Still here: Cycling between the jail and the mental health hospital

Fractured

WFAE's “Fractured” series began with the story of John, a 32-year-old Charlotte man living with severe mental illness and intellectual disabilities. John was arrested more than five years ago and has been in custody ever since — but he’s never had a trial. WFAE caught up with John, where he's still stuck in a system that isn't working well, cycling between the jail and the hospital with no end in sight.
