Reporter: Kevin Johnson - USA Today Question: In wake of the Epstein death, I understand that institutions across the bureau are designating specific officers to regularly monitor surveillance video in segregated housing units and other locations where inmates are at some risk for suicide. Is there someone who may be able to elaborate on this effort? Proposed Response: We can confirm that executive staff at the Bureau of Prisons' correctional institutions have recently increased their review of video footage to ensure staff are performing their duties in regularly visiting inmates who have a heightened risk of suicide. Pro osed Response: AD advised to NOT use my earlier draft answer (in italics below) that RSD helped me draft and which drew in the second and third paragraphs below from an answer I sent the WA Post in August. in some of our Medical Referral Centers' specialized mental health units, there ore staff who may observe inmates on camera who may have a heightened need for monitoring. However, this is not a new practice. Separately, we can also share that our institutions' executive staff review video of staff performing their duties, but this is not primarily aimed at watching inmates with a suicide risk. As background, inmates who are at risk for suicide are placed on suicide watch, which is typically a short- term and highly restrictive intervention measure. Every Bureau of Prisons institution has the ability to place an inmate on suicide watch. Suicide watch cells are typically in the BOP's Health Services department, which allows staff to maintain a safe environment for the inmate without compromising the ability to observe and protect the inmate. This environment includes easy access to the room, privacy, unobstructed vision of the inmate at all times, and limits the availability of objects, materials, or architectural features that would allow for easy self-injury. Inmates on suicide watch are evaluated daily by a psychologist and are constantly observed by either staff or inmate companions. Once an inmate is placed on suicide watch, the watch may only be terminated by a BOP psychologist following a face-to-face evaluation with the inmate. As background, the BOP has an extensive Suicide Prevention Program that begins upon an inmate's arrival at each BOP facility. The Suicide Prevention Program at each BOP facility is administered by a Suicide Prevention Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator, who must be a doctoral-level psychologist, ensures compliance with suicide intervention and prevention policies, which include training, identification, referral, assessment, and intervention. During the initial intake screening by medical staff, inmates complete a psychological questionnaire. Psychology Services staff are immediately notified if suicidal ideation is apparent from an inmate's responses.

Internal Notes: explained to me by phone today the info in the first paragraph of the answer above, whereas the language in the second and third paragraphs above are copied from an answer IPPA leadership finalized that I sent to the WA Post in August (that answer is copied below). explained that executive staff at institutions may be more likely to review rounds of tape of staff to be sure they're performing their duties recently. This is what I was referencing in the third sentence of the first paragraph. We may NOT want to include that in our answer (I'll ask CPD), but I included it for now just in case we want to use it. said SHU does not have cameras watching inmates for suicide risk, but there are cameras in SHU units focused on the range generally (not on a particular cell); it is not standard practice to have a camera in a SHU cell. Bottom line - the reporter is probably not referencing cameras in SHU. says we don't do mental health observation in SHU unless there was a waiver and specific policy in place. Answer sent to WA Post on 8/21/2019 (finalized by IPPA leadership after consulting NM): The safety of staff, inmates, and the public is the highest priority for the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). The BOP has an extensive Suicide Prevention Program that begins upon an inmate's arrival at each BOP facility, including pretrial facilities such as MCC New York. See BOP Program Statement 5324.08 "Suicide Prevention Program" here Imps: S \NI\ w.bop.gov policy progstat/5324_008.pdf and BOP Program Statement 5310.17 "Psychology Services Manual" here https: ‘‘.\\ ‘‘.bop.go policy progstai 5310 017.pdll During the initial intake screening by medical staff, inmates complete a psychological questionnaire. Psychology Services staff are immediately notified if suicidal ideation is apparent from the responses. Further, any BOP staff member may place an inmate on suicide watch. The Suicide Prevention Program at each BOP facility is administered by a Suicide Prevention Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator, who must be a doctoral-level psychologist, ensures compliance with suicide intervention and prevention policies, which include training, identification, referral, assessment, and intervention. In BOP facilities, suicide watch is typically a short-term and highly restrictive intervention measure. Every institution has one or more rooms designated specifically for housing an inmate on suicide watch. These areas are set aside as special cells, typically in the BOP's Health Services division, which allow staff to maintain a safe environment for the inmate without compromising the ability to observe and protect the inmate. This environment includes easy access to the room, privacy, unobstructed vision of the inmate at all times, and limited availability of objects, materials, or architectural features that would allow for easy self-injury. Inmates on suicide watch are evaluated daily by apsychologist and are constantly observed by either staff or inmate companions. Once an inmate is placed on suicide watch, the watch may only be terminated by a BOP psychologist following a face-to-face evaluation with the inmate. With regard to staffing levels, 15,012 correctional officers are currently working at the BOP and 1,654 correctional officer positions are vacant as of August 3, 2019. The BOP continues to work on hiring and retaining staff nationally. As you are aware, the Epstein case is currently under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General. The BOP is also conducting an After Action Review and a Suicide Reconstruction Review. The BOP will assess any additional measures which should be taken after those processes are completed. The factors that lead an inmate from suicidal ideation to suicidal behavior are complex. Those factors include an individual's access to means (e.g., pills or razors), opportunity (e.g., privacy to implement a Page 14404 EFTA00044915
plan), motivation, and subjective feelings of defeat or humiliation. Justin Long Public Information Office Federal Bureau of Prisons (202) 353-4464 »> Justin B.

These areas are set aside as special cells, typically in the BOP's Health Services division, which allow staff to maintain a safe environment for the inmate without compromising the ability to observe and protect the inmate. This environment includes easy access to the room, privacy, unobstructed vision of the inmate at all times, and limited availability of objects, materials, or architectural features that would allow for easy self- injury. Inmates on suicide watch are evaluated daily by a psychologist and are constantly observed by either staff or inmate companions. Once an inmate is placed on suicide watch, the watch may only be terminated by a BOP psychologist following a face-to-face evaluation with the inmate. As background, the BOP has an extensive Suicide Prevention Program that begins upon an inmate's arrival at each BOP facility. The Suicide Prevention Program at each BOP facility is administered by a Suicide Prevention Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator, who must be a doctoral-level psychologist, ensures compliance with suicide intervention and prevention policies, which include training, identification, referral, assessment, and intervention. During the initial intake screening by medical staff, inmates complete a psychological questionnaire. Psychology Services staff are immediately notified if suicidal ideation is apparent from an inmate's responses. For more information, see BOP Program Statement 5324.08 "Suicide Prevention Program" here https://www.bop.gov/policy/progstat/5324_008.pdfand BOP Program Statement 5310.17 "Psychology Services Manual" here https://wmv.bop.govipolicy/progstat/5 10_0174AI Internal Notes: explained to me by phone today the info in the first paragraph of the answer above, whereas the language in the second and third paragraphs above are copied from an answer IPPA leadership finalized that I sent to the WA Post in August (that answer is copied below). explained that executive staff at institutions may be more likely to review rounds of tape of staff to be sure they're performing their duties recently. This is what I was referencing in the third sentence of the first paragraph. We may NOT want to include that in our answer (I'll ask CPD), but I included it for now just in case we want to use it. said SHU does not have cameras watching inmates for suicide risk, but there are cameras in SHU units focused on the range generally (not on a particular cell); it is not standard practice to have a camera in a SHU cell. Bottom line - the reporter is probably not referencing cameras in SHU. says we don't do mental Page 14413 EFTA00044924
health observation in SHU unless there was a waiver and specific policy in place. Answer sent to WA Post on 8/21/2019 (finalized by IPPA leadership after consulting EM): The safety of staff, inmates, and the public is the highest priority for the Bureau of Prisons (BOP). The BOP has an extensive Suicide Prevention Program that begins upon an inmate's arrival at each BOP facility, including pretrial facilities such as MCC New York. See BOP Program Statement 5324.08 "Suicide Prevention Program" here hops: www.hop.wx_pol icy progstat,5324_008.pdt and BOP Program Statement 5310.17 "Psychology Services Manual" here Illtpti: \\\%%%.bop.go% policy prQg.stat. C310 01 7.p(11; During the initial intake screening by medical staff, inmates complete a psychological questionnaire. Psychology Services staff are immediately notified if suicidal ideation is apparent from the responses. Further, any BOP staff member may place an inmate on suicide watch. The Suicide Prevention Program at each BOP facility is administered by a Suicide Prevention Program Coordinator. The Program Coordinator, who must be a doctoral-level psychologist, ensures compliance with suicide intervention and prevention policies, which include training, identification, referral, assessment, and intervention.

Inmates on suicide watch are evaluated daily by apsychologist and are constantly observed by either staff or inmate companions. Once an inmate is placed on suicide watch, the watch may only be terminated by a BOP psychologist following a face-to-face evaluation with the inmate. With regard to staffing levels, 15,012 correctional officers are currently working at the BOP and 1,654 correctional officer positions are vacant as of August 3, 2019. The BOP continues to work on hiring and retaining staff nationally. As you are aware, the Epstein case is currently under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General. The BOP is also conducting an After Action Review and a Suicide Reconstruction Review. The BOP will assess any additional measures which should be taken after those processes are completed. The factors that lead an inmate from suicidal ideation to suicidal behavior are complex. Those factors include an individual's access to means (e.g., pills or razors), opportunity (e.g., privacy to implement a plan), motivation, and subjective feelings of defeat or humiliation.

Civil Chief invited but not sure yet if will attend. On August 20th, the Judge held oral argument over Plaintiffs spoliation motion. Bistrian claims the US should have a negative inference drawn against it because we have not produced a video showing Aaron Taylor being brought out of his cell on his way to the rec cage. Bistrian argued it was incompetent and likely intentional that no video of Taylor getting a pat down and wanded when he came out of his cell exists. He said staff likely destroyed the video to cover up and protect the officers who were not doing their job. oral argument the Judge stunningly referenced Epstein during the following exchange with THE COURT: MR.

ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT COULD BE IGNORED BY YOUR OFFICE." I was shocked when she said this, although her disdain for the BOP has been obvious all summer so I suppose I should have seen it coming. She has appeared to have a hearty bias against the BOP throughout both trials. She said she would take the Spoliation arguments under advisement. Closing arguments had been rescheduled by the Judge, for the second time, to Wednesday August 28th, and when they arrived the law clerk said Judge Rufe wanted to see counsel in chambers. (So nothing is on the record...yet). The Judge told counsel that seeing the razor logs that were entered into evidence the previous week had jogged her memory about when Kareem Milhouse attacked his attorney in the Marshals holding area in early 2006. She said she handled the trial and recalled it involved a razor attack by a SHU inmate. The Judge went on to say that she had already pulled and reviewed transcripts from the Milhouse trial and mentioned Jezior's testimony in particular. She said it seems relevant to her what FDC knew earlier in 2006 prior to the assault by Taylor on Bistrian in October 2006. All were somewhat stunned, but Bazelon eagerly took his cues from the Judge and said this was relevant information and he absolutely needs to know how this was investigated and if FDC staff took any particular actions regarding razors after the incident. The Judge brought up "recusal" and said she doesn't need to recuse herself because this is "about justice..." She apparently repeated "this is about justice" several times. The United States did not say much other than they did not believe Milhouse information, or specific information about other razor attacks had been requested in discovery but that we would look back at the discovery requests. Then the Judge sent everyone on their way and said that the parties should think about how this should be handled. At this point, nothing in terms of the Court is on the record. The meeting at 1:30 tomorrow is to decide what tactics the USAO will take in response to Judge Rufe's actions. Written opposition seems to be a minimum, moving for recusal is of course very controversial but has to be considered. As stakeholders, the USAO would like you two to participate if possible. If the 1:30 meeting is not doable for both, or either of you, we can set up a call after their meeting. Page 14445 EFTA00044956
