To a lot. Prisons. These prisons are very dangerous, extremely dangerous for the non violent young drug offenders put in there for 10, 15, 20, 25 years. Danbury is a very small place when you have to live the next 20 years of your life in a prison that's 100 years old, that's supposed to have 800 inmates, that has 1,200 because of the overcrowding, because so many foreign nationals. It's very dangerous. And the prisons have to be reformed. I'm working with Jared and Peter Navarro to get the BOP candidates in and start to do some serious prison reform. (02:05–02:19)
