So we understand that, Department of Corrections has their own interpretation of the law.
1:05:24
What has Moya done to ensure that they are not following an interpretation that does not actually uphold the law?

So DOC actually reports to us on a monthly basis everything that is required under local law 228.
1:05:40
And so it is an extensive report that talks about, you know, how many detainers and who was who was actually held and for what reason.
1:05:49
And I follow that report very closely and then, of course, report on it.
1:05:52
And they have not in my in my, time here, have ever violated any of our our detainer laws and or our Insaneur City laws.
