We don't want this number available all the time. There's no context to it. And I was very adamant in saying one kid in a cage is a crisis. 142 or whatever number we have right now... is an absolute systemic failure. Because I don't know, because I'd have to, you know, ask five different departments where these kids are that we've locked up. Like, that's an absolute systemic failure. (25:24–25:35)

CLAIM
