"I did see some of the new files. The new arrivals seem to be everything from a pussy who thinks he can get away with killing cops to a petty criminal who just kept increasing the stakes. What in particular has you troubled my dear warden?" Lucian sat down directly across from Kane and crossed his legs before leaning forward a little bit. The doctor knew it had to be one of a very short list of things that the warden wanted to discuss, and were he not enjoying Kane's understated reactions to him so much he would have just gotten to the topic at hand. The only thing that would need to be discerned was weather Lucian had actually done something to upset the Warden or if he was just venting his concerns because he felt it appropriate. People  were so inclined to dive into the pitfalls of extrinsic motivation without even asking themselves the why of it. That was one thing that made Lucian a lot more comfortable at a major penitentiary like this rather then some little inner city prison that housed people who were better described as lost souls then hardened criminals. That also made it easier for him to dehumanize the people he was supposed to serve.<br/><br/>It took a while before Kane looked him in the eyes. The warden positioned himself before turning to him directly. Lucian on the other hand had been looking at the warden without stop. "Do you believe all of them can be helped Mr Mercer? I can't really make any hard judgments without speaking to the men but..." Dr DeLorca's voice trailed off for a moment and his expression hardened. The system itself was not the easiest to work with. The long term isolation of prison didn't really help anyone learn what they needed to function socially or economically out in society. Being one of the uneducated masses wasn't anything special to aspire for either. Almost all of the inmates needed very aggressive therapy to even have a chance at seeing things from a different perspective and he got to see only a small handful of them less then half as often as even the stingiest medical plans allowed outside of the prisons. He sighed and resumed the nearly emotionless expression he usually wore. ".. You know the statistics. Hardly any of these men will be able to make anything of themselves even if they see the world outside of these walls within their lifetime."<br/><br/>Lucian couldn't help but grin though when he heard Kane recite what had become of some of the men Lucian had decided would make fun toys. "Yes, funny thing about the one who attacked the guard. I had been thinking that his anger issues were turning into self hatred and guilt. I thought he might attempt to take his own life rather then continue violent acts toward others." He shook his head from side to side as if lamenting the fact that the prisoner hadn't tried to kill himself.  "I've seen so many scoundrels in my office. I miss the sweet ones who seemed more like broken birds."<br/>
