly.
2) I don't see why prisoners shouldn't get to decide what they wear.
3) If at all possible, avoid solitary confinement. It breaks people.
4) The idea of work as punishment is appealing. I have no problem with it. But don't go the North Korean route and force people to work until they die from exhaustion and/or starvation.
5) Prison food should be good, and so should hospital food. If it's one or the other, prioritise hospital food.
6) Prisoners should not be allowed any kind of communication device which isn't tapped and controlled by the authorities. Also, they do not deserve luxury hedonistic entertainment such as gaming consoles or TVs; they should go out into the real world and learn to appreciate the beauty of nature.
7) Yes. Violent criminals should receive harsher sentences. At least 30 years for unprovoked assault, in my opinion, which can later be reduced on good behaviour.
8) Yes, if required.
9) Absolutely not. Having the right to vote and being required to be incarcerated are mutually exclusive.
10) It is a secret ballot.

4) No. Its basic slave labour.
Is community service "slave labour"?
Slavery implies that the enslaved are innocent.

Slavery implies that the enslaved are innocent.
The question did not mention community service, it said work.
Slavery implies no such judgement on a persons innocence of any particular crime.

What is the ethical (or other) difference between work as punishment, and community service?
