I will tell you that if anybody wants to see a modern facility that really incorporates the police department, the court system, and the detention facilities together, this is really a model.

I totally agree with Mr. Cole and you.

Look and listen for the welfare of the whole people and have always in view not only the present but also the coming generations, even those whose faces are yet beneath the surface of the earth.
