➢ 003 [video]
In the 19 days, 22 hours, 11 minutes, and 8 seconds since my arrival [plus the time delay between the start and uploading of this video], I have come across something very interesting through conversations with fellow Wardens and Inmates:
While there are a surprising many who have never heard of the Green Lantern Corps, even more surprising is the number of individuals who claim to fight for a similar cause. I have heard words such as 'vigilantism' and 'heroism' used often, along with the concept of fighting against the law in order to do what is right.
This appears to be a contradictory statement, however, and I wonder if I my auditory senses were malfunctioning or simply did not process the words correctly.
[She pauses, allowing this much to absorb before leading into her question.]
I am curious--are there many aboard who are familiar with Heroes of your respective worlds? And what do you believe makes them Heroes?

[She has already established him as a "good" person in her mind, though she still wants to know how he would answer such a question.]

I've done a couple of things that I thought were "right" and I wish I'd spent more time reflecting on them or taking a different route.

A Green Latnern would never back down from a fight.

You're right. I guess a better way to put it is, I think most things are relative to the person's life experience, but there are some absolutes? Like you should never try to purposefully hurt someone you care about.

Nor should you ignore a cry for help when there is something you could do about it.

That would depend upon what they did in the aftermath.
Criminals must be punished, yes. Punished, but not tortured. However, there is always the chance he may see the error of his way and wish to make restitution. Is that not what this place is about?

Even if that help meant confinement where they were no longer able to cause harm.

I am not certain what it is you are asking.
If my job as a Green Lantern and Warden is to capture and put the criminal in question to justice, what more is there to be done beyond confinement and attempts at rehabilitation?
