John Conyers actually said...

"This hearing begins with a recognition of the fact that the prisons, the Federal prisons, are 14 percent over capacity."

"It is no secret that this country incarcerates more people than any other country on the planet."

"The fact that we are incarcerating more people means that we are going to need more capacity."

"Do you agree that more should be done in the area of privacy to protect the intellectual property that is being frequently the object of illegal activity, namely theft?"
