I mean, we've established that I don't have the on-the-ground experience that some members of your committee do. The conditions in prisons, where you have a lot of people living together, you have isolation from support systems and so on—the hallmarks of large institutions—as well as the correctional culture would suggest that there are going to be mental health problems. Those are the kinds of conditions that would produce those problems in many people, but would exacerbate problems that someone might come with already, if they were already depressed or anxious or had any kind of past experience with trauma, in particular, or psychosis. So those kinds of conditions are very likely to create mental health problems.
