I am just curious. The first line the witnesses came in with today was the revolving door. I deal with this and the country has been dealing with this for quite some time. Let us put Thornton aside for a moment, if we consider some of the crimes that have occurred recently the commentary has been that one criminal has almost got to be released for someone else to go to jail because the capacity is not available. What Mr. Donnellan is saying is that is completely erroneous.
