Faces of Meth
Faces of Meth is a drug prevention project run by the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office in the U.S. state of Oregon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Faces of Meth )〕 The project uses mug shots of repeat offenders to demonstrate the harmful and damaging effects of methamphetamine on its users. The idea for Faces of Meth began in 2004 when deputy Bret King of the Corrections Division Classification Unit used mug shots to identify individuals with a history of using methamphetamine. King and his co-workers collected images of people charged with crimes related to methamphetamine addiction to document the change in physical appearance over time due to the use of the drug. The project uses before and after mug shot photos to show the physical deterioration of the user as a result of using methamphetamine. The images were originally used in educational slideshow and video presentations delivered to students in Oregon high schools. This Faces of Meth drug prevention strategy has since become popular across the United States.〔
==Background==
Steve Suo, staff writer for ''The Oregonian'', began an investigation into the methamphetamine epidemic taking place on the West Coast of the United States in late 2002. Oregon was especially hit hard by meth at the time, with more addicts per capita than any other state. Suo's story was published in October 2004 as "Unnecessary Epidemic", a five-part investigative series.〔(Faces of Meth ), 2005: "The efforts of this project were first published in the Oregonian as part of their focused efforts on the methamphetamine epidemic ... The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office has provided the pictures posted in the Oregonian Faces of Meth" story on December 28, 2004 to others who are involved in methamphetamine prevention and awareness efforts."

After glancing at her mug shot and seeing how the drug had physically changed her appearance, King began to collect booking photos of meth users on a daily basis, eventually creating "the faces of meth", a slideshow of "the most extreme faces" altered by the devastating effects of meth use.〔
Two months later, on December 28, 2004, ''Oregonian'' reporter Joseph Rose published "Faces of Meth", the first to highlight the before and after photos King had collected. Rose's article discussed the development of King's drug prevention project and the physiological effects of meth on the human body.〔 In May 2005, several of King's images were published as a public service poster in a partnership between ''The Oregonian'' and the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.〔Bottomly 2010: "Later, reporter Joseph Rose wrote the memorable "Faces of Meth," which became a public service poster printed by The Oregonian." For the original PSA poster, see: 〕 King and the Faces of Meth project appeared on ''NBC Nightly News'' in August of that same year.〔 In February 2006, the public affairs television program ''Frontline'' aired "The Meth Epidemic", a documentary produced in association with ''The Oregonian''. The ''Frontline'' episode featured King and showed images from the Faces of Meth project in the first segment, "Uncovering Meth's History and Spread".
