70 Minutes of Neglect in Detention

Published 3 days, 14 hours ago
Description

Newly released footage from Mecklenburg County’s detention center reveals a harrowing 70-minute delay in medical response to Russell Fincham’s overdose — a timeline that underscores systemic neglect and fuels ongoing lawsuits. Captured just days after his arrest for car theft, the video shows Fincham deteriorating in the detox unit while staff ignore his pleas for help, with medical personnel not arriving until nearly an hour later — and even then, they linger outside his unit before initiating life-saving measures. His mother, who described him as a vibrant young man, insists this was a constitutional violation and says the public must witness the footage to grasp the gravity of what happened.
