The star projector was not brought here when we were transferred, else I would not be making such a request. With all apologies to your sense of gratification.
The stars serve several purposes. Currently, I am arranging a new program to serve as a memorial for inmates who wish to dedicate a star or constellation to a loved one, allowing them to mourn and remember those important to them. They also provide comfort and familiarity to those of us who are used to seeing stars in the sky at night. In the previous dome several inmates requested templates of the skyline from their home world. Additionally, they will allow the dome to feel more ownership and pride in our surroundings since it is something they helped to create -- part of the purpose, I would assume, to allowing inmates to take over the various establishments in the dome. All of these could easily be considered rehabilitative.
