Prison Drug Trading Presentation

Imagine you are a corrections professional working in a prison. You come across an inmate who appears to be under the influence of a drug. You take action against the inmate and immediately remove him from the rest of the population. You must now justify your actions through a presentation to your immediate supervisor.

 

Obtain an instructor-assigned drug from the following list:

 

· Alcohol

 

· Cocaine

 

· Heroin

 

· Marijuana

 

· LSD

 

· Methamphetamine

 

· Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)

 

Create an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation explaining the situation and justifying your actions to your supervisor. Include the following:

 

· Describe the symptoms you observed that led you to believe the inmate was under the influence of a drug.

 

· Describe the physiological effects of the drug you believe the inmate used.

 

· Describe the possible consequences of leaving the inmate with the general population.

 

· Explain why you do or do not believe other inmates are using the substance, as well.

 

· Propose a plan for determining if the substance is being sold within the prison.

 

Include detailed speaker notes.

 

Include a minimum of two sources.

 

Format any citations in your presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
