LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Jail conditions suddenly matter

Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, incarcerated for his participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, has requested to have his sentence reduced because of what he considers the deplorable conditions he has been forced to put up with.

Perhaps Tarrio might consider, after being released, using the same amount of effort and energy that put him in jail to instead help improve the conditions of our jails and prisons.

The old saying rings true here: “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”
