it is permitted by ice. i mean, i just want to say that. it is permitted by ice. it's part of their cost reduction, i believe in terms of how they make these contracts. i wanted to ask though a quick question. i was trying to reconcile what i know about some parts of prison and what she's say. can you elaborate more about the ad hawk nature how they are spread out and whether or not there are any adequate standards to govern them and how we can influence that. >> okay. well, first i will address the facts -- first of all i will address the facts and figures for the alternatives detention, depending on what exactly those alternatives consist on, ranging from .17 cents per day to $17 per day per person. detention for adult ice detention is upwards of $160 per person per day. family detention is between $250 and $300 per person per day. so if we took the detained population and instead had them on alternatives detention while their cases were moving forward, that would be a substantial cost savings. turning to cbp turning to cbp and these if as imts these facilities

it is a complete sheet of ice. it was really difficult to actually walk across this mulch because the traction on your shoes can only help so much. so this is the takeaway this morning. it's icy out there, especially until 6:00 7:00. and when out on the roadways even if it doesn't look like black ice, chances are they are still very slippery. we have seen a number of salt trucks salting parking lots and areas that may not have been treated last night. so just keep that in mind if you're headed out this morning. reporting live in wayne, katy zachry "nbc 10 news." >>> all right, katy. get important alerts and updates on the forecast with the all new nbc 10 app for your smartphone or tablet. it's a free download from the nbc app store or nbc10.com. >>> and a travel has art of a different sort here. new from overnight, a passenger aboard this plane called it a terrifying experience. the fight had taken off from philadelphia and made a crash landing in houston. vai sikahema is following this story from the digital opera

our real issues this morning have been the ice. even if the area is treated, you want to take your time because looks can be deceiving. keep that in mind when you head out the door. >> good morning. as we head into the next couple of hours, we are going to continue to see dangerous ice, slushy conditions also messy conditions as you head outside. whether you're walking on the sidewalks or driving on some of our overpasses you really want to be careful. the good thing is we're drying out and warming up but then cold conditions are back in our seven-day forecast as early as tomorrow. so a closer look at our first alert weather day, as we head into the rest of this morning, that's going to be our main concern is dangerous ice, and you just need to take it easy whether, again, you're walking or driving. so the 75 there, you can see barely anyone out. so hopefully people are staying home, because that's probably a smart thing to do if you can. for philadelphia 34 degrees, mostly cloudy skies, and then our wind speeds right now to the no
