Yeah. That clearly didn't sound like what you said. No, they said the average length of stay. They gave us, like, printouts. Like, we have it where it says The average length of stay is 28 days. That is not true. At least based on the people that we met, because we didn't meet anybody who had been there for any less than 60 days. I mean, the longest amount of time of any person that I talked to was a family of five, a mother and her. Or maybe six, a mother and her five children. (02:45–02:55)

CLAIM

Asserts that the reported average length of stay of 28 days is inaccurate, with no one staying less than 60 days.
