Would any of our witnesses like to talk a little about how we are doing prison, what we are misunderstanding and where the opportunity is we are not seeing? Effectively, what I am asking concerns the fact that a lot of people go into prisons and have an addiction that deals with a trauma that has been passed down. When they come out of prison, it seems as though everything has been compounded and made worse. How would we make it better?
