BONUS! NCFCA Policy Debate: Phone Calls (NEG)

Resolved: The United States Federal Government should significantly reform its policies regarding convicted prisoners under federal jurisdiction

The AFF plan claims prisoners aren’t able to communicate with the outside world enough. Phone calls are too expensive.  Plan makes it easier for them to call or communicate.  Problem:  Evidence about prisoners getting ripped off by abusively high phone rates is talking about States, not the federal government.  The federal system works fine and only charges 6 cents a minute.  Since they’re only allowed 15 minute calls, that’s less than a dollar.
