I never even knew there was an option. We're housing women in record numbers. Why are women in prison the fastest growing population? There was never an option for me to go to treatment or to get help. Instead, it was, “You're going to jail”. For women coming out, there's no place them to go. Even if they wanted to change, there's nowhere for them to go. There's no detox. There's no treatment. We need more support for healing, rather than just being incarcerated at the price we're charging. Like I said in my statement, fentanyl right now is an epidemic. Let's take some of that money and build some healing lodges and let's start healing some people. Thanks.
