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.
