I've seen that sort of thing happen often. Once an inmate graduated immediately after having kidnapped and held another inmate prisoner for days. A reevaluation or regret in the wake of a misdeed appears to sometimes be a trigger for graduation, but it leaves no justice for those who were victims.

I'm not entirely sure I qualify as a good guy. In fact, I'm fairly sure everyone back home would laugh at the suggestion. But your point is made. And I would hate to lose my reputation for being stubborn.
