NOT A PRIVILEGE

Dear Editor:

Is M.E. Jollimore mistaken ("Jail for punishment," Sept. 12 letter), 
considering, "I don't believe in rewarding offenders for their crimes," 
while speaking about being allowed to use medications? Are there other 
doctor prescribed medications that Jollimore would prohibit, for cancer, 
AIDS, etc.? Taking medication should not be a privilege.

Stan White, Dillon, Col.
