It's possible -- but left indeterminate like much else in this section. It's
clear that she's not in the re-education camp while she's testifying before
the grand jury, and the insinuation seems to be that she is taking the drugs
volitionally (eg. "breakfast having been two or three time-bomb
tranquilizers and some instant coffee"). The story she tells DL (260-1)
doesn't match up with this episode -- the time, place and circumstances are
totally different.
