K Capitalism

Well-meaning prison reforms are driven by the agendas of private industry. Solutions to mass incarceration that fail to center capitalism as the underlying cause only replicate its violence in alternative forms.

Mohler (Jeremy Mohler, “Keep private industry out of prisoner reform: Column,” USA Today; Jan. 2017)

"But there is...changed its name."

The prison industrial complex was created and sustained by cheap human labor – the aff’s calls for reform will inevitably be coopted by corporations that profit from its exploitable labor.

Chediac (Joyce Chediac, “Punishment for profit: The economics of mass incarceration,” Workers World; May 2015)

"Because for a...$50,000 to $60,000.”

Class domination erupts in displaced forms of violence such as racism and sexism and obstructs any progress in overcoming these dominations.

Marsh (James L., Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University, “Critique, Action, and Liberation,” pp. 282-283; 1995)

"Next, we must...as precapitalist sexism."

Thus, the role of the ballot is to vote for the debater who best methodologically activates class consciousness.

Class consciousness enables the revolution against capitalism’s social totality. This requires evaluating the debate as a dialectical materialist and inquiring into why the 1AC is historically necessary—Marx’s labor theory of value is the best possible description.

Tumino 1 (Stephen Tumino, professor of English at the University of Pittsburgh, “What is Orthodox Marxism and Why it Matters Now More Than Ever Before,” Red Critique; 2001)

"Any effective political...is the rule."

The alternative is to disrupt systems of capital through a lens of Orthodox Marxism. Vote negative in favor of classist politics – we should instead embrace the historical necessity of communism. The aff is irrelevant in the grand scheme of capitalism, and revolutionary theory is a prior question.

Tumino 2 (Stephen Tumino, “Is Occupy Wall Street Communist,” Red Critique 14; 2012)

"Leaving aside that...end inequality forever."

K Prison Abolition

Prison is not just a physical location, but the carceral logics that script criminality and inhumanity on certain bodies. These coercive relations structure society and are legitimized when prison is theorized as existing largely in the physical infrastructure of the court room.

The aff’s call to abolish plea bargains is an ineffective PR strategy designed to prop up notions of a just and humane system – it pushes negotiations underground, justifies growth of courts, and provides legal authority with irresponsible discretion over who gets prison sentences and what the nature of those prison sentences are.

Weninger (Robert A. Weninger, “The Abolition of Plea Bargaining: A Case Study of El Paso County, Texas,” UCLA Law Review 266, pg. 304)

"This Part of...cases, like burglary."

Reforms in the criminal justice system are only a smokescreen for expansion of state tactics that seek to liquidate certain populations – they operate as an appearance of liberalism that only shifts the problem elsewhere.

Davis and Rodriguez (Angela Davis teaches in the History of Consciousness program at the University of California and has been actively involved in prison-related campaigns and Dylan Rodriguez is an Assistant Professor at University of California - Riverside and was involved in the formation of Critical Resistance, "The Challenge of Prison Abolition: A Conversation"; 2000)

"California gets called...of living otherwise."

Futile efforts by the U.S. establishment left and liberal reformists prolong domestic warfare, which locks in a continual violence towards people of color and prevents effective mobilization against institutions.

Rodriguez 1 (Dylan Rodriguez, Assistant Professor at University of California Riverside, “Abolition Now!: Ten Years of Strategy and Struggle Against the Prison Industrial Complex,” pp. 93-100; 2008)

"We are collectively...silence or passiveness."

Thus, the role of the ballot is to vote for the debater who best methodologically dismantles carceral logic. This requires a radical departure from existing strategies that fixate solely on negotiating conditions of domestic warfare—instead, we should situate ourselves entirely outside of its domain and embrace an abolitionist praxis.

Rodriguez 2 (Dylan Rodriguez, Professor of the Department of Ethnic Studies at UC Riverside, PhD and M.A. degrees in Ethnic Studies from University of California, "The Disorientation of the Teaching Act: Abolition as Pedagogical Position," The Radical Teacher, No. 88; 2010)

"Abolitionist Position and...of pedagogical audacity."

The alternative is to engage in critical abolitionist pedagogy. Vote negative to defy the limits of possibility and nurture self-identification through a rupture of educational spaces.

Stanley (Eric A. Stanley, Ph.D. in History of Consciousness, UC Santa Cruz, UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UCSD and Nat Smith, “Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex,” AK Press; 2011)

"This stuff is ...to wish for."

Framework

Inequality creates flawed epistemic conclusions, making normative decision making impossible.

Adopting the perspective of the oppressed is the only way to account for dominant ideologies that skew our thought processes.

ADVOCACY: I contend that Resolved: Plea bargaining ought to be abolished in the United States criminal justice system. I defend the resolution as a general principle. Will clarify/spec in cross ex if necessary.

Solvency

Plea bargains constitute legal extortion on the part of the judge and prosecutor. 90 of criminal charges are plead out; destroying the effectiveness of the CJS by denying individuals right to trial. An abolition of the use of plea bargains will reduce the body count of mass incarceration and ameliorate harm caused by the CJS.

Reduced trial costs and perception of the CJS garnered through plea’s fuels mass incarceration and creates a self-replicating norm of racial inequality surrounding the institution of plea bargains 3 reasons.

Cornell University 2009

Plea bargains account …in the first place.

Differential racial treatment conducive to pleas destroys effectiveness of the CJS. Perception affects whether pleas are taken which means as long as the CJS is perceived as screwing over blacks and plea bargains exist, than blacks will take worse plea’s due to pessimism towards the effectiveness of the trial process, the aff is key.
