I've been thinking a lot about how I'm going to help Facilier.

Part of why he is the way he is, is because he's been marginalized. And while I can't say I've had as much direct experience as he's had with that kind of situation, my mother certainly has. He's made choices that grant him power over others because he's felt powerless himself.

I don't think menial labor is going to be a productive part of any rehabilitation I offer him, but I do want him to take on some form of responsibility in which he has to care for someone or something's well being even in some small degree.

I don't think he understands that loyalty and friendship and love of any kind can make a person inclined to act without expectation. That you can do things for other people without expecting to get something in return. I'm pretty sure these are the core problems, but I'm not sure how to go about addressing them.

Any advice, especially from wardens with a lot of experience, would be super helpful.

[Stiles hasn't actually talked to Facilier that much. Once or twice, and not for awhile. And he doesn't really have anymore experience with any of this than she does. He hesitates.]

How does he feel about dogs? Or...any animals, I guess.

[He grimaces at that. None of those options is really...pleasant.]

Well I was just thinking about how therapeutic animals can be. And I mean, dogs are super loyal and love people unconditionally.

[He considers that.]

What if the dog isn't his?

Oh, I didn't mean for him to take care of it. Just like, to bond with it. Under supervision, where it won't possibly be sacrificed or something.

[He nods though, at the mention of the other choices.]

Those sound good. Dean works in the kitchen. [She probably already knows this.]

From: [personal profile] voluntaryapnea
Yeah, that makes sense.

[He's never experienced that kind of prejudice, but he's smart enough to understand that it exists, and he understands why she's suggesting those options.]

Maybe the library could be another option? [He doesn't know, really. He's just tossing out ideas.]
