PRISON SHOULD BE A PLACE TO KICK HABIT

I'm responding to the article in yesterday's Province about the need for a
needle exchange in prisons.

We need a needle exchange for prisoners like we need another hole in our heads.

What are drugs doing in prisons in the first place? Prison is a place for
them to get a chance to kick the habit.

People who advocate things such as needle exchanges in prisons should be
charged for aiding and abetting crime and promoting illegal drugs.

Solicitor-General Rich Coleman seems to be the only one who talks any sense
when it comes to crime nowadays.

I hope that you have an editorial thumbs up for him for all the initiatives
he has been taking.

He is a breath of fresh air after years of listening to Ujjal Dosanjh being
an advocate for everything but a doer of little, even though he had the
authority as attorney-general and then as premier of the province.
