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.
