OFFICIAL WARDEN ANNOUNCEMENT! Completely public.

Comrades, If you should encounter a situation in which my inmate: "Barron Sharpe" is aggressively removing his gloves at you, I would like to officially authorize punching him as an acceptable preventative measure against his trying to hold your hand.

Under no circumstances should you allow him to hold your hand.

It's always up to you whether you take your inmate's power off you.

But what I've... discovered, and hopefully, not too late, is that if you start using someone's power like a reward, or punishment, if they were born with it, it's not the best idea.

Because you... you'll end up as reliant on their power as a method of control as much as they are on it in the first place. It's important to remember that, when we're done, they've got to go out there and live with their power.

I'm not saying this because I think I've done it right, but because I've had to consider my approach several times.
