I look forward to working with him to make certain that the application of this amendment is such that it allows the ``good-time'' system to maintain itself. I know it plays a vitally important role in our system. But I think this amendment also sends an equally important signal, and that is that we are going to tie a relationship between the ability to access good time or early release to the efforts that can be undertaken by those who have the capacity to do so to improve their educational standing, which will make them better citizens once they are released. Good-time behavior in prison does not necessarily equate to good behavior once you get out. Hopefully, this creates a nexus between those two concepts.
