Thank you--and so do we.

To go to what Mr. Lobb was saying about recidivism and risks of recidivism, if I can quote the correctional investigator, he believes that double-bunking or triple-bunking or however much overcrowding we put into prisons actually increases the chances of recidivism. Have you taken that into account in analyzing possible extrapolated costs?
