“And the challenge is so many places they don't have that opportunity, and so they're just stuck in limbo here. Now that opportunity becomes more abundant and people can prove themselves. And so I cannot impress upon you as a governor, last seven years, doing thousands of these.

I want to know you're committed to rehabilitation.” (08:59–09:06)
