I think JD2 is used to constant free-floating disapproval, arbitrary sternness with no positive reinforcement, and impossibly high demands that are never clearly explained. So I actually imagine he would do very well with the Lan approach, and wouldn't find it torturous at all. :-) Plus WWX would occasionally drop by and actually be nice to him and indicate he's a good kid! It'd be unprecedented warmth and affection.
(The fact that the Lan clan seems to have no rules against having sex with prisoners did stick very unpleasantly in my mind, though.)
