Resolved: The United States Federal Government should significantly reform its policies regarding convicted prisoners under federal jurisdiction
WARNING #1: This NEG brief deals with some sensitive and mature issues involving sexuality, gender roles, rape and violence. It was not our choice to bring up this topic. This NEG brief is in response to an existing Affirmative case written by someone else outside of Monument Publishing and being run in the NCFCA debate league. Students need to be able to argue against this case. If this topic is offensive to you, throw away this brief and don’t read any further. But understand that you will still have to debate this topic if the other team brings it up. You would be better off having this NEG brief than not having it, since the more often this case is defeated, the less often it will be used. I have written this brief in such a way that I would have allowed my homeschooled daughters to read it when they were of high school age. Your standards may differ, so make your own decision. If you don’t want students exposed at all to any material of this nature, you should probably drop out of team policy debate, at least for this season. Prisons are bad ugly nasty places and so bad ugly nasty things are going to come up in debates about prisoners. Your debate league voted to debate those topics. Neither Monument Publishing nor Coach Vance are responsible for that choice.
WARNING #2: This brief discusses arguments regarding gender theory and feminism that you probably don’t agree with. The point of the brief is not that you personally agree with these, but that the Affirmative’s experts do. And since their experts say certain beliefs about feminism and gender theory are part of the solution they advocate, the Affirmative needs to advocate those theories in order to meet the standards of their own evidence. The issue is not that the Negative advocates those theories. It’s that the Affirmative DOESN’T advocate them that is the problem.
Case Summary: The AFF implements a bill modeled after a New Jersey proposal to prevent retaliation upon prisoners who report sexual abuse by guards. Status Quo federal law already does everything in that law. AFF forgot to check whether there are any existing policies – they just heard that “abuses are occurring so we need a law!” That’s like saying murders are occurring, so we need to make murder illegal.
