I'm doing a bit of tweaking to characters' backstory for my main WIP, and I need help with a few specific things. Namely, do hospitals have security cameras, and if so, are they in patients' rooms? Also, how long would they hold onto old footage?
The incident in question -- a failed kidnapping of a young man's infant daughter shortly after his wife dies of puerperal fever -- happens ~17 years prior to the start of the novel. (The story itself is set on and just after Halloween of 2011; the failed kidnapping happened in late November of 1994.) The footage is not going to be actually looked at during the story, but it would be a good thing if my characters could say at any point in their lives, "I have proof of this happening, and you can find it there."
