...Jon has a theory that wardens don't exist to tell their inmates how to be good. They aren't supposed to identify problems that their inmate has to work on before they graduate. He thinks that the purpose of a warden is to be a companion, someone to go through all of the things the Barge throws at us with their inmate, until their inmate changes due to its influence.
I have my doubts that that's how the system is supposed to work, and I'm positive most wardens don't think that way. My first warden gave me homework!
...but considering the purpose of the ship is entertainment, it might be an approach worth trying. No one's going to want to watch an inmate who immediately fixes their behavior once someone points out to them what they're doing wrong. It isn't like fixing a machine, it's...it's getting them through the story someone else has in mind.
