I'm trying to understand. What exactly did the Admiral tell you when you got this job, that made you think that doling out punishments for an Inmate that's not yours was ever the right thing to do? I'm not a pacifist -- most people that know me here would scoff at the very idea of me being one. The Inmates shouldn't have to get a disclaimer that they have anything to "fear" from you at any time. We're not here to scare them; we're here to help them.
And can I dispute for a second the term 'defenseless women' here? Because I seem to remember you saying something similar the night of the incident, and I'm completely baffled.
I don't regard any woman aboard this ship, inmate or warden, "helpless". I also don't think that a slight against a woman should permit any Warden to use special treatment. We are all here to do the same job, and it needs to be treated that way.
I agreed to come in order to follow my calling here. I will help inmates, ja. But when they harm another I see it as ineffective to lock them away when they clearly do not give any care to the pain they've caused.
It is not a disclaimer. I merely state that from now on, I function differently. That I follow another's guidelines rather than my own. That is all I mean.
Where I am from, women? Most of them are unable to defend themselves to any great capacity. I am one of few exceptions. And while defenseless men usually at least have sheer size on their side, most women do not have even that.
I have no ill will towards your inmate, you know. I would not be shocked to hear he has some against me and I would not blame him for such. But you may tell him I think his intent was very noble, if it pleases you.
It is up to that Inmate's Warden to effectively punish and educate them.
There's at least one Inmate that's still on the Barge that I've shot, so again it's not like I've never used force. But tell me for the sake of argument that you can at least see the difference between using violence to stop an Inmate when they're in the process of doing wrong and attacking one when they are already injured and incapacitated? Besides that you've been told now not to?
The key is for them to learn not to be violent because they understand and agree it's not necessary, not for them to learn to be afraid of the people there to help them.
