YOUR "GONE to pot" pun still cracks me up every time. ("Jail hasn't
gone to pot just yet," Jan. 23). I assume that if Grant Krieger was
diabetic he would have to surrender his contraband syringes to the
jail infirmary which is responsible for securing and administering
his medicine. I suspect that if Krieger required narcotic painkillers
he would have to visit the infirmary to get and, perhaps, consume his
medicine.

Now that Krieger's jailers have taken his medicine, I guess he will
have to purchase cannabis from the guards or switch to heroin like
the other criminals. How this will benefit society or rehabilitate
Krieger is a mystery to me.
