METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST SECURITY INSPECTIONS PURPOSE OF INSPECTIONS: Security inspections are necessary to control the introduction of contraband and prevent escapes. One of the chief duties of the Chief Correctional Supervisor is to establish a formalized plan of inspections that will cover every part of the institution at least once a week. In general, these inspections include doors, locking devices, fire extinguishers, grills, windows, building walls, perimeter walls, etc. Inspections are required even if no discrepancies are found the day prior. All staff will conduct inspections within their area of responsibility for contraband and security violations. The staff will report any discrepancies to the OPS LT, and prepare a Minor Work Request to correct the concern. Staff responsible for their department will initial the security inspection form located by the control centers indicating they have checked their area of responsibility. SEARCHING INMATES: The human body can serve as a potential hiding place for contraband. For that reason, it may become necessary to strip and search an inmate at various times. Further information regarding the proper techniques for searching an individual can be found in institution policy and the Correctional Services Manual. In order to prevent the introduction of contraband, routine and unscheduled searches of inmate's person, housing units, work areas, or other facilities used or frequented by inmates must be conducted. This will include thorough searches of inmate's clothing, personal property at the time of admission; searches of inmate's person and quarters when it is suspected he/she is concealing contraband; his/her place of work, recreation areas on a routine or unscheduled basis as directed by supervising personnel. Such searches may be initiated on an individual inmate basis, or mass searches may be ordered when contraband is suspected of being in the possession of unknown individuals. Pat Searches: Pat searches will be conducted on a routine basis solely as a means to control contraband. Before a pat search is conducted, the inmate will be asked to remove any head gear and the contents out of his/her pockets. The head gear and personal effects will be inspected after removal and placed out of reach from the inmate. Male and female inmates will be pat searched in the same manner, with the exception of the chest area. A staff member will search the female inmate's chest area using the back of the hand. Pat searches of the male inmate and the rest of the female inmate will be done with the inside, (palm and fingers), of the hand.

CELL ASSIGNMENT - SEXUAL OFFENDER/PROTECTIVE CUSTODY Cell assignments will be determined in an methodical manner. This involves the SHU Lieutenant and OIC, Psychology staff, Unit Team as well as Investigative staff, in determining suitability of cellmates for inmates in protective custody and/or sexual offenders. Most inmates do not like to be housed with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates. Housing the wrong inmates with sexual offenders or protective custody inmates, can lead to serious assaults and/or homicide. Inmates cannot be allowed to choose their roommates, but it is understood that some inmates may be better housed with inmates of like backgrounds/affiliations, than arbitrarily housing the inmates without considering all variables. As noted earlier, protective custody and sexual offenders will be screened thoroughly. If there are no single cells available, this review will be crucial in minimizing the potential for assault. HIGH RISK LIST During the weekly SHU meeting, the Warden will be provided a list of those inmates who are considered high risk from a psychological and management stand point. The Captain and Chief Psychologist should be responsible for generating this list. This list will be provided to the Lieutenants' office and the Duty Officers so they are informed should a high risk inmate act out and be in need of medical or psychological attention.

Segregation Log Book: Any changes in inmate behaviors should be noted in the TRUSCOPE program. A detailed note regarding the observed behavior is advisable. Documenting in the TRUSCOPE program serves two purposes. First, the entry serves as a means of communication for other staff members. Second, it provides an accurate account of activity during your shift. Documentation should be neat, legible, and professional. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 23 of 29 EFTA00133057
METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST RESPONDING TO A SUICIDE EMERGENCY A Segregation Officer observing an inmate in the act of committing suicide, causing other self-injurious behavior, or who appears to have committed suicide will call for back-up before entering the cell. The officer will notify the Control Center and the Lieutenant's Office by radio of the situation and request immediate back-up. BACK-UP MUST BE PRESENT IN ORDER TO ENTER A CELL. The "cut- down" tool is located in the storage closet on a shadow board. It is the #1 officer's responsibility to locate this item at the start of the shift. This tool is only authorized to be used in emergency situations. Miscellaneous use of this tool is not permitted and will result in dulling the blade of the tool. In the event an inmate commits suicide, the scene of the suicide will be treated in a manner consistent with the investigation of an inmate death. All measures necessary to preserve and document the evidence needed to support subsequent investigations will be maintained or otherwise adequately recorded. SEXUAL ASSAULT PROTOCOL Reporting In all cases of reported sexually abusive behaviors (e.g., from alleged victim, staff, and/or "third party") the following will occur: The Operations Lieutenant will be notified immediately and he/she will: • Immediately safeguard the inmate (which will vary depending on the severity of the alleged sexually abusive behavior and could range from monitoring the situation, changing housing assignments, changing work assignment, placing alleged victim and perpetrator in Special Housing, etc.); • Promptly refer all inmates reported or suspected of being the victim of sexually abusive behavior to Psychology Services for assessment of vulnerability and treatment needs; • During business hours, ensure that the SIS, Chief of Correctional Services, Program Coordinator, and Warden are notified; and During non-business hours, ensure that the SIS, Chief of Correctional Services, Program Coordinator, Duty Officer, and the on-call Psychologist are notified. • The Program Coordinator will review the psychological assessment and other relevant factors and make a determination as to whether or not to proceed with the full activation of the Response Protocol.

METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Responding Not all allegations of sexually abusive behavior will require full activation of the Response Protocol. In some cases, the Program Coordinator will determine that there is not sufficient reason to proceed (e.g., the alleged victim credibly recanted; the alleged perpetrator was not in the institution on the date of the allegation, the inmates involved independently report a non-coercive sexual encounter, etc.) and the Response Protocol may be terminated. In cases where more information is needed, or in cases where there is a credible and serious allegation or instance of sexually abusive behavior, the full Response Protocol will be implemented. Once the Program Coordinator determines that the intervention should continue, a sensitive and coordinated response is necessary. Services will be provided in an environment that meets both security and therapeutic needs. The full Response Protocol, monitored by the Program Coordinator, involves the following components: Protection All appropriate staff will consult and determine the actions to be taken to prevent further sexually abusive behavior both to the alleged victim (e.g. change in work assignments, change in housing assignment, closer supervision, protective custody, transfer, etc.) and/or by the alleged perpetrator (e.g., remove from compound, change housing assignment, etc.). The Captain will ensure that a STG category of "V SA UNV" is entered into SENTRY, and in instances where an inmate perpetrator is alleged, will enter the STG category of "P SA WV" for that inmate (See Section 13.b. for further details). PSYCHOLOGICAL: Psychology staff are responsible for crisis intervention, assessment of treatment needs, documentation of the evaluation results, treatment, psychiatric referral, and/or other treatment options related to the alleged victim. In addition, Psychology staff provide guidance to Unit Management and Community Corrections staff regarding an inmate's post-release mental health needs. Inmate perpetrators (or alleged perpetrators) of sexually abusive behaviors will be referred by the Operations Lieutenant to Psychology Services. Inmates considered high-risk for sexual re-offending may be referred to specialty treatment and/or management programs, individual or group counseling, or may be managed through standard correctional techniques.

METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST If an inmate perpetrator is determined in need of treatment services and refuses treatment, Psychology Services staff will document the refusal and place it in the medical section of the Inmate Central File and notify the referring staff of the refusal. Documentation of treatment compliance or refusal ensures continuity of care within, between, and outside the Bureau. Examination Medical staff are responsible for examination, documentation, and treatment of inmate injuries arising from sexually abusive behaviors, including testing when appropriate for pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Where indicated, medical staff, trained in the collection of sexual assault evidence (i.e., "rape kit") should conduct an examination for physical evidence which may be used later in formal investigations. At institutions where Health Services staff are neither trained nor certified in sexual assault evidence gathering, the inmate will be examined at the institution by trained health care professionals from the local community or at the local community facility equipped (in accordance with local laws) to evaluate and treat sexual assault victims. Prophylactic treatment and follow-up for sexually transmitted diseases will be offered to all inmate victims, as appropriate. Whenever an inmate is referred to Health Services for examination and treatment of injuries related to sexually abusive behavior, staff will encourage the inmate victim to complete an Inmate Injury Assessment and Follow-up form (BP-5362) as required by the Program Statement on Patient Care. Investigation In cases where the full Response Protocol is activated, staff are trained to investigate allegations of sexually abusive behavior thoroughly. The information concerning the identity of the alleged inmate victim and the specific facts of the case are limited to those staff who need-to-know because of their involvement with the victim's welfare and the investigation of the incident. This is important not only to preserve the victim's privacy but also to preserve maximum flexibility to investigate the allegations. Initial Notifications: Upon activating the full Response Protocol, the investigation phase is initiated and the following notification(s) will be made: Inmate Perpetrator on Inmate Victim: In the event that an inmate is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against another inmate, the Special Investigative Agent (or SIS) will be notified immediately.

METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Staff Perpetrator on Inmate Victim: In the event that a staff member is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against an inmate, the Warden will be notified immediately. The Warden will notify the Regional Director and the Office of Internal Affairs (OIA), who will in turn notify the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), and when appropriate, will notify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Inmate Perpetrator on Staff Victim: In the event that an inmate is alleged to have perpetrated sexually abusive behavior against a staff member, the SIA/SIS will be contacted immediately with follow-up notification to the Warden. Crime Scene Preservation: The staff first responder will preserve the crime scene. SIS staff will be responsible for collecting information/evidence. The investigation, in coordination with the agency to which the case may be referred, will follow the guidance given in the Special Investigative Supervisor's Manual that outlines gathering and processing procedures. Physical Evidence Collection: When there is a report of a recent Rape or Sexual Assault with an Object, or there is a strong suspicion that a recent, serious assault may have been sexual in nature, a thorough physical examination of the alleged victim - to include a "rape kit" will be completed immediately. Physical evidence collection may also include an examination of, and collection of physical evidence from the suspected perpetrator(s). After Action Reviews of Violent Sexual Assaults: Following any incident of Rape or Sexual Assault with an Object, the Warden, Program Coordinator, Chief of Correctional Services, Health Services Administrator, and Chief Psychologist will meet and review the incident. This review is to assess the reasonableness of the actions of staff following the incident, to ensure the security and treatment needs of the inmate victim have been addressed adequately and the management and investigation of the inmate or staff perpetrator is progressing appropriately. Within two working days after the initial reporting of the Rape or Sexual Assault with an Object, a written report highlighting the relevant facts should be produced and the Warden or designee will personally attest by his or her signature that the review has taken place and that the steps taken by staff were either appropriate or inappropriate. A copy of this report will be forwarded to the Regional Director. December 7, 2018 Sensitive But Unclassified Page 27 of 29 EFTA00133061
METROPOLITAN CORRECTIONAL CENTER NEW YORK, NEW YORK GENERAL POST ORDERS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT THIS IS NOT AN ARMED POST Consideration for staff impacted by the incident is necessary. Arrangements for debriefing affected staff and referral to appropriate services to mitigate the stress associated with these events should be offered. Administrative Disciplinary Process and Prosecution: In keeping with this "zero tolerance" policy, perpetrators of sexually abusive behavior will be disciplined and/or referred for prosecution. Tracking Sexually Abusive Behavior: Tracking and analyzing the incidents of sexually abusive behavior are critical to the safety and management of inmates and the security of all Bureau facilities. Monitoring these incidents allows the Bureau to assess the effectiveness of current policy and procedures in regard to the extent of sexual victimization. To ensure full and accurate reporting and analysis, the SIS will maintain secure investigative files which include data on: • The victim(s) and perpetrator(s) of sexually abusive behavior; • Crime characteristics; • Formal and/or informal action(s) taken; • All collateral reports, supporting memoranda, and videotapes; • Medical forms; and • Any other evidentiary materials pertaining to the allegation. The Office of Internal Affairs will report the cumulated data on the inmate victims of staff and inmate sexually abusive behavior to all Chief Executive Officers and the Psychology Services Administrator at the end of each quarter and at the end of each fiscal year. SUICIDAL SITUATION IN SHU OR THE HOUSING UNITS: If you are the first person to notice an inmate hanging, you should call for staff assistance (Operations Lieutenant & Control Center)and remain calm and wait until sufficient staff and Lieutenant arrive prior to handcuffing the inmate=s cell mate(s) (if applicable) and unlocking the cell door. If feasible, obtain protective equipment from the above mentioned areas. Cut the inmate down, protecting the head and neck area. Always administer life- saving procedures.
