Demonreach is motivated by Necessity. The Warden, however, as he has pardoning capabilities, seems to be given leeway for compassion and understanding. Deamonreach simply would understand, "Being X is designated to be dangerous by a previous Warden. I contained it. Now Warden Dresden has designated entity safe for removal. I will release it."

Always possibly, but that feels like applying a moral hope to what might simply be functional necessary, maybe a relief valve on the prison system. Or to leave the Warden the possibility of Weaponizing the inmates, as has been mentioned in the books.

Designating an entity safe? lol how would Harry go about that decision? If Harry releases something it will be because he has no more options. I doubt even Harry would release something just because it appeared to be nice now. Unless it provided him with some sort of evidence that he could verify that it was wrongly locked up I don't see Harry ever believing that an inmate has changed it's ways.

I never said how Harry would identify the being as safe or reformed. Simply that he has the capability to make such an assertion and Demon reach wood adhere to his request for release.

But that's not really a separate ability or function, it's just a hope/assumption of an existing function's use. The Warden is entrusted with the decision to imprison and/or release an inmate, full stop. It would be /nice/ if he were given the time and inclination to somehow Reform and Release inmates, but I dont know that we can assume there are going to be extraneous functions and/or granted abilities to facilitate that. At the end of the day, those are functions that would make this Prison of the Immortal Damned slightly more morally or aesthetically palatable, but they dont really Contribute to its core Purpose.
