I mean, I was just down in Nashville, and you guys were interesting because your sheriff down there has actually built a behavioral health unit in the jail because he wants to help people get them restored before he sends them back. Now, that's a wonderful idea, but it also links in jail with treatment, and you shouldn't have to go to jail to get treatment. So that's the conundrum.
