They lease them to the Hyundai parts company.

So, you know, you go to the state fair in Alabama, you know, we have this kind of amazing shot of a guy in a corrections uniform wearing
who's standing with a little girl and he is reaching into the duck pond and he takes a little duck out, a little baby duckling, and he hands it and the mother's clapping and is taking photographs.
And the chilling statistic behind that, Alabama does not track this, but we tracked it, is that if you're considered safe enough to go out into the community to work at McDonald's or to work at the state fair,
you have a statistically lower chance of being paroled than if you're somebody at a higher custody level.
And they don't track that statistic.
And I think Steve Marshall might be surprised if I said that, or he would say, oh, that doesn't sound right.
And then we would say, well, you know, that's, there's a reason why you don't track that statistic, but it kind of makes sense, right?
The people that are out there and people that are all these anecdotal stories of people saying, well, I was sick and I woke up in the morning and that guy came in and said, you need to go out there and make me some money.
I mean, you know, if you look at Capturing the Freedmen's, there's just an enormous amount of archival material of that family, including going back, you know, 75 years to the, you know, family members that kind of came to this country.
And then in The Jinx, we have...
lots of photographs, but we also have moving pictures of Robert Durst when he was a kid.
And you get to see the awkwardness.
You get to see the feeling that this is a person who didn't particularly fit in.
And you see him, you know,
In modern day, you see him twitching.
Robert Durst has a lot of twitches.
And then you see a little, you know, film of him getting up on the diving board as a kid or, you know, somebody doing a movie of him like his mother.
