I'm wondering if there's been any thought given to.... This is perhaps a broad issue that would require more time than we have, but when I hear you list the factors that are taken into account when you decide whether to have an offender go into a maximum security institution, to me a lot of those issues are going to inevitably create overrepresentation.
