On this Reveal pilot, WBEZ reporters show how heroin moves from Juarez to Chicago and into the Midwest; reports from inside "The Box" from teens in solitary confinement. And an update on the Center for Investigative Reporting's examination of prescription drug abuse in the VA. Hosted by Al Letson from State of the Re:Union and WJCT, Jacksonville.

Learn more or listen again to this episode.
