That doesn't mean it's the only one he has. I hope it isn't, but I can't tell from over here.

I can't answer that for you.

But I wouldn't have you give up on him - I don't mean that an insulting sense, as it might seem quite rational to let it go. Because as much as, aye, he probably needs to see how awful and devastating and truly wrong it is. but in the end, you're the one who has to go back and say to him 'I've seen better in you than this, I know that you can do better and here's why'. I would have you seriously look at everything he's done here - good and bad - and find the reasons he should be redeemed, find the parts which have made you think he wasn't the sort of man who killed for fun any more.

Because it's always easy to find the horrific, the nasty, the immoral things our inmates do. At those times, it's alright for everyone else to dwell in that, to hate him, whatever, but you're the one who has to find forgiveness, find the decent part of him and believe in him. Part of that is finding out or trying to understand why this really happened, but also in having some faith in the better aspects of his time here, and believing they're something worth holding on to.
