"Historical sources suggest it used to be near-universal though take them all with a grain of salt, if you hadn't noticed that already. Now it's much easier to get caught and family less likely to live nearby or for that matter be extant, so it's rarer - a quarter?"

"Wow. How do you get your data?"

"We talk to a lot of vampires and investigate a lot of suspicious disappearances and murders."

"Are the vampires honest with you?"

"Not in the slightest. Some tell us they killed parents who are still very much alive, if you ask after that specifically. With practice and incentives to cooperate you can usually have an informative conversation with most of them eventually."

"Incentives."

"The U.S. government is a signatory to, and abides by, international standards for the treatment of prisoners. Those don't oblige us to have anything interesting on the television, though."

"I suppose that's probably a pretty effective incentive for people who think very short-term."

"We had a lot of demand to start carrying daytime soap operas."

"...huh, interesting choice. I would have probably guessed thrillers or something based solely on my conversation with Talon."

"They do boast to each other about who they'd murder a fair bit. - one going theory is that becoming a vampire somehow flips, or twists, the part of the mind with moral priorities, leaving you people who are as motivated to do evil as humans are to do good - which is to say, a little bit, especially if it's convenient, but not very systematically and not always with a clear picture of what that means."

"Are some of them catastrophically and determinedly evil amongst all the lazy ones?"

"Yes. Relatively small subset that goes around determinedly massacring orphanages, even smaller subset that sits down and starts researching how to suck the world into a hell dimension."

"I should probably see if on this Earth I'm being eleven years old somewhere. Well, ten, if it's summertime."

"- that sounds like a good idea."

"I was told you don't have Internet in here, is that really true?"

"Separate facility, for security reasons. It's not far from here, though."

"I can also do it by conjuration, I just prefer to avoid the clutter when it's feasible."

"The other building's a nice short walk from here." He stands up. "And it's lovely! We're balancing a lot of complicated constraints here but budget isn't one of them."

"I noticed the art department swung through here, yes."

"I'd do this to all the prisons if they'd let me."

"I'm not sure it should be a first priority. Even restricting the scope of priorities to prisons."

"Yes, my pet theory that people are in much better psychological health if their surroundings look fondly designed is totally without evidence. We could check, though."

The new building is across a little stream and wants a password and thumbprint and retina scan and looks much like the prison. 

If it wants these things from Cam too he can provide them.

It does! It has ethernet cables for connecting to his own computer, or he can use theirs.
