MIT team debates MCI Norfolk inmates on the opioid epidemic
The MIT vs. MCI Norfolk debate, captured by Natasha Haverty, NPR.
From The Tech:
MIT’s debate team faced off against the team of Massachusetts Correctional Institution — Norfolk, a medium-security prison, about the opioid crisis Sept 23. MCI Norfolk extended the invitation to debate, and MIT accepted.
The debate centered around the resolution: “pharmaceutical companies should be held criminally responsible for their role as contributors to America’s current opioid crisis.”
The Norfolk team was assigned to support the stance, and the MIT team to oppose it.
