From Drugs to Mugs

Preview

The message is clear. Substance abuse will change your life in ways you never imagined. Using before and after photos collected from jail mug shots as the foundation for this 48-minute documentary, the authors easily make their case.

The shocking images, taken over time, during the jail booking process, are alarming. The photos clearly illustrate the stark and devastating effects of substance abuse. The program features interviews with incarcerated addicts and experts who encounter the impact of substance abuse on society in their daily work—law enforcement officers, a judge, an addiction recovery specialist and a deputy medical examiner.

From Drugs to Mugs© is a drug education program designed specifically for classroom use and is a collaborative effort that would not have been possible without the input of many dedicated professionals. Special thanks to Deputy Bret King and Deputy Curtis Sanders who were responsible for research, development, and production. Revenue generated from the sale of From Drugs to Mugs© will be used to cover the costs associated with production and shipping and enable the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office to continue to provide educational visits to the youth in classrooms throughout the Pacific Northwest.

The cd portion of From Drugs to Mugs© mug shots represent abusers of heroin, cocaine, alcohol and methamphetamine. The CD does not include information about which mug shot represents which drug or alcohol.

Each copy includes a 48 minute DVD program containing interviews and real-world experience regarding drug use in today’s society.
This program also includes a separate CD collection of 21 pdf images of inmates, who have a history of drug use, which can be used in correlation with the DVD.
