Yeah. 7 : So, you have an actual 8 camp at the MCC? 9 : It's low security inmates. 10 But remember, they are designated. So, we 11 couldn't put him in that unit because he's pre- 12 trial. We can't mix designated and pre-trial 13 inmates together. 14 : Okay. It says, "I 15 advised we could not," since he was a pre-trial 16 inmate. 17 : Right. 18 : "Later that day, but 19 prior to 1:00, close out meeting, I spoke to 20 attorney on the phone.

To my recollection, neither 8 attorney referenced consideration for suicide 9 watch or psychological observation during 10 yesterday's conversation. Please let me know 11 if you need any further information." Now, was 12 this just a request to any contact that he had 13 with his attorneys? 14 : He was just keeping me 15 informed because the attorneys were calling 16 every day, with different types of requests. 17 : But this was the day, 18 obviously, of when he was found.

How many rosters would there be, 12 aside from correctional? 13 : Well, the correctional 14 officers are the only ones that keep a daily 15 roster. 16 : Like, R&D wouldn't do 17 anything like that? 18 : No. Because their staff are 19 already assigned to where they are working at. 20 : Okay. 21 : Yeah.

You are right. 12 : So, the August 9th one 13 was attached, but the August 10th wasn't. 14 : Yeah. 15 : Yeah. So, we had to pull 16 that from -- 17 : Okay. 18 : -- just for full 19 disclosure, but just so that we have both. The 20 August 9th one was something that you had sent. 21 All right. Since Epstein was required to have 22 a cellmate, who was ultimately responsible to 23 make sure that all the SHU staff were aware of 24 this requirement? 25 : That they were notified? EFTA00058977
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 108 1 : So, how -. So, Dr. Imeri 2 or Mrs. Imeri sent out that email, saying -- 3 : Mm-hmm. 4 : -- Epstein is required to 5 have a cellmate. The one that we reviewed. 6 : Right. 7 : Who was required to make 8 sure that staff that is working in the SHU is 9 aware of that requirement? 10 : Well, the captain passes it 11 on to the lieutenants, and the officers are 12 then made aware that he, you know, any inmate, 13 if they are required a cellmate -- 14 : Mm-hmm. 15 : -- that, you know, that he - 16 they are to require cellmate, if somebody 17 leaves or goes out. 18 : Now, someone such as an 19 Epstein, who was just coming off of suicide 20 watch, you know, a week, a week and a half 21 prior, should all staff know that that person 22 is supposed to be housed with a cellmate? 23 : In the Special Housing Unit, 24 anybody working in there would know that he was 25 supposed to have a cellmate. EFTA00058978
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 109 1 : Do you believe that there 2 was anybody - especially anybody that's got a 3 quarterly bit of post there -- 4 : Mm-hmm. 5 : -- but anybody that's 6 working in the SHU on August 9th or 10th, do 7 you believe that there could be a reason why 8 they would say, we didn't know he was supposed 9 to have a cellmate? Do you think that would be 10 an acceptable excuse? 11 : Because you had the staff 12 that usually work up there, were up there. It 13 should be, it should have been annotated on his 14 - what do you call it? - it's called a 292. 15 : The hot list, you are 16 referring to, or -- 17 : No. Not the hot list. 18 : -- or what?

Well, yeah, we can 20 get into that. Now then, so these are -. 21 MR. HAYES: One other question. I want to 22 open a box. 23 : Absolutely. 24 MR.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 113 1 : I don't know if that was 2 somebody. 3 : There might be clients in the 4 office. 5 : Oh. 6 : Huh? 7 : Okay. 8 : That's why. 9 : Then we will wait. 10 : He wasn't kidding about the 11 knife. 12 : Oh. 13 MR.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 1 it. 2 : That's super cool. 3 MR. HAYES: So. 4 : Mm-hmm. 5 : Sorry. I'll ask a few 6 more questions before we get into these 7 documents. Were any plans made on how to 8 address this situation for if Reyes was removed 9 as Epstein's cellmate? Like, if he -. Because 10 I know at MCC, inmates certainly leave. 11 (Indiscernible *01:26:13). 12 : No. I mean, the plan would 13 have been, you know, we would have assessed it, 14 because usually, you get ahead of time, we 15 would have just said, okay, when is -? When 16 Reyes leaves, or you know, when he was leaving, 17 then before he was placed back in that cell, an 18 assessment would have been made. 19 : Okay. Now, what is your 20 understanding of what happened with inmate 21 Reyes on August 9th, 2019? 22 : When I got back after the 23 fact, I guess the Marshals came and removed him 24 from the institution. 25 : Okay.

And again, what 14 does WAB mean? 15 : It means With All 16 Belongings. 17 : Okay. 18 : But I don't know, and I 19 don't know if people will say that he left, and 20 then they went and got him from the office. 21 So, I am not sure. 22 : Okay.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 118 1 something, or whatever -? 2 : I think, and I'm speculating 3 now, it was probably the court list, and it 4 probably said, we're sending him off to court. 5 And it was a possibility that he might be 6 getting released. 7 : Because the document that 8 has been eluding me -- 9 : Mm-hmm. 10 : -- is that court 11 production list.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 119 1 : But -- 2 : -- with him -- 3 : -- but that's what would 4 have been used by the SHU staff, in order to 5 produce Reyes to the R&D. 6 : No. Not necessarily. What 7 typically happens is, the R&D staff will call 8 up to SHU, and say, hey, I need Reyes down. He 9 has court. Or he's being released. So, there 10 wouldn't have been a document sent up. 11 : So, everyone that we 12 talked to said R&D said, yes, we created this 13 document. 14 : Right. 15 : And the SHU staff, 16 including the OIC, said, yes, we had 17 documentation showing that he was WAB.

They just use a 11 template, and create a new one for every day. 12 : So, that must have been the 13 early court movement. So, I was under the 14 impression that he was, he left in the 15 afternoon. So, when typically in the 16 afternoon, they will just call up and say, hey, 17 we got one that's leaving. So, I assumed he 18 had left that afternoon. 19 : Okay. So, is it, then, 20 are you not - then to answer that question 21 are you not sure exactly what she's referring 22 to when she says "court documentation regarding 23 WAB"? 24 : Like, the way you explained 25 it, then that means they were talking about EFTA00058990

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 130 1 : Mm-hmm. 2 : -- with all belongings. 3 : Mm-hmm. 4 : Spoke with both Epstein 5 and Mr. Reyes, and stated to Mr. - I think 6 Reyes stated to - make sure you get 7 him a cellmate. 8 : Mm-hmm. 9 : I'm not coming back. And 10 responding to Mr. Epstein, saying, 11 "Don't worry. We're going to get you a new 12 cellmate." 13 : Mm-hmm. 14 : Now, with all that 15 information, being that he is the OIC, he's 16 working in the SHU, he knows that he's WAB. 17 : Mm-hmm. 18 : We've got all this stuff 19 going on. 20 : Mm-hmm. 21 : This is the real big 22 reason why I want to talk to you -- 23 : Mm-hmm. 24 : -- as 25 : Mm-hmm. EFTA00059000
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 131 1 : This is kind of our 2 primary purpose -- 3 : Mm-hmm. 4 : -- for us being here. 5 So, I apologize if you're going into that, but 6 I want you to have all the information -- 7 : Right. 8 : -- before I answer. What 9 should have happened here? So, R&D is 10 contacted the day before, or two days before 11 Epstein, or Epstein is found. One day before 12 Reyes is, you know, gone. They contacted both 13 custody, as well as R&D. 14 : Right. 15 : R&D pre-removes him at 16 8:38 on 8/09. 17 : Mm-hmm. 18 : The SHU OIC walks him 19 down, to R&D -- 20 : Mm-hmm. 21 : -- and actually has this 22 conversation with Epstein and Reyes, saying, 23 know you are WAB, we're going to get you a new 24 staff, we're going to get you a new cellmate. 25 MR. HAYES: Which means - WAS means what? EFTA00059001
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 132 1 : With All Belongings, 2 neans they're not coming back. 3 MR. HAYES: But Epstein is not coming 4 back? 5 : No. 6 : His cellmate. 7 : Reyes. 8 MR. HAYES: Reyes. 9 : His cellmate. 10 MR. HAYES: So, the theory is, if you are 11 investigating, somebody says that you're not 12 going to have a cellmate anymore, and in that 13 conversation, or present during that 14 conversation, is Epstein? 15 : Epstein is present. Yes. 16 MR. HAYES: Okay. So, Epstein knows that 17 he's not going to have a cellmate for the 18 immediate future? 19 : No. Epstein is going to 20 attorney conference. So, he's going to be -- 21 MR. HAYES: No, no, but I'm saying -- 22 in attorney conference 23 until about 7:00 p.m.. 24 MR. HAYES: -- that Epstein knows that, 25 over the next, say, 24 hours, he's not going to EFTA00059002
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 133 1 have a cellee. 2 : No. , the OIC, 3 tells Epstein, as well as Reyes, that they are 4 going to get him a cellmate. Before he comes 5 back from attorney/client, his attorney visit. 6 MR. HAYES: Okay. So, Epstein would know 7 that he hasn't - going to have a cellmate. 8 : Yeah, yeah. So, this 9 isn't part of the theory. What my question to 10 your client is, what should have happened based 11 upon the knowledge that he was WAB? The 12 contact with the Marshal Service, telling him 13 that he's being transferred. The fact that 14 R&D, you know, the OIC walked him down to R&D, 15 and R&D actually logged him out of our system. 16 What should have happened? 17 : So, what should have 18 happened was, this information should have been 19 passed up to the supervisors. 20 : At what point? 21 : See, with the, this 22 information coming in, as far as, you know, 23 when R&D -- 24 : Mm-hmm. 25 : -- typically, it would come EFTA00059003
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 134 1 up to the Special Housing Unit. Once it got up 2 to that, to the Special Housing Unit, the 3 lieutenants should have been notified. 4 : Okay. And which 5 6 : Whoever was the SHU 7 , whoever was the operations 8 9 : Now, on this case 10 : If the -. 11 : -- the SHU is 12 also on leave. 13 : Right. 14 : So, we've got the chief 15 psychologist on leave, on leave, the 16 SHU on leave. But we do have an ops 17 , we do have an activities 18 And we do have a captain. 19 : So, you should have let the 20 know, if you didn't have 21 a SHU . They, in turn, would let the 22 captain know, and the captain would push it up 23 to the execs then. Then, we would have to come 24 to a determination on who we were going to 25 house with Epstein. EFTA00059004
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 1 2 : Now, if the operations , his name is Perez. 135 3 : Right. 4 : Carlos 5 : Right. 6 : -- Perez. 7 : Right. 8 : If he says, yes, I know 9 Epstein was gone, but I believe that he was at 10 court -- 11 : No. You mean -- 12 : -- and he might be 13 returning back. 14 : -- Reyes is gone. 15 : Yes. 16 : So, Carlos Perez knows 17 that Sorry, did I say Epstein? 18 : Yeah. You said Epstein. 19 : Yes. Carlos Perez knows 20 that Reyes is gone. 21 : Mm-hmm. 22 : But I think he's at 23 court, and then, he might not be coming back. 24 I didn't pass this information onto my relief, 25 who was Cannata (Phonetic Sp. *01:39:59). EFTA00059005
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 136 1 : Mm-hmm. 2 : However, as our 3 investigation has revealed, the ops 4 also has one of these court production lists, 5 that lists Reyes -- 6 : Mm-hmm. 7 : -- as WAB. 8 : Mm-hmm. 9 : With that knowledge, is 10 that a reason that he thinks that he went to 11 court, and might be coming back? 12 : I can't interpret what his 13 thought process was, but if it said, you know, 14 he was leaving, and I don't know what he was 15 reading at the time. 16 : Right. 17 : He could have been reading, 18 because sometimes the inmates do go out to 19 court and come back. So, I don't know. I 20 can't speak to what he read. Or why he made 21 that determination. 22 MR. HAYES: So, listen, wouldn't have most 23 inmates, when they go to court, come back? 24 : The point being here 25 : What I'm saying -- EFTA00059006
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 137 1 : -- he didn't go to court. 2 : Yeah. 3 : He was transferred. 4 : He was transferred. 5 : And I know you might have 6 covered this, in your understanding, in your 7 experience at the MCC, if an inmate is listed 8 as WAB -- 9 : Mm-hmm. 10 -- With All Belongings -- 11 : Yeah. 12 : -- what is your 13 understanding? Are they coming back or are 14 they gone? 15 : That means he's 16 transferring. 17 : Has there been situations 18 where they come back? 19 : There have been 20 : After WAB? 21 -- situations that, you 22 know, they go out and they have to have them 23 sending them back, if there was an issue. 24 : Is that a unique situation, 25 or it happens quite often? EFTA00059007
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 138 1 : No. I wouldn't say. 2 would say that it's probably unique. But 3 usually, WAB, they're gone. 4 : So, as the operations 5 , if you see somebody listed as WAB, 6 should he have understood that that person is 7 gone, and not coming back? 8 : Should have. But then, 9 you're talking off the document. I don't know 10 what document they read. So, I don't want to 11 speculate what, you know, was it, you know, 12 send them to R&D, whether he saw that. I don't 13 know what document. But I'm saying, if it is 14 this document, that clearly stated WAB. 15 : Okay. But as far as your 16 concern, it doesn't sound like what you were 17 saying is, , who was the OIC at the 18 time, should have he notified the ops 19 20 : Yes. Whoever is - yeah - 21 there should have notified the operations 22 , hey, Reyes left, and -- 23 MR. HAYES: He needs a cellmate. 24 : -- he needs a cellmate, 25 : Okay. So, would it fall EFTA00059008
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 1 solely on the shoulders of 2 : No. I mean, okay, so, 3 here's the other checks and balance. So, what 4 about the other people on the other shift? 5 : That's my question. 6 : Yeah. 7 : So, or 8 : I mean 9 : -- or the people that are 10 working on his same shift. 11 : -- yeah. On his own same, 12 shift -- 13 : So, who -- 14 : -- if it was the 15 notification should have been made to the 16 . Or the captain. And 17 said, hey, cellmate left. He needs a cellmate. 18 : Okay. 19 MR. HAYES: And that cellmate would now, 20 at some point, he goes back to the cell, but 21 that's at the end of the day. 22 : At the end of the day. 23 MR. HAYES: Okay. So, nobody is in a 24 position to say, hey, he's in a cell by 25 himself. Until the end of the day. EFTA00059009
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 140 1 : Right. But the information 2 is passed onto each other. You know, when you 3 4 : And they are supposed to 5 be doing 30-minute rounds, where they would 6 notice that one cell had zero inmates in it. 7 : Had zero inmates in it. 8 MR. HAYES: Yeah. 9 : So, I mean -- 10 MR. HAYES: And that's what brings us all 11 to -- 12 : Right. 13 MR. HAYES: -- here today. 14 : So -- 15 : Uh-huh. 16 : I mean, that's how it 17 would have made, and when that got pushed up, 18 we would have said, okay, we would have to 19 formulate, okay, who can we get a cellmate for, 20 for Epstein? 21 : And I apologize to ask 22 this because, but, like, so, on each shift 23 would be the OIC, that would be responsible for 24 that. So, for instance, would be on 25 the day watch shift up until 2:00 p.m., he EFTA00059010
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 141 1 would be the one to responsible to provide the 2 , but then, the following shift, 3 would it be -- 4 : Whoever is the -- 5 : -- the next OIC -- 6 : -- right. 7 : -- or would also the 8 people that are working in that unit, the other 9 SHU staff, would they be responsible? Or is 10 that a chain of command thing? Like, no, the 11 OIC is really the person making that 12 notification. 13 : Everybody has a 14 responsibility for their safety. Everybody. I 15 mean -- 16 : Sure. 17 : I might be the OIC, but I 18 have some responsibilities. If I know, okay, 19 you know what? They might need a cellmate, 20 because I, in essence, I can have an individual 21 assigned to that post, and they're just filling 22 in for somebody that, the regular person that's 23 up there. And then, I have the regular people 24 working up there, who are familiar with what's 25 going on. So, it's kind of everyone's EFTA00059011
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 142 1 responsibility. You know? 2 : So, is everyone kind of 3 equally responsible, then, for this? That was 4 working there and didn't pass the information 5 on. 6 MR. HAYES: Can you say? Don't guess. 7 : You know what? 8 : No, as 9 would be able to say. 10 : I mean, it should have been, 11 it should have been passed on. So, I don't 12 know the dynamics to, as far as what was going 13 on that day, who was working up there. What 14 rounds were being made -- 15 : Mm-hmm. 16 : -- up there. You know, was 17 the lieutenant coming around? Was the captain? 18 How busy they were. 19 : So, the lieutenant was 20 not on - the lieutenant of the SHU - was not 21 on. However, we do have records that the 22 activities lieutenant at least visited -- 23 : Yeah. 24 : -- the SHU -- 25 : You have -- EFTA00059012
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 11 1 : -- at that point. 2 -- you have two other 3 lieutenants. Now, I don't know if you are 4 familiar with the Special Housing Unit, but it 5 is a very busy unit. 6 : Yeah. 7 : You know, you're giving out 8 showers. You're giving out recreation. You're 9 doing a whole lot of stuff. You, you know, 10 running around all day, and, you know, 11 sometimes things happen. 12 : Understood. But in this 13 case, wasn't Epstein at your most high-profile 14 inmate? At that time. 15 : I mean, besides my terrorist 16 inmates that I had up there on Ten South. 17 : Well, I guess, at least 18 the Nine South. 19 : I would say he was a high- 20 profile. Yeah. He was a high-profile inmate. 21 : Is it, I mean, on that 22 note, don't you think that they would have, you 23 know, found it pretty important to notify? 24 Especially they - and I don't know that we 25 brought this today - but there was even signs EFTA00059013
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 144 1 2 3 4 5 up that they created, saying, "Mandatory 30- minute rounds on Epstein, signed by God." Or something, you know, along the lines. Not, you know, meaning, like, do this. You know? Like 6 : No, that was me. 7 MR. HAYES: Is that right? 8 : That was me. No. I mean, I 9 mean, but it was emphasized to them. I mean, 10 so, no one could say that they didn't know. 11 : So, point being, there 12 was, like, signs specific to even Epstein, 13 check on this guy every 30 minutes. 14 : Right. 15 : You know, orange signs 16 that are posted up there. 17 : Right. 18 : So, point being, with 19 this -- 20 : It should have been passed 21 up. 22 : -- and that is where -. 23 So, for us, I guess -- 24 : Right. 25 : -- again, and I know that EFTA00059014
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 145 1 you are probably trying to, you know, hesitate 2 on maybe saying, like, this person did 3 something wrong, but really, who dropped the 4 ball here? Knowing, though, that you could 5 take a look, the day before, all these people 6 are the ones who received the email -- 7 : Right. 8 : -- in custody. And so, I 9 know we see Rice. I'm sure - I'm 10 assuming would be on there. 11 : I think Perez is on there. 12 : Who? 13 : Is Perez on there? 14 : It's just -- 15 : I didn't see Perez. 16 : -- maybe. 17 : But again, this one, that 18 one is not even as clear. This one 19 specifically spells out -- 20 : Yeah. 21 : -- this one, you would 22 actually have to go in and look at this 23 prisoner's schedule report. 24 MR. HAYES: Okay. Let me just take a 25 look, just so I have, my mind is clear. There EFTA00059015
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 146 1 is a prisoner's schedule. The prisoner's 2 schedule literally means prisoner's schedule. 3 : Well, yeah. So, the 4 prisoner's schedule report is something like 5 6 7 this, but it will tell you that they are either going to, like, transfer, or they are going to go to court. Whereas this other document that 8 was sent to R&D was just specifically about the 9 transfer. 10 MR. HAYES: Okay. But there is nothing 11 that says recreation, personnel care. It's 12 mostly going to and from court, or leaving the 13 institution. 14 : Yeah. Because it's a 15 prisoner's schedule. 16 MR. HAYES: Okay. 17 : Report. 18 MR. HAYES: Okay. 19 : So, it's, like, what they 20 are scheduled to do. Sorry. Yeah. No. It's 21 not, like, what their daily schedule is. Like, 22 in the institution. 23 MR. HAYES: Right. 24 : It's a U.S. Marshal 25 Service report that is provided to the BOP, so EFTA00059016
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 11- 1 that they know which inmates 2 MR. HAYES: Right. 3 : -- they need to produce, 4 and for what reason. 5 MR. HAYES: Okay. Got it. 6 : Now, is that correct? 7 : Yes. 8 : So, yeah. Based upon 9 what you are looking at here, on the 8th, and 10 then again, what we know about at the 11 very least producing, at 8:00, knowing he was 12 WAB, and R&D knowing he was WAB. 13 : Mm-hmm. 14 : What should have happened 15 there? Like, who, in your opinion here, 16 dropped the ball? 17 : I think at all levels, it 18 was the checks and balance. If it went to the 19 lieutenant's office, somebody should have 20 picked it up. Working in the unit. It should 21 have been passed up to the lieutenant's office. 22 So, there were a couple of safety nets that 23 could have caught it. 24 : So, pretty much everybody 25 dropped the ball? EFTA00059017
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 148 1 : I mean, if we're looking at 2 it like this, if you're saying going by an 3 email being sent around. 4 : Well, not only the email, 5 6 but I mean, the email, I can understand if people are busy and they don't always, you 7 know, this one -- 8 : Right. 9 : -- it would be hard to - 10 that one would be hard to -- 11 : Right. 12 : -- you know, say that you 13 didn't know. This one, I could see maybe, you 14 know, the prisoner's schedule 15 : Well, this one, I don't 16 : -- (Indiscernible 17 *01:48:52). 18 : I mean, I don't know what 19 gets sent out. I know, if this whole thing, I 20 don't know if it gets sent out to the staff. I 21 think more -- 22 : Well, this is -- 23 : -- of a condensed version. 24 : -- this is with this. 25 : Right. EFTA00059018
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 149 1 : So, this was what was 2 sent with this. This was sent specifically, 3 just that. It's not a document. That's the 4 body. 5 : Right. That was sent. 6 : But that is, again, R&D. 7 : Right. 8 : But, which again, R&D 9 we didn't cover this - R&D is outside of 10 custody. Correct? 11 : Right. 12 : But speaking with R&D, 13 they said they would have produced this list, 14 which SHU would have had, as well as ops 15 lieutenant -- 16 : Mm-hmm. 17 : -- the lieutenant's 18 office, all the housing units, which listed 19 Reyes as WAB. 20 : Right. 21 : Do you know if they are 22 actually looking - like, the lieutenant's 23 office, people in the lieutenant's office, or 24 the ops lieutenant, activities lieutenant - are 25 they actually look at that list and saying, or EFTA00059019
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 150 1 that's just based upon the busyness of their 2 day? 3 : Yeah. I wouldn't speculate. 4 I mean, I don't know. I can't say what -- 5 : Okay. 6 lieutenant is looking at 7 stuff. I mean, it's, like, the documents. 8 : No. I mean, but should 9 have they, I guess is the question? 10 : As far as what? Emails that 11 are coming through, on who's leaving? 12 : No, no, no. This would 13 be a physical paper that they were provided. 14 : Right. 15 : Internal would go around 16 and provide everybody with this physical paper 17 that they create, and then, they apparently 18 destroy it at the end of the day. 19 : Right. So, I don't know if 20 the, you know, when internal gets the forms to 21 go, they are dropping it off at different 22 units. So, I don't know if one was passed off 23 to the lieutenant. The lieutenant would - I 24 guess this probably be the only document -- 25 : No, no, no. EFTA00059020
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 1 2 151 : -- they tear up. : We are being told, by the 3 lieutenants, as well as -- 4 : Right. 5 : -- by R&D, they all have 6 it, and they all, and it would all - and it 7 would have said WAB. Unfortunately, I haven't 8 found that document to show you this is what 9 I'm referring to. But it's a document they 10 apparently create, which they call the court 11 production list. Are you 12 : The court list. 13 : -- yeah. 14 : I've heard of the court 15 list. 16 : But it's like a -- 17 : And it -. 18 : -- from my understanding, 19 it is an informal document that they are just 20 providing so that, you know, these are the 21 people that we need to produce today. 22 : For internal, yeah. The 23 internal officer goes around and drops them off 24 at every, you know, every unit, like hey, I 25 need this guy, I need that guy. It's a court EFTA00059021
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 152 1 list. 2 : Yeah. 3 : In the morning. 4 : Exactly. 5 : So, yeah, that's not 6 anything that's kept on record. 7 : Right. So, I guess the 8 question, though, being that they had these 9 court lists, is another one of these checks and 10 balances? Or is that really just for the 11 Special Housing Unit? 12 : I think they You mean as 13 far as the court list, I don't understand your 14 question, but -- 15 : Yeah. It's just getting 16 back to the point of, like, Reyes left. We 17 were notified on the 8th. He left on the 18 morning of the 9th. 19 : Right. 20 : Epstein was found on the 21 10th. Didn't have a cellmate for 24 hours, and 22 we knew for almost 48 hours. What should have 23 happened, and who didn't do their job? Is 24 really the question. 25 : And like I said before, when EFTA00059022
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 153 1 the notification, whoever was on the unit, knew 2 that he was leaving, it should have been passed 3 up to his supervisor. 4 : All right. 5 : This guy is leaving. But 6 then, okay, let's say the supe, or whoever is 7 working in there, doesn't do it, and somebody 8 should have stepped up and said, hey, this guy 9 needs a cellmate. And notified the 10 that he needs a cellmate. 11 : And that goes back to my, 12 anyone that was working in the SHU, should have 13 made that notification. 14 : Should have said it. It 15 doesn't just -. Just because you are not OIC, 16 doesn't mean all the responsibilities falls on 17 you. It's everybody's job up there to say, 18 hey, okay, we need to, you know, this is what 19 we need to do. 20 : And would that be the 21 case for, when he left during the day shift 22 : Right. 23 : -- the next shift is the 24 night shift, when he would have - I believe 25 during the night shift - he would have come EFTA00059023
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 154 1 back -- 2 : Mm-hmm. 3 : -- and again, if they 4 were doing rounds, they would have noticed that 5 Reyes wasn't there in the first place. But 6 also, certainly, when they brought -- 7 : Epstein back. 8 : -- Epstein back to his 9 cell. There would have been no cellmate in 10 there. 11 : You should have known he was 12 a cellmate. 13 : And would it be the same 14 thing for the morning shift? That they would 15 know that Epstein was in there alone? 16 : Because if the morning shift 17 is doing their 30-minute checks, you would have 18 realized he was in there by himself. 19 : So, should have every 20 single shift reported it to the ops 21 that there is no one -? 22 : Whoever caught it should 23 have, you know, let's say one shift missed it, 24 the next shift should have picked up and said, 25 you know, called and said, , we got a EFTA00059024
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 155 1 - this guy needs a -- 2 MR. HAYES: A cellmate. 3 : -- a cellmate. 4 : And again, I know we're 5 Monday morning quarterback because of the 6 result here, but what is your - as 7 of the institution, on these dates - how do you 8 interpret this? Is this a really significant 9 failure on their part, the not have caught this 10 and passed that information up? 11 : It's not following the 12 directive. I mean, and then, look at result. 13 : Right. 14 : So, I mean, the result is 15 what, you know, caused it to be a serious 16 matter. 17 : Okay. 18 : Yeah. 19 : Now, as far as going back 20 to this memo, do you know why Mr. 21 wrote this memo. 22 : I forgot. I might have 23 called -. I might have called 24 Perez, and said - and I don't know if he was 25 working - said, what happened up there? EFTA00059025
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 156 1 : Now, when you say Perez, 2 because he was the ops or are you 3 talking about Rice, who was the SHU 4 : Perez, who was the 5 operations Because first, I know when I got 6 back, somebody told me Rice wasn't at work, 7 because that was my first question. Who was 8 the SHU ? Where they are at. And 9 then, I think I did reach out to Perez, and 10 said, what happened up there? 11 : Okay. 12 : And that's when I found that 13 out. 14 : And did you ever speak 15 with either Perez or about this? 16 : No. 17 : Okay. 18 : Because by the time I had 19 gotten it, was the day -. That, I got that the 20 day of, when I had to go up to, I think the 21 U.S. Attorney's Office. 22 : Okay. To speak with them 23 about this? 24 : When I speak up to them, and 25 them the agent had the memorandum. EFTA00059026
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 157 1 : He already had it on him? 2 : He had it on him.

Because the, we 7 were told because of traffic issues -- 8 : Yeah. 9 : -- or something else. 10 : And short -. Yeah. 11 : So, what we want to, and 12 I want to kind of reference here is, Iam 13 Fernandez on dry cell, with SHU staff and R&D. 14 : Right. 15 : And the end of this shows 16 72. 17 : Mm-hmm. 18 : So, on August 9th, 2019, 19 at 11:59 a.m. - or August 10th, 2019, at 12:00 20 a.m. - there is supposed to be 72 inmates, 21 according to this log that sent 22 out. 23 : Right. 24 : There is supposed to only 25 be 72 inmates there. EFTA00059066
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 1 2 : Right. : Now, look at the shift 197 3 for August 10th, when this person started their 4 shift, there was 73. 5 : So -- 6 : And the institutional 7 logs -- 8 right. 9 show at 12:00 a.m., 10 there were - or so, that looks like - so, there 11 is -. Let's go. So, for ZA, there shows 75 at 12 the 4:00 p.m. count. The 10:00 p.m. count, 13 there shows 73. And then, at the midnight 14 count, there it says 72. However, the count 15 slips, if you recall 16 : 73. 17 : -- where are the count 18 slips? So, it is -- 19 : The counts. 20 : -- it says the SHU 21 submitted a count slip for 73 at 12:00 a.m. 22 Here you go. So, that is not the count. Oh, 23 yeah. There. So, see? 12:00 a.m., they 24 submit it. /Noel submitted 73. 25 Although, the institutional count says 72. EFTA00059067
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 198 1 Now, not , but the next one 2 shows that, the next ops lieutenant shows that 3 73 is what is written in this. She went back 4 and changed 72, the day before, with the 9:30, 5 because it was determined -- 6 : That he was on the outcount, 7 and on -- 8 : -- oh, yeah. 9 : -- (Indiscernible 10 *02:22:57). 11 : And so, Fernandez was 12 never removed -. So, look at -. It shows it 13 on this. "One SHU correction. Fernandez dry 14 cell." So, at 12:35 a.m., and we do have 15 Fernandez right here. 16 : Looking back. 17 : Okay. So, this just 18 says, this is what happened with him. He was 19 found to have contraband, that he was providing 20 to a visitor in the SHU, at approximately, 21 like, I think 1:00 p.m. on August 9th. He was 22 moved from the SHU to dry cell.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 199 1 : What - yeah - what they 2 should -- 3 : Keyed out of the SHU. 4 So, the institutional counts were reflecting -- 5 : 73. 6 : -- 73. That is what the 7 SHU continued reporting. 73. Because that is 8 what - that's what, according to the system, 9 was supposed to be in there. But if they had 10 physically -- 11 : Counted. 12 -- counted -- 13 : They would have known 14 : -- it would have -- 15 : -- he wasn't there. 16 : -- been 72. Correct? 17 : Right. 18 : So, with this 19 information, and I guess as would 20 that suggest to you that they were not actually 21 conducting their counts? 22 : They weren't counting. And 23 then, there is no count slip here for the 24 inmate that was on dry cell in R&D. 25 : Right. EFTA00059069
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 200 1 : There should have been a 2 count slip for him over there. So, what should 3 have happened was, the inmate - him - he should 4 have been outcounted in R&D. And then, the 5 R&D, you would have seen one. So, there was a 6 count slip. Whoever is sitting and watching 7 him should have did a count slip on him. And 8 then, whoever his back up was should have done 9 a count slip. 10 : And this is, from my 11 review of everything -- 12 : Mm-hmm. 13 : -- this is what I found. 14 I don't want to put my words into 15 mouth, but let me know if this makes sense to 16 you. It says, "Count discrepancy on the August 17 9th, 2019. Per the daily activity report dated 18 August 10th, 2019, and the attachment 19 log from August 9th, 2019."

"The 24 5:00 a.m. El institution count, respective ZA 25 SHU count slips, eyes on count shows 77. At EFTA00059070
