I'm excited to see folks working on tech to help the prison system.

Curious what unintended consequences will you need to be on the lookout for?

For example, could this increased capacity and decrease costs and then will that capacity go towards even more arrests?

If you save a department, say 50%, they may be reluctant to lose their budget and instead will just double the number of arrests/people held.
