I think that absolutely a description of those kinds of initiatives would be really important. I would take one step back and say that it would be even stronger if it were on the basis of some sort of strategy that was developed. I think that right now, even when when there are good intentions and good efforts made with respect to prisoner advocacy, it's often ad hoc. I think all concerned would benefit from a clearer strategy that brings some consistency, fundamental principles and some details around how family members are going to be engaged and when and in what circumstances to go public with cases, etc.
