​Reprocess: to do something again in order to fix or reuse it.

The kids introduce themselves to this man. They say that they are strangers and don't know how things work here.

​

He says, "I think I shall have to report you. I'm fond of children and don't like to get them in trouble, but rather than run the risk of reprocessing myself, I must report you."

​"I hope he isn't too hard on you, but I've been reprocessed once and that was more than enough."

​"You'd better not play games around here or you'll have to go through the Process machine again and you don't want to do that."

​"You may be detained for a few days, but they won't be too hard on you. Just relax and don't fight and it will all be easier for you.
