Twoyear school. And the Graduation Rates are extremely low. They get automatic guarantee to get into unc chapel hill. It has been phenomenal. And if you meet some of those students, you would be blown away. One of them i met grew up in nigeria from a very poor family, wartorn area. Saw is a poster of unc and dreamed about being at unc. How she ever made it i cant tell you. Went to unc, head of her class in nursing, going to medical school. So we have to keep remembering not all students will do the traditional path.

Thank you, senator. From my perspective, having joined as a correctional officer in 1988 and around that time the bureaus population was a little more than 60,000. I think historically when you book at the bureau of prisons and go back from 1940 to 1980, the bureaus population pretty much remained flat for many, many years in excess of 20,000.

Julie ainge win, longtime wall street journal reporter is our guest this week on the communicators to talk about facebook, political ads and russia. What have we learned in the past couple of months from the investigation into facebook and the russian ads . Thank you for having me on. We learn a lot in the last month or two about facebook and russia facebook has said they learn a bunch of ads placed during the election were placed by russian outfits under anonymous accounts and they were politically divisive ads, not necessarily aimed at one candidate or another but just aim at sowing divisiveness on charged topics. Host why did facebook not seem to know who was placing these ads . Guest its not totally clear why facebook didnt do more Due Diligence on these accounts. The ads were brought in rubles. There are laws that say foreigners cap by ooh lex ads about apparently election ads and apparently these slipped through and because that are were under Fake Identities maybe the didnt find
