So maybe I spoke to harshly about educating the prisoners as I think everyone in and out of jail needs to be de-educated in many ways and then educated correctly but that would be a big task.

You admitted a mistake. I'm proud of you, son. 10,000 to go, but the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.
