SOME PRISONS HAVE DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAMS

In response to Feb. 16 letter writer Paul Glanville's statement that
there are no drug treatment programs in our prisons, let me let the
public know that this is not true. I am an English teacher at David
Wade Correctional Center, and I get to teach the men that participate
day in and day out in the many self-help programs such as Alcoholics
Anonymous-Narcotics Anonymous that DWCC has to offer. I have been
asked to speak at an AA-NA meeting, and I witnessed firsthand the way
these men are being steered to turn their lives around from a
first-rate staff. These men have made mistakes in their lives and for
someone to print in the newspaper that they are doing nothing to help
themselves could not go unanswered by someone who sees firsthand from
the inside.
