Well keep it simple with me.
3:37:55
All right now.
3:37:56
Yeah.
3:37:57
All right, so we're going to move on to programming.
3:38:01
DLC is still sourcing programming through the Division of Programming.

How many staff currently work with the Division of Programming?
Nell McCarty
3:38:12
Hello, thank you so much for the question.
3:38:15
I just want to make sure I give you the accurate number.
3:38:19
All right.
3:38:20
So the division of programs consists of approximately three fifty three staff members.
3:38:27
Two zero three of them are non uniform staff.
3:38:30
And then I would like to highlight that some of the other staff there's about well, the additional like 100 and plus staff that are uniformed members of service work within all of our facilities providing access to services like law library, access to services like chaplaincy services, making sure that people are escorted, just to give the context of why we would have uniformed members as well.
