“Dutton was known to be a largely benevolent and lenient leader of the island prison, as he believed that not all humans are born evil and believed that reformation is possible for them through hard work. He also did not allow guards to carry arms as part of the need to build trust between the guards and inmates.”

A bit too naive to believe that all hardcore criminals can be rehabilitated through kindness and respect
