Resolved: The United States Federal Government should significantly reform its policies regarding convicted prisoners under federal jurisdiction
Case Summary: The AFF plan passes the Private Prison Information Act, a bill currently pending in Congress but not yet enacted. It requires private (outsourced, contracted) prisons to provide the same level of reporting as is currently required of federal government prisons. It is possible that some of AFF’s evidence may be written before Oct 2017. That’s when a Supreme Court decision required private prisons to comply for the first time with FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act). Since then, anyone can file a FOIA request to get all the records that used to not be disclosed, and that are probably the things AFF is worried about. None of it matters anyway, since Biden announced in 2021 that he is phasing out federal use of privately contracted prisons. So the problem was either already solved in 2017 and/or becomes irrelevant since 2021 as their contracts expire and are not renewed.
