LISTEN TO KRELL'S INMATES

The Tribune says there will be disciplinary charges for guards'
treatment of inmates in the death of Florence Krell (Florida/Metro,
March 5). This woman had written letters asking for help, and I, like
others, believe there is more here than meets the eye.

There should be a panel to listen to all inmates before deciding what
to do to the guards. I'm sure if inmates' names weren't used, we would
probably hear what has been going on behind closed and locked doors.
No one who has any involvement with prisoners, including the warden,
should be present. Krell was serving 18 months, which is too short to
cause her to want to end her own life.

I have a feeling some of the guards should be behind bars. Then maybe
they would know what mistreatment is all about.
