Assistant United States Attorney Southern District of New York 1 St. Andrew's Plaza New York, NY 10007 From: Bruce Barket <I Sent: Thursda Au st 29 2019 5:25 PM To: > Subject: MCC conditions Michael Bachrach I am writing as I have been asked to update everyone on the continuing problems at the facility. Mr. Tartaglione has not has books swapped out since was kind enough to do it himself on August 15th. His radio has needed batteries for several days. The guards simply refuse to provide him with the batteries and new books he believes are in his property. Several guards have been making comments to him such as "You're threatening our lives" and "Give the big mouth his try" and similar remarks aimed at intimidating him and conveying to him their displeasure with his complaints. As for visiting I arrived on Sunday and waited nearly 50 minutes because there was not staff in the lobby to process legal visits. I was able to see my client by 9;10, but I couldn't stay through SDNY_Oom6968 Page 14289 Page 23 EFTA00138878
the count so 1 had to leave before 9:30. 1 know 1 did not make an appointment but the issue wasn't a free room, but adequate staffing in the lobby. Yesterday I was able to see my client at 5:00 as scheduled. Bruce A. Barket, Esq.
