Dearheart, I am not the church. It is not my duty nor my calling to look upon a person and assume they have some inherent flaw that I must fix. I am too flawed a man, myself.
You are not an Inmate because the powers -- call them God, nature, the Fates; whatever tickles your fancy -- decided you must be rehabilitated; had the Barge not intervened you would be resigned to whatever fate awaits any person who has lived as you lived. A former Warden put it perhaps a little sentimentally, but I find it quite fitting: You are an Inmate because someone that mattered to you would have wanted you to have a second chance.
Do I think you have done deplorable things? Yes. If ever a life was lost because of a decision that you made or upheld, whether it occurred by your own hand or not, then you did not die with a life clean of fault. This includes chosen alliances and the power you have handed people to do harm -- which has in turn opened the rest of your family to the same existence, your child included.
