Imagine if you're the person getting out of jail who doesn't many times append it to your name, may not even have a ride. That's all the work we try to do while people are here, but you've got to sustain it.

I'm going to knock on wood, but the staff that work here are phenomenal. Maybe it's because I spent the majority of my time working with employees and understanding that, first of all, you can never take them for granted. And change, people have to be brought along.

making sure that their needs are met, they have all the information, and that their, first and foremost, especially in this work, their safety is paramount. Safety of the people who are incarcerated is paramount. Helping get to a point where we understand that we don't just do security. That's not why we exist, because that doesn't make us safer.
