So one of the examples of that is when I came on, we housed women, but we didn't have any women's programming. So we developed from nothing women's programming, a women's therapeutic treatment program, which is designed to treat women. Women are offenders, but women are also victims. And women are also caretakers. One day we did a statistic. We had 95 women who had 109 children.

But you think about the collateral consequences to our public safety in the community when those women are incarcerated. Start to talk about generational incarceration because now those kids think incarceration is part of their future because that's what my mom did. That's what, you know, that's what's in my family. So we decided to work with focus programs specifically for women.

Can you give me a minute? Because I'm going to read you something that I received last week. Is that okay? Sure. All right. Hang on one second.

All right. So last week, I received a really long letter from a woman who went through our treatment program, women's treatment program. I'm not going to read the whole thing. So she goes through and she thanks all of the different staff that she interact with. I'll read you this part. My family has made jokes that I came out of jail with friends, and that is true.

I am still in touch with a few inmates, both current and released. Once I'm finished with parole, I'm hoping to see them in person. One thing I found out, the transition back into a normal life has not been as easy as I thought it would be. I have mentioned this to several people. including my parole and probation ladies. I'm skipping parts.

It would be nice if there was some kind of a group for released inmates that just deals with transitioning back to life outside of jail. From finding a job to mental health, there's a five-month wait for therapy. To financial and credit health and to taking care of your physical health, there's a lot to think about and do. For me, there are days when it's hard to get motivated.
