So is this emblematic of the larger correctional system with staffing? So, as far as that's concerned, we weren't. That wasn't confirmed or denied to us because of HIPAA laws. But I do know that A request was made in January of this year for additional dollars for the closure of Lincoln Hills and the expansion of Mendota.

That funding wasn't given to the Department of Correction until later, after Corey's death. (05:02–05:17)
