Carol Robinson: Responsible for his own predicament

Inmate Kevin Walker was quoted in the Nov. 26 edition of the Sun-Star about his bout with valley fever: "That 14-year sentence turned into a life sentence. Because I have this disease for life, and no one has accepted responsibility for putting me in that situation."

Maybe he should accept responsibility for putting himself in that situation. If he hadn't committed a crime, he wouldn't have been in the prison where he caught valley fever.
