----- 3 stars ----- Seven Days of Heroin: This is What an Epidemic Looks Like / Cincinnati Enquirer The Enquirer sent more than 60 reporters, photographers and videographers into their communities to chronicle an ordinary week in this extraordinary time. [...] Jeremiah Dotson stands before the judge at the Hamilton County Courthouse, hands shackled behind his back. He’s been in this spot before. Two years ago, he was charged with heroin possession. Since then, he’s missed meetings with his probation officer and failed to submit urine samples for drug testing. Judge Melba Marsh looks over his record and tells him he has a choice between two doors: One leads to jail, the other to a treatment facility. “Which one are you thinking you want to go through?” Marsh asks. Dotson chooses jail. “You’re not going to change me,” he says.
