five - FILTERED TO WARDENS

[Filtered to Wardens]
I was hoping someone might be able to enlighten me as to the best way to approach and gain the confidence of my inmate, Castiel. Upon our first lively discourse, he became entirely intolerable and rude. Though he has since apologized for his words, it is still his intention not to accept any help from myself toward his redemption.

At present, I am finding the greatest concerns to be that of his taking fondly to the drink -- where this supply is coming from, I cannot be certain -- as well as his entire loss of faith.

I do hate to admit such ignorance. But I also believe it is far better to admit ones' faults than to suffer blindly as a fool in matters one cannot understand.

Cordially,
Miss Elizabeth Bennet

I had considered the option. I find that Castiel often acts as a child. If you should restrict or forbid a child from something, he shall only work harder to acquire it and any latter attempt at pleasant acquaintance might be forever lost. It seems difficult to redeem a man who is not fond or respectful of you.

Exactly how many Hellions have you raised that way?

...Look, I'm not exactly an expert on rearing children, or rehabilitating Inmates. But he needs to respect you, and he needs to learn that if he's not willing to be pleasant then he can't have anything he enjoys. If you act like you're violating some trust by doing your job, he's not going to respect you when you do it, nor should he, because you're treating him like he's the one in charge.

Perhaps you are right. It is something I had not truly considered. How then would I go about forbidding such substances when I cannot even conclude their source?

I guess you're just going to have to try a few things on your own and see what works.
