the first charter high school in the united states in our jail system thanks to my predecessor, mike hennessy. we have one of the most educated jail populations, in-custody populations because of how effective it is in providing a ged, diploma, or high school certificate. but if there is no pathway beyond the high school for people who are incarcerated or formerly incarcerated, we're stuck. and considering that the san francisco sheriff's department books approximately about 35,000 or 40,000 people per year, even though our daily jail population is one of the lowest in the united states per capita, it is my worry that if we're talking about public safety and crime prevention that what is not mainstream in this discussion is the relationship to city college and the criminal justice system. we need city college to be built into the jail system and we need our programs to be affiliated with city college outside the jail system. and when the sheriff and/or anybody tries to nurture relationships, i think it's really critical that we don't squander those opportunities so that we foster what i think

and again, as i said, i might -- made my decision when former sheriff mike hennessy police officer, i decided where i belong. and again, i want to thank and i hope the mayor's of housing department and also mark ferrel have enough money to assist all first responders
