Mr. Homan, you say that the reports of bad poor conditions are misleading and inaccurate. In a lawsuit this week, New Jersey officials described overcrowding at Delaney hall, lack of ventilation. Let's talk about that real quick. Overcrowding, false, negative, lie. It's a thousand bed facility. They had 706 people. 706 people in 1000 bed facility. Not even close to capacity. There's no overcrowding. But they also described inadequate medical care, unsanitary food, unchecked spread of communicable diseases like COVID 19 and influenza, unsanitary bathroom conditions, and lastly, potentially inadequate tuberculosis infection control practices. (03:13–03:22)
