Dr. Jeremiah Arkham recently notified Bruce Wayne and the other members of the Rehabilitation Board at Arkham Asylum that Dr. Hazel Birch has filed for an oversight review of Patient 0422; Pamela Isley A.K.A Poison Ivy. Dr. Arkham also sent Bruce Wayne a personal letter which has been transcribed into the log.

My Dear Mr. Wayne,

I realize it has been some time sense our last interaction, but since your corporation is the primary security provider for my hospital, and your own generous donations have made it possible for us to continue treatment of our patients and made it possible for us to maintain constantly up-to-date security I felt it prudent to inform you of a recent motion brought before us by one of our resident psychiatrist's Hazel Birch.

Doctor Birch is moving for a re-evaluation of Pamela Isley whom you may know better as the rather infamous Poison Ivy; many men throughout the city's powerful elite have been lured into her schemes in the past, including yourself, sir. Because of this I wished to bring the matter to your direct attention and have taken the time to compose this hand written letter which I will be labeling for your eyes only in the post. Doctor Birch has been treating Patient 0422 for nearly nine months now. Three months ago Isley had a mental break down. The patient began sobbing uncontrollably and screaming so loudly as to disturb the other patients within the maximum security ward of the hospital. She was inconsolable, refusing to even speak with any of us and demanding to see Dr. Birch.

The doctor was contacted and she and Isley met in the designated therapy meeting room for the Max. Sec. patients. Isley showed signs of extreme remorse and trauma, and made claims of sexual abuse by a "Hugh Manning." At this time we have not been able to confirm these claims and their validity is still in question a weeks later patient 0422 managed to acquire contraband material, specifically she was able to obtain plant genes and use them to grow a deadly plant commonly called Deadly Nightshade. She used it to attack her guards, and Dr. Birch, in a fit of anger.

Dr. Birch maintains that this was a momentary lapse in judgment, the result of stressful therapy techniques which she inaccurately theorized that Pamela was ready for. Eyewitness testimony declares that Isley was, in fact, the only thing that prevented Dr. Birch's demise. After a week in recuperation in the hospital Dr. Birch returned to work and continued therapy with the patient. She now maintains that over the past two months Pamela Isley has show noticeable improvement and on the surface I am inclined to agree with her.

During the eighth month of therapy, November, Dr. Birch inquired into Pamela Isley's religious beliefs and the patient opened up to her. They have since developed a rapport which I must admit is remarkable to me and unlike any I have seen before in this institution. The patient no longer requires restraints, and though she remains in her maximum security cell her guards and psychiatrist have expressed opinion that such precautions are no longer necessary. In spite of this, I have over-ruled Dr. Birch's motion to have Isley removed from Max. Sec.

If you have not already guessed, sir, I believe the patient is attempt to deceive my staff. She has long shown a tendency towards misandry, that is to say, the hatred of men; however, she has recently begun to show capability of tolerating the presence of male guards, even being fairly civilized with them, without showing any of her usual flirtatious or insinuative tendencies. This is unusual, even if she were to be recovering from her more violently unstable behavior, misandry is a psychological condition that affects many women and it is unlikely to disappear through the course of the therapy that has been focused on treating the patient's more violent tendencies. If anything, it should become more prevalent as her more hostile desires diminished.

Isley continues to express remorse for her prior misconduct and criminal behavior, and she has been witnessed many times breaking down in tears and bemoaning the lives she has taken in the past. I do not believe this remorse, Mr. Wayne. Pamela Isley is a very dangerous woman; she is notorious for her deception and guile, and I do not think this instance is any different than her previous attempts.

Despite my misgivings however, I am not in a position to oppose her reevaluation at this time. She is no longer showing any violent urges and has participated in no such activities. She has kept a constant record of good conduct over the past two months, and she is showing marked improvement in her social and behavioral norms. I will soon have no choice but to admit her for reevaluation and consideration for the Patient Rehabilitation Program; which you are currently a chief board member of.

I simply wished to inform you of my professional opinion before you and the rest of the board were forced to sit down for an appeal with the patient, her doctor, and her lawyer. Do not let her deceive you again, Mr. Wayne, you have seen what this woman is capable of. I implore you, do not allow her to leave the Asylum; I do not believe she can be cured at all, and she is certainly to dangerous to admit into the rehab program.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jeremiah Arkham

Arkham Asylum Psychiatric Hospital for the Criminally Insane

I consider Jeremiah Arkham to be of questionable sanity, and I've never considered his opinion to be a particularly valid one. He is a notoriously paranoid, passive-aggressive individual who is notoriously favorable towards the patients who have the best chance of elevating the fame and prestige of himself and his institution.

That said, Arkham's analysis may not be completely without merit. While I always attempt to keep a faithful hope that our adversaries can be helped and reformed, the possibility of Poison Ivy turning over a new leaf seems unlikely.
