I'm glad you get to visit. That's not something I would've expected from this place. Then again, I didn't expect much of anything.
Think I'm done with my world, too. It's not a great place for me- I mean, you checking in was honestly above and beyond what I got from any of my mental health professionals. I'm not sure where I'd end up going. But I have plenty of time here to figure that out, sounds like.
Checking on you was the least I could do, and you deserve to be somewhere
you can be supported.
Sometimes inmates slip through the cracks here, and don't have that until
they're permanently paired. I know I didn't. Not consistently, at least.
That's the reason I took this job. I'm not always good with people, but it
matters to me, making sure there's someone inmates can go to before
they have a warden of their own.

Yeah, seems like an important thing to do, especially when we're first coming through. Most of us are going to have a complicated relationship with trust. I'm sure you and I aren't the only ones who've been betrayed.
If there's anything I can do to help out with...any of that. Talking to someone who doesn't trust wardens, or- anything. Let me know?

Thank you, Will. There's not much to do with people who don't trust me, though, besides wait and earn it. I can do that.
I'll let you know if I think of anything I need, though. If you'll do the same?
