Yes, I will.
My name is Lawrence Da Silva. I've just finished 19 straight years in federal custody. I've been out for two years and two months.
Where I would like to start is where we left off yesterday. I was watching this on TV.
This was given to me on short notice. I immediately became aware of this bill and then what's going on with this bill and how it will affect people. I decided to come here again, like I always do. I will run at these opportunities because men and women are at stake.
I can't speak for the women's prison, and I never will, but I will speak to the men's side of the prison. I would like to invite any questions that you guys posed yesterday to Ms. Anne Kelly or to the administration on whether those things are going to be functional, whether they be in relation to visits when you're in these areas or placed in non-contact areas after violence.... I'm your guy. Ask me those questions. I would encourage you to dive right in.
