I really do hope that liking the majority of people here is not a requirement of graduation.

Because you are a very difficult group to like. You complain and insult for little to no reason. You threaten and murder - or are hypocrital by threatening and then not following through. Cowardly, I will add to that in those cases. You ignore some things that may be of importance yet jump all over certain other things that essentially should be ignored.

I am speaking about both inmates and wardens here. The vast majority, anyhow - not every single one of you. There are a few exceptions but they are very few.

It is not surprising that there are very few graduations, considering most inmates have no wish to and so do not even attempt to be better people and most of the wardens do not care less about those in their care. An occasional punishment once your inmate has slaughtered multiple people is hardly keeping a decent watch on the situation.

I am honestly tired of the pettiness displayed here. I can understand inmates being stubborn and thinking they are right all the time but wardens should set better examples and do what they are here to do. Or they should leave.

Most of you are bringing about your own misery.

And truly, if you do wish to remain here then you could at least stop complaining.

Incentive to leave? It doesn't seem to work in most cases.

[acid_rayne]

Neither do a lot of things, unfortunately.

So how do you encourage your inmate toward graduation?

[acid_rayne]

Well, I do my best to phase out her urge to commit graphic torture, murder and cannibalism, so... Y'know. But nothing like that's happened for months.

So if she's behaving why hasn't she graduated?

[acid_rayne]

It's a controlled environment. Relatively-speaking, anyway... Out in the real world, I wouldn't be looking over her shoulder to make sure she doesn't regress.

She needs to prove she isn't so... Succeptable to certain things anymore. That's not something I can force her to do. She needs to learn it for herself.

Understandable.

This is why my former warden Hix's idea was appropriate - about originally giving me my magic. If I do not have it at all then how can I learn to control my temper by not using it? Without it, of course I can do no harm. And thus can progress very little.

[acid_rayne]

Maybe you need, like, a fake wand or something? A thing you can have to represent it, so that... Ah, I dunno'... Something you can reach for on impulse, so you know what your reaction might be with the real thing, y'know?

I still have my wand. I just don't have my powers, except for the one spell my new warden kindly returned to me recently.

In seven months here I have only lost my temper once. Apart from that one incident I would say I've been a model inmate.

[acid_rayne]

Well, there y'go! Carry it around with you. See if you ever get, like, the urge.

I get the urge to use it because that's natural for me, being what I am. But I don't feel the urge to generally harm people. Quite the opposite, I've been trying repeatedly to offer to help heal others instead. My problem is not that I'm a wizard, after all. Although by the way people react they make it sound as if I shouldn't be what I naturally am and want me to never use magic at all for anything.

[acid_rayne]

Maybe you are ready, then... Ask whoever it is you're assigned to about what's holding you back.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you for not dismissing me out of hand.
