Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden spoke out against North Carolina's jail inspection process on Wednesday, arguing the state's review was unfair and that his office wasn't aware of a new standard for inspections.
Mecklenburg County has failed multiple state inspections for its jail in recent years, but McFadden held a news conference Wednesday morning to voice his complaints with the state and made some strong accusations against the Department of Health and Human Services. State law requires every detention center to be inspected at least twice per year, with some facilities being inspected more often on an "as necessary" basis. Those facilities could face further inspections for issues like in-custody deaths and other incidents of concern.
