Listen "Stuck in the Bluff"
Episode Synopsis
Needle exchange programs began springing up in the 1980’s during the AIDS crisis.
Countless lives have been saved by providing IV drug users with clean needles.
But even now, with hundreds of programs across the US and throughout the world, some states still view distributing needles as illegal.
This week, WABE reporter Jim Burress takes us to ‘The Bluff’, a neighborhood in Atlanta where a needle exchange program—breaking the law every day– has become a vital part of a struggling community.
