okaaay so then you know that you strongly implied that all the security keeping him unable to use magic is gone and that he has a wand and that you're the one who did it.
Oh, those are still present, I just shoved them back out to the perimeter of the grounds and they'll still swat him down and drop him back in the cell if he tries to leave.
Sometimes, sentences can be so detailed they end up inadvertently vague. @absintheabsence ‘s says he can't leave [STRICKEN FROM THE RECORD], but says nothing about where in [STRICKEN FROM THE RECORD] he has to stay. It only specifies where he's 'imprisoned' but under current European law it's no longer legal to keep a prisoner confined to a cell 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and the new laws did not have any sort of grandfathering in of old sentences.That means that portion of the sentencing was effectively stricken as illegal in 1988 so I feel absolutely no need to enforce it as that would be a violation of international law.
Use of solitary confinement is now illegal in several countries as well and that barbaric little requirement was stricken in the mid-80s so, again, I feel absolutely no need to enforce it as it would be a violation of international law.
It specifies prisoner specific magic negating wards in addition to the magic sapping nonsense built into the damn stone. It does not specify where those wards have to be positioned, just that their presence at [STRICKEN FROM THE RECORD] is required. Technically, they don’t even have to be running, they just have to be there.
No mention of wands or the prohibition thereof; they assumed it was covered under "prisoner specific magic negating wards" and that that, plus the building's--unique way of powering itself would make any wand he got ahold of useless anyway.
So, I gave him one of mine last August; the one I knew would turn the instant he touched it (though knowing that didn't completely eliminate the brief flash of, 'Wow, really?! Not even a second thought?')
If you've ever spent more than ten minutes around me after accidentally saying the word "Azkaban" where I could hear, you'll also be aware that I have a reasonably progressive-liberal view on Wizarding prison systems anyway.
Also, I went over the whole massive stack of trial documentation with Lagraff back in 1986, so we could be sure my interpretations were accurate based on the text and what a pity they can't go back and make changes to it because they were kind enough to include a clause that leaves no room for semantics on that particular part.
I adore that Goblin, even if I'm not allowed on his furniture anymore. It's Goblin sized anyway.
To answer the statement-question there, however, I did not imply anything of the sort and it is not gone. It is still very much intact, which I know, as I’m the one who repairs it on a regular basis.
