Barracks and jails have always been notorious places for spreading disease. It always surprises people when they learn that jailers in Oklahoma are not certified by the Department of Public Safety, but by the Department of Health. Add to that the fact that roughly 75% of the inmates coming into the jail have something physically or mentally wrong with them, and you begin to see the problem.

In Mr. Flor's case, his health was failing even before he entered prison, and the physical and emotional stress placed upon him did nothing to help him. He received a life sentence for doing something perfectly legal under Montana law.

Chalk up another victim for Eric Holder, the Department of Justice, and the War on Drugs.
