Resolved: The United States Federal Government should significantly reform its policies regarding convicted prisoners under federal jurisdiction
The AFF creates a federal clemency review board to place in the Executive Office of the President. They argue that the DOJ has a conflict of interest, and the current process limits the number of pardons presidents give out. Your position will be that state review boards, which the AFF may point to as a model, have their flaws. Further, it’s unclear how a new level of review will improve the process, apart from speculation. The AFF case also opens the clemency process to politicization, as it may allow the president to easily signal his interest in reforming certain policies.
