national security reviews we do of fbi's practices, all the reviews we have done in the federal bureau of prisons and handling of female inmates, mental health issues, aging inmates. none of those had dollar findings with them. i think what we need to be thinking about as a community and the oversight community needs to be thinking about is how do you measure success for igs beyond the one metric, which is an important one for many organizations, which is dollar related findings and congress should be thinking about that, as well. on the second question about cross cutting igs. you know, i think that what needs to happen and hopefully people who are watching said do you think we're doing more of this. that's what it was created to do in 2008. one of our missions if you look at section 11 of the ig act which is the provision which creates to the inspector general creative, which is training but the other important statement is to look at issues that cross cut our own individual agencies to issues like cyber-related issues. that's something we're doing more of. earlier this year, we issued our top

>> my response is that none of the people in the federal prison system have any opportunity to participate unless they are deemed by the bureauisons to be low risk or minimal risk. people who engage in the type of violent crime that you are describing are rarely if ever going to be deemed eligible. the whole purpose of the program is to identify those who are low or minimal risk of harm, of committing a future crime or engaging in violent acts, and those who are deemed within the categories will be incentivized to go through programming, and to look, it is unfair to say that they will get credit to watch tv programs or play basketball. these are programs that are designed specifically to help reduce the risk of somebody read committing a crime they get out of prison. >> martha: would it be worth looking at the bill again and rewriting part of it so that people who have assaulted a law enforcement officer or a spouse or a child would never be eligible to have their sentence reduced? or do you believe that they should be considered for that program if indeed they are deemed eligible? >> we will have to be on a case-by-case basi

. >> what happens within that system when the bureau of prisons seemingly goes overboard in terms of geographically the inmate from the family? >> i think it does exactly the opposite of what prison system should be doing. we have this punitive approach to sentencing that's not a rehabilitative approach to sentencing. the very thing that reduce s crime is a feeling you have a home to go to. working on other projects and speaking to other families it feels the beginning of a sentence through the end and even when you come home the sentence is, the sentencing structure is set up to break down every level of communication and connection and community connection and hope and it just feels so counter productive to me. we're not thinking about the human cost in all of this, we're creating this vicious cycle. that's why children with incarcerated parents are more likely to go to prison. this is a system they know and they have a family that's broken down and the human toll is, you know, it's amazing. >> as a family member who was on the side of making those phone calls to prison and the cha
