Thank you very much for being here to testify today. I appreciate your comments.

I have a couple of questions. One has to do with your comment that the effort has been very successful since $122 million was put into drug and alcohol interdiction programs, and you gave some good examples of that. Could you tell me what the evidence of the success is? What was the rate of the presence or use of illegal substances in your facility beforehand, and what is the volume or rate of drug and alcohol presence or use in the prison now?

See context to find out what was said next.
