This ward is dedicated to assisting those who qualify for rehabilitation and medical attention under the new "Death Eater Rights" laws regarding those proven guilty but working with a plea bargain for war crimes against the Ministry of Magic. This includes but is not limited to Death Eaters, their sympathizers, and the immediate family members of the two former categories.
“About ten years ago, I was introduced to the concept of a "reformed" Death Eater; a close friend and fellow member of the Order of the Phoenix confessed he had not only fallen in love with a Death Eater, but his lover had abandoned his racist ways altogether and had begun - in his own unique ways - to contribute a positive mark on society. And with wizarding society in the midst of a revolution, with the fall of Voldemort leading to such dramatic social and community changes, it occurred to me that the same individuals that had caused such scarring on our world could also - given the right motivation - heal and strengthen it. Death Eaters have among them some of the most talented, powerful, and creative people in Europe; such a shame to let such abilities go to waste!
And if one looks into the history of those who joined Voldemort's ranks, a reoccurring theme surfaces: a thirst for change, substantial pressure through family obligations and peers, and all manner of depression and self-loathing. For example, take Headmaster Severus Snape: born into poverty, his father abusive and his mother very ill during his childhood, and forever looming in the background the strong wizarding heritage his mother spoke about in the years before his leave to Hogwarts. The Princes were rich, proud, untouchable - and the only source for any of Snape's self-esteem, as his father sought to squash his love of magic at every turn. And with his mother's death during his years at Hogwarts, what else could be expected of such a sad, lonely little boy but to seek friends connected to his heritage, proud and rich as Snape wished to be? And with his father's continued abuse, and later Lily Evans's rejection, who could blame poor Snape for his choice to join his pureblood friends in the fight to restore what Snape thought to be the right order: scum like his drunken father at the bottom of a system that would restore honor in the Prince's bloodline.
And what about those born into riches and pride? Taught when very young that they are part of something important, better than anyone else, the top of a society laced with power and gold. The self-esteem of most young purebloods was placed in the size of their family vault and the strength of their line; who is to blame for this? The innocent children, brainwashed from birth, or the parents who refused to break the chain of delusion started by their ancestors?”
