Drugs and pregnancy

[KarlaF]

Hello Guy,

I've been asked to write a small book for kids about amphetamines/crystal meth and have been asked to put mini-debates in it about different issues.

Do you have any idea where I can find quotes from organisations, judges etc about jailing pregnant women who are addicted to drugs? Jailing in this way is not done in the UK (where I'm based), so I don't know the best place to start looking. I need arguments both for and against jailing them.

Thank you very much for your time, and I really hope you can help!

best wishes,
Karla

Karla -

What a great idea for a book! Chy's link looks promising. I'd also query Crystal Meth Anonymous about this - although CMA (like all 12 step programs) has no opinions on anything outside itself, someone there should be able to suggest appropriate sources in a "unofficial" way.

http://www.crystalmeth.org/

Good luck with this.

best,
Guy
