Rising heroin arrests link to jail programs and Salvation Army rehab
In Hamilton County, inmates tied to heroin cases, including a man named Willie, describe street-to-rehab shifts after jail. The Salvation Army Norwood center, funded by donations and thrift stores, expanded to 150 beds and uses strict routines, counseling, and work training to rehabilitate men. Graduates must craft post program plans and may stay two extra months with rent while seeking housing, jobs, and church involvement. Willie now supervises donations flow at the center and pursues custody rights for his son.
