I'm curious. How many of you have kids back home? Or had someone to take care of, anything like that. I'm in a bit of a unique situation because when I first came here I wasn't even in a relationship, and now I'm married with kids, but I think it's done a lot towards helping my inmate. I'm not saying we should treat our inmates like they're our kids, but it's something to think about.

Still grounded, kiddo?

I was looking back over our old conversations, and I'd completely forgotten about that assignment I gave you. Made many friends yet?

I have a kid sister that I've raised. Am raising. It hasn't been helpful in any inmate's redemption, though, because all they do is use the emotional association against you.

Who's your inmate?

[wichita-kansas.livejournal.com]

Sirius Black. I'm not talking about him, though. I've had three inmates.

Ah. I'm sorry.

If you don't mind me asking, why were you raising your little sister?

[wichita-kansas.livejournal.com]

Long story. Why aren't you with your wife and kids?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

They're dying and I'm here to save them.

[wichita-kansas.livejournal.com]

All of them?

My wife, Linda, she's done everything she can to try to save the kids. This is my last resort.
