In the correctional environment, there is no question about looking at what contributes to public safety results, which is the second part of our mandate, of course: the rehabilitative aspects of inmates. Through the program development process, what occurred was a strong emphasis on research-based empirical evidence, material that can demonstrate a capability to show results, as was mentioned before. When you can demonstrate success through a results orientation with empirical evidence behind you, other correctional jurisdictions stand up and look at that.
