[ Having felt the inside of some people's heads, Anderson stands by her statement that not everyone can come back from their crimes-- she'd go crazy if she believed otherwise-- but she also isn't about to argue someone out of the softer approach. It's the side she'd rather err on herself, however much she isn't allowed to, normally. (She's not allowed to err at all, normally. Talk about pressure.)

I'd wish it, yeah. I... don't want to make it seem like I'm incapable of functioning without direction, but-- [ With some faint, mediated frustration: ] I uphold the law. Which is not very well-defined here. [ There's some pithy dryness behind that before she smooths it over. ] I'd feel better about suggesting I use mind techniques to rehabilitate criminals if there were specific regulations to follow, decided on by the community.
