I... beg to differ, I don't think most of them are. [but he won't say none] There are plenty of us trying to maintain that the right thing comes first.
I think you have a very good point - and I certainly think, in entering a relationship here, you have to be aware that your duty does come first, and the person you're in a relationship with's inmate comes first too. If you fail to do that, then yes - you are failing in your duty, there's no doubt about it. I think it also pays to be honest with your inmates about it, as it is a matter of ulterior motives, and whether you have any or not.
To be honest, everything here is... a magnification of the real world, and I think we do have to be realistic - I don't think it inherently means a relationship is a bad idea, though.
