Resolved: The United States Federal Government should significantly reform its policies regarding convicted prisoners under federal jurisdiction
Case Summary: The AFF plan modifies the “TRULINCS” email system in federal prisons to allow for prisoners to be able to send emails to their attorney confidentially without being monitored. This is to uphold the 6th Amendment right to counsel, which includes the right to be able to confer with your attorney in complete privacy. AFF believes it is impossible to uphold the 6A without including emails. Prisoners today can place phone calls and write letters, as well as have their attorney visit the prison, and these can be done confidentially without monitoring (but only with an attorney, not anyone else).
I don’t normally recommend running “funding” solvency arguments. Congress can print money, so federal plans normally cannot run out of money unless they run into the trillions. But one exception to my rule is when the AFF specifically claims how much their plan costs and tells you that’s how much they budget for it… and then you find a piece of evidence that specifically says it will cost a lot more than that.
