Description

This House Would Allow Prisoners to Volunteer for Drug Trials for Lighter Sentences in US

Prisoner: a person legally held in prison as a punishment for crimes they have committed or while awaiting trial

Drug Trials: a subset of clinical trials -- a controlled experiment involving a defined set of human subjects, having a clinical event as an outcome measure, and intended to yield scientifically valid information about the efficacy or safety of a drug, vaccine, etc..

The term sentence in law refers to punishment that was actually ordered or could be ordered by a trial court in a criminal procedure. If a sentence is reduced to a less harsh punishment, then the sentence is said to have been **mitigated** or commuted. For example, a murder charge may be lessened to a manslaughter charge.

I'll see, but don't expect anything too detailed, I'd have to be concise

Up for some analysis?

bump

also, I meant 1.8 billion$ spend in expenditure costs, not 1.8 billion prisoners. Mind got a little word spaghetti there.

*sweats* I know absolutely nothing about privatized prisons. I just know science well lol

@Undefeatable

As someone who loathes privatised prison and Reaganomics, I already have a good sense how to frame this debate from the Con position, it just has even more points to it in Con's favour than that.
