Jan. 5th, 2012 02:19 pmIs there some reason why Wardens don't get to choose when they leave here?
[There's a brief pause, as Jim realizes that he literally just clicked on his communicator and blurted this out. When he speaks again, his voice is a little softer.]
What I mean is... It makes sense to me that inmates don't have a choice about whether they stay or go. We might not like it, but we were brought here against our will by the whim of some higher power who presumably decided that it was worth trying to save us. It makes sense that the same higher power should be able to get rid of us just by changing it's mind.
It doesn't make sense for that to work for wardens though, they make a decision to come here, they accept... a deal, a contract. They make a commitment, and a choice, and if they aren't working with one inmate, then they can always just be reassigned. It doesn't make sense for them to just vanish the way that Inmates do.
[There's a soft 'tap tap tap' as he drums his fingers across the table.]
So is there a reason? When you first come here, as a warden, are you informed of any grounds for dismissal? Anything like that? Do you get any kind of reimbursement for services rendered if you're forced to give up your job against your will?
