There is often a delay, and we don't always see everybody assessed within the first 90 days. That's an issue. Increasing numbers will further limit that.
As we saw with Ashley Smith--and again, one of the challenges is sometimes getting the documentation--we are told on one hand it is policy, and then we are told on the other hand by prisoners that in fact they are not routinely having those assessments. We have 18 advocates who go into all of the federal penitentiaries. Even when prisoners are assessed as having drug and alcohol issues, they may not get access to programs right away, or in fact for some time.
So yes, the assessment is a good thing, and I think having access to programs is a good thing. If you are being told it is happening, then I would encourage you to question that.
