I can tell you that about 150 to 165 witnesses enter the program each year. Of those, the largest percentage by far are entering the program by going into prison. We have protective custody units, which are prisons within prisons, buildings within prisons, where we have only witnesses--approximately 70 cooperating prisoner witnesses in each unit--so they're not circulating out in our society.
As far as the rejection number goes, that's a difficult one to give because there are two ways of rejecting. One is informal, which is the most popular way, where the investigator or the U.S. attorney calls on the phone and says, “I have a case I'd like to present to you formally, but before I do that, would you accept this type of case?” and you say “No”. That's not counted anywhere, so we don't have that. Then we have the formal applications. I would say the formal applications probably run at about 10% rejection.
Again, the total number each year is 150 to 165, with a substantial percentage of them going to prison and their families being relocated. So when I say 150 or 160 people are going to prison, that doesn't mean there's no other job. The marshalls relocate them.
