Having said that, I was in the Lucas County Jail back in August for 10 days, I think I was.

Um, but it's interesting because they have tablets there and the Edovo app, um, is on the tablets and they issued the tablets to everyone in the, uh, in the jail for free.

But the thing is, is in order to use the app, the tablets, you have to purchase the little, um, headphones, the earbuds from the commissary.

And people, they...

they don't, they don't want to tune into that.

So you need to get hip and tune in and not just the people in the Lucas County jail, but, um, if you have access to it in, um, Michigan, the MDLC, certain facilities and, um, Ohio prisons, um, check it out and listen to it because you may think that what's happening in Texas doesn't apply to you.

But I remind people that Ohio has the death penalty.
