Resolved: The United States Federal Government should significantly reform its policies regarding convicted prisoners under federal jurisdiction
Case Summary: The AFF plan does at the federal level a pilot program that was tried in Brooklyn, New York called Community And Law Enforcement Resources Together (ComALERT). It’s a “re-entry” program; that is, it is designed to aid prisoners who are transitioning out towards the end of their sentence to make sure they successfully re-enter society. ComALERT had about 1 study that said it might work but needs more study, so solvency is doubtful. You can’t prove anything from a single study because there are a lot of confounding factors (see Solvency #6), including selection bias, which is a specific problem with ComALERT. Worse, ComALERT is for those released from prison, so it’s untopical.
