No, and I thought perhaps a show of solidarity might be in order.
[ Slightly wry. ]
And he was not the only warden to engage in such... unhelpful messaging lacking in compassion. I had a rather startling experience on my first day here, fresh from being shot to death in my own home. I'll save that for another day, I think, as that warden is still here and that would feel just a touch self-serving. But I was hardly assigned at that point, and so you can see I understand that feeling.
As well as the feeling that airing such a grievance could only see me, the inmate, put in a worse situation. The feelings of helplessness and frustration and the temptation to believe that those supposed 'helpmates' who were to see me redeemed were merely professionals at a new set of rules placed upon me by a society uninterested in my own fulfillment.
I intend to support your venture, if asked. Though I would make some suggestions in implementation, if you're willing to listen to them.
