I'm pleased to announce a new program here at the embassy, inspired by my online interaction. I like to call it the Cohdopian Correctional Care Carton ( Read more... )

How cool, Mr. Ambassador! You're so nice! You're really getting creative with your promo ideas. The name's really catchy. New-Cohdopia's totally lucky to have a guy on top who cares about everyone like you do. I hope it keeps getting a lot of business!

You're very welcome, Ms. Miney! I have a few more things to arrange, but hopefully it won't be too long before I can send the first package to the prison.

I'm so happy to be of service. I spend a great deal of my free time trying to think up new ideas for embassy programs.

And thank you for the kind words concerning Cohdopia. They're much appreciated.

You must be the nicest guy of all time ever, to give nice things to people in prison.

Oh, I don't know about that! But thank you so much for the thought. I do try to help others when I can, which is why I'm so fortunate in my occupation.

It did touch my heart, reading about all the people who couldn't visit the embassy and take advantage of our discounts and free offers. Like poor Mr. Armando, deprived of his coffee, and sweet Ms. Paups, who asked for nothing but a bright butterfly. These human stories, so moving!

I do believe that giving prisoners a treat every once in a while encourages good behavior. It's true that they're being punished, and I wouldn't want to stand in the way of that, but everyone needs a reason to smile sometimes.

So this is how far you'll go to promote a friendlier image of Cohdopia, huh?

How much of the country's taxpaying citizens' money is going toward this?

I will be frank with you. Brightening Cohdopia's tarnished image is one of my primary goals as the newly appointed Ambassador of Cohdopia.

However, the money spent will be my own, since this is my own pet project. You see, they're paying me so much more money now, I have no idea what to do with it all! My room and board are provided for, and I have everything a man could ever want. What better way to spend this surplus than on the community?

I am guessing from the tone of your comment that you don't wish to be included in the Care Carton program?

I would add you to the list, but I don't know you well enough to guess what you'd like.

I have some nice floral soaps, or perhaps some candies?

Straight out of your own pockets? And you're okay with that?? Ahahaha! Hey, whatever you wanna do!

Buy me some oranjaade in that case!

From reading some of the things prisoners wrote in their journals it seems they are pampered already. Though positive reinforcement has been proven to work in some situations, there are limits.

You don't like the idea, Ms. von Karma?

I'm so sorry! Perhaps I should have checked with you or Mr. Edgeworth first.

After meeting some prisoners online, I was reading about prison rehabilitation programs, and they seem so helpful! I was considering combining this program with a jobs for ex-prisoners program, and including some educational literature and inspirational poetry in the care package.

But if you think I should discontinue it...

I suppose I should do so.

I should at least send this one package, as I've promised the prisoners.

I appreciate that, Mr. Ambassador. It's a nice gesture, but I don't think it's necessary. Like you said above, we're being punished. We don't need any extra amenities.

Oh, and thanks for the literature you sent me. I enjoyed the story of Cohdopian coffee. I wouldn't have thought you'd have such detailed pamphlets.

Do you think so, Mr. Armando? It's only one container of coffee--I don't think it would interfere with your correctional regimen! Maybe I can send you just the one can, and then you can get on with being punished?

Or I could send you more literature instead. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm devoted to overseeing the embassy's literature. I try to keep it as varied and current as I can.

I guess you're right. One can can't hurt.

And your heart's in the right place, Mr. Palaeno.

Sure, go ahead, send me some more literature. I'm sure I'll like whatever you pick out for me.
