ABC News Nightline The Doctor and the Reverend (Part 1 & 2 of Seville's story) (2 DVD set)

In the most dangerous, drug infested city streets stagger the addicts who are so lost in drugs that it is hard to imagine how they might ever get out. And so many never do. ABC News met some of those people 10 years ago when they visited a North Philadelphia neighborhood, riddled by drugs and crime, known as the Badlands. It was as hopeless a neighborhood, as hopeless a group of people, as you might ever meet. One of the unforgettable men ABC News met in the Badlands was Seville, a nickname Merrill Jackson acquired as a car thief. He was also known as "The Doctor," because he ran a drug house where he sold drugs and helped addicts find veins. Seville was probably the last person you would have expected to clean up his act. But with the help of Reverend Joann Muller, a suburban mother of five, Seville is clean and sober. And he is a powerful expert witness on what life is like deep inside addiction. Part One.

Merrill "Seville" Jackson was a drug dealing heroin addict running a shooting gallery in the Badlands of North Philadelphia. Reverend Joann Muller was a suburban mother of five, dedicated to making a difference in the world, somehow. Seville, who earned his nickname from a predilection for stealing Cadillacs, was also known in those days as "the doctor," because he sold drugs and helped long-time addicts like himself find a vein to inject drugs, even when those veins were collapsing. Seville and Rev. Muller explain how Seville kicked his habit after 37 years of drug addiction. Part Two.
