Thank you, Chair, and thank you to all our witnesses for being here.
Stan, I'm going to start with you. You've mentioned the $448 million that we're putting into corrections. It's certainly a conversation we've had here a number of times, that for these SIUs to work, there has to be investment, because for your program officers and parole officers who are trying to do the programming for these offenders, there needs to be enough. There needs to be the time they need. However, we also need to make sure that everyone, including your folks and the corrections officers, are safe while they're in there.
We had even the John Howard Society saying that there still needed to be disciplinary segregation. I was actually surprised at that.
With the investments and with this legislation, do you think your folks will still be safe when they're working in the prisons?
