And, like, you know, I did the back of the napkin math.

That's like about five minutes per case.

I mean, it's a farce of a legal process.

That's just, you know, keeping them there while, you know, while these conditions are terrible, not moving anything forward.

And who's paying the bill?

It's us.

It's the taxpayer dollars that are paying, you know, GeoGroup, you know, millions and millions of dollars to run these facilities.
