LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 127 1 out there's actually only 72 people in there. 2 They've been calling in 73, but there's only 72 3 people in the SHU. Is there any way, from 4 looking - and that's from this point forward, 5 they're now start -- 6 MR. : Mm-hmm. 7 MR. : -- calling in 72 - is 8 there any way, from looking at these, you're 9 able to determine, with your knowledge and 10 experience, where that changed? I would say 11 that it changed from the 10:00 count. This was 12 printed at 9:33. So, it has 73. And then, at 13 9:33, attorney conference ain't open. So, 14 Epstein would have probably been up by then. 15 He would have went back to the SHU. 16 MR. : So, he would have been 17 listed on -. Epstein would have been back at 18 least by 8:00 III., right? 19 MR. : Yeah. 20 MR. : So, that would have -- 21 MR. : So, he should have been on 22 this count. 23 MR. : -- he should have been on 24 this one. 25 MR. : So, he threw it, yeah. EFTA00110821
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 128 1 MR. : And can you see where on 2 the - let's talk about, I guess, what's the one 3 before? The 5:00 p.m.? The 4:00 p.m.? 4 MR. : Yeah, he would have been at 5 attorney conference. Yeah. 6 MR. : And it would have showed 7 him at attorney conference on one of these, 8 correct? On the El? 9 MR. : Yeah. At 3:00, at attorney 10 conference. Well, from SHU. 11 MR. : And then, does it show 12 that he's already in SHU in this one? Is there 13 any way an attorney conference at the 10:00 14 p.m. count? 15 MR. : No. But see, what I was 16 telling you before about the numbers, see how I 17 had 76? 18 MR. : Yup. 19 MR. : And this is at the 4:00 20 count. And then, it went down to 73? 21 MR. : Right. 22 MR. : So, you don't know until 23 after the count, about the whole cellmate 24 coming back. 25 MR. : Right. But then, the EFTA00110822
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 129 1 weird part about it is going from 73 to 72, 2 with no movement. 3 MR. : So, we don't know, okay, 4 so, they're taking off, you know, if they're 5 going from - what does it say? 76? 6 MR. : Yeah. 7 MR. : Down to 73. That's three 8 people, and one person vanishes. 9 MR. : Mm-hmm. 10 MR. : When it gets to 72. Are 11 you able to tell where that person vanished 12 from, or is it impossible because, possibly, 13 all of these counts were not conducted, and 14 that's - I know you weren't here for any of 15 these counts, apparently, so it's, again, I'm 16 just asking for your guidance - is that 17 correct? You weren't even working when any of 18 these counts were conducted? 19 MR. : Yeah, well, if I was - you 20 said 4:00, right? 21 MR. : Well, you possibly worked 22 up until 4:00. 23 MR. : Yeah. 24 MR. : But -. 25 MR. : So, I wasn't here. I wasn't EFTA00110823
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 130 1 there for the count. 2 MR. : Right. So again -- 3 MR. : 76. 4 MR. : I want to reassure you 5 this isn't an I gotcha moment. We're just 6 trying to help -- 7 MR. : No, no, but you know it feels 8 like it. 9 MR. : Yeah, yeah, yeah -- 10 MR. : (Indiscernible *01:36:12). 11 MR. -- and I get that because 12 you've got special agents talking to you -- 13 MR. : Yeah. 14 MR. : -- it's just all about 15 trying to piece the puzzle together. So, we 16 need help with people like yourself, to be able 17 to say, what the hell happened? You know what 18 mean? 19 MR. : Yeah. Well, there's also 20 three here. From (Indiscernible *01:36:28). 21 mean, I think I'm -- 22 MR. : And we've had other -- 23 MR. -- and we hadn't keyed thew 24 out, that's what it is. 25 MR. : And you just -. EFTA00110824
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 131 1 MR. : Oh, they hadn't keyed them 2 out. But then, they would have keyed them out. 3 R&D leaves at 10:00. They leave at 10:00. 4 Now, they could have left somebody on, and then 5 came out. Because like you said, it's no 6 movement. The only way you get it is you key 7 out. Like, key a guy unless somebody went to 8 the hospital or something. 9 MR. : Yeah, and if there is 10 nothing that happened, but no inmates were 11 moved after 10:00 III. If we know that, does 12 this indicate that they were just going off on 13 numbers and just falsifying their counts, or 14 are you able to tell, by looking at these at 15 all -- 16 MR. : Mm-hmm. 17 MR. : -- if these counts are 18 legit or not? Are you able to kind of, like, 19 give us any insight into that? 20 MR. : I mean, the one with the plus 21 one is a question because I don't see why they 22 would -. Then again, you've got R&D with a 23 plus one, too. I don't know. I don't know 24 what's going on. They got R&D, (Indiscernible 25 *01:37:57) cell plus one. EFTA00110825
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 132 1 MR. : And by looking at that 2 person in R&D, are you able to tell who that 3 is? 4 MR. : Hmm-mm. 5 MR. : Not by looking at that 6 name? 7 MR. : Not by the name. I mean, 8 there's no out count. Don't have the out 9 count. 10 MR. : Don't have the out count? 11 Is that what you're saying? 12 MR. : Yeah. 13 MR. : And what time is that 14 for? 15 MR. : Well, I can't - you don't 16 have the out count. 17 MR. : No, what time are you 18 looking at? 19 MR. : This one is for the 10:00. 20 MR. : So, the 10:00 III. 21 doesn't even have an out count on it? 22 MR. : I mean, it don't add up 23 because - yeah, something is not right 24 because R&D is not on here. Unless they moved. 25 I mean, some time, they say a ghost count, but EFTA00110826
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 1 2 MR. : And what does a ghost 3 count mean? 4 MR. : -- so, like, the guys in 5 medical, they say, hey, I didn't have time to 6 key him in, but I'm verifying that he's down 133 7 here with me, and put him on my count 8 MR. : So, R&D. Does that say 9 95 plus one? 10 MR. : It could say 95 or it could 11 say 9-South. 12 MR. : Oh, 9-South plus one. 13 MR. : What is 9-South? 14 MR. : The SHU. 15 MR. : Now, this name, to me, 16 looks like.' (Phonetic Sp. *01:39:27). 17 Do you know any -- 18 MR. . Yeah. 19 MR. -: -- so, is that somebody's 20 name? 21 MR. : Yeah. That's an officer. 22 MR. : So, if someone was placed 23 in R&D, and someone was told to watch that 24 person there, would the person - at 10:00 III. 25 - would they be able to see like a dry cell, EFTA00110827
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 134 1 someone was still there at night? 2 MR. : Well, yeah, because you could 3 watch them down here, yeah. 4 MR. : And is that like a small 5 (Indiscernible *01:39:52)? Is it kind of like 6 you'd be able to - that person would know if 7 somebody was there or not? 8 MR. : Yeah. 9 MR. : Verify it. 10 MR. : Because someone could have 11 came in before the count, too. A U.S. Marshal 12 could have brung one in, and they said, hey, 13 watch this guy. He's going to 9-South. That's 14 why the plus one is throwing me off. 15 MR. : Have you ever seen plus 16 one on anything before? 17 MR. : No. I heard people calling 18 in with a plus one. But then, again, I say 19 that's like a ghost. A ghost count. 20 MR. : All right. Does this 21 MR. : But it mess up the base 22 count, though. 23 MR. : -- but seeing, especially 24 looking at the 72 -- 25 MR. : Yeah, I don't know how that EFTA00110828
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 135 1 happened. 2 MR. : -- and does this at all 3 tell you anything about any of these counts? 4 MR. : Hmm. 5 MR. : Like, we've had other 6 people, you know, in higher positions saying, 7 to me, it tells me that the counts weren't 8 done. Does that tell you that? 9 MR. : Yeah, but at 10:00? Pfft, I 10 mean, yeah. I don't know, man. Yeah. I mean, 11 I couldn't tell you, man. 12 MR. : All right. So -. 13 MR. : I couldn't tell you. I don't 14 know. I don't understand that. 15 MR. : Okay. So, is it just a 16 baffling type of deal? Because it's baffling 17 MR. : Yeah. 18 MR. : -- to us, and then, we're 19 just hoping that people can kind of help us - 20 especially people that were there -. 21 MR. : I don't know. See, that's 22 why I don't understand that. I don't see how 23 they get 73 at the 10:00 count, and then they 24 lose one after the 10:00 count. 25 MR. : And that's the same EFTA00110829
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 136 1 thing. We're trying to figure that out. 2 MR. : Unless it wasn't keyed in the 3 system. 4 MR. : At what point - are you 5 able to tell - at what point it should have 6 been keyed in the system by that? 7 MR. : Well, if a guy came into R&D, 8 and they keyed him in SHU, and then put him 9 back in R&D. 10 MR. : So if he like went to SHU 11 12 MR. : He never went to SHU. 13 MR. : -- and then back? 14 MR. : They keyed him in the SHU. 15 They put him on this count. But he didn't make 16 it. So, the medical and stuff taking the guy 17 out. So, they say, hey, leave him down there, 18 and count him in R&D. I could see that 19 happening. 20 MR. : So if, like, he's in 21 medical, and they can't -- 22 MR. : Well, so like, medical comes 23 down there, and they checking him out, and he 24 don't make it up time in SHU, for the time, 25 seeing they could say, hey, well, I'm not EFTA00110830
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 137 1 putting him on our count, put him down there. 2 MR. : So, that would be like 3 the ghost count you're talking about? 4 MR. : No, that's a real count. 5 MR. : But if he's -. 6 MR. : That's just saying someone 7 put him in there but took him out. 8 MR. : All right. But if he's 9 not physically there, he's not actually allowed 10 to be on the count. Is he? 11 MR. : Exactly. No. That's why - 12 and this is, I don't - you see, this says RA? 13 That's R&D. 14 MR. : And does it say anybody's 15 in R&D over on this one? 16 MR. : Well, there's no out count, 17 and that's what I'm saying. There's no out 18 count with that one. 19 MR. : So, this RA -- 20 MR. : RA and R&D are separate. 21 MR. -- is one. 22 MR. : You need an out count for 23 this. You don't need an out count for that. 24 This is a unit. 25 MR. : But as far as this goes, EFTA00110831
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 138 1 we're looking at the midnight and the 10:00 2 III., right? 3 MR. : Yeah. 4 MR. : So, at midnight, there is 5 RA1, and the midnight, but at the 10:00 III 6 you know -- 7 MR. : Right. 8 MR. : -- two hours earlier, the 9 zero. Correct? 10 MR. : So I'm thinking this dude 11 went back to RA. 12 MR. : Okay. 13 MR. : That's how they lost someone. 14 MR. : But there is a count slip? 15 MR. : For RA or R&D? 16 MR. : What's he talking about? 17 MR. : So, RA 18 MR. : That's the thing. That it 19 was -- 20 MR. : -- isn't the count slip 21 for - (Indiscernible *01:43:21). 22 MR. : At the top. 23 MR. : That's R&D. 24 MR. : Well, they could have messed 25 up. They should have had the RA count slip for EFTA00110832
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 139 1 that one. 2 MR. : What's the difference between 3 RA and R&D? 4 MR. : RA is a real unit. So, when 5 the guys come back from court, they're in RA 6 status. R&D is when they keyed out. 7 MR. : To go to leave? 8 MR. : To go to court. But if they 9 come back, they came back in their unit. If 10 they don't come back, they release them from 11 R&D. But RA is technically a unit. 12 MR. : And it doesn't count as a - 13 it doesn't show up as R&D? 14 MR. : No. (Indiscernible 15 *01:43:57). 16 MR. : Where would that one slip 17 - that says R&D in there - where would that 18 show up here? 19 MR. : That would be right here. 20 But they don't have nobody in R&D. 21 MR. : So, there's - and so, is 22 that even weirder, the fact that, at the 10:00 23 III. count, there's a count slip for R&D, and 24 there's nobody for R&D on this? 25 MR. : That's why I think they put EFTA00110833
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 140 1 him, and they keyed him in SHU. They keyed him 2 in SHU, the inmate, and then put him down in 3 R&D. And then, changed it after the count. Or 4 they could have changed it right after this 5 count cleared, and set it up for the next 6 count, say the inmates, the inmate is in - this 7 is the 10:00? 8 MR. : Yeah, that one is the 9 10:00 M. 10 MR. : Yeah. And you have the 11 midnight one. 12 MR. : Yes. 13 MR. : That's the midnight one 14 right there. 15 MR. : That's the 3:00. 16 MR. : Oh. 17 MR. : See, (Indiscernible 18 *01:44:44) right here. 19 MR. : Oh, I think I took it. 20 MR. : So, whoever was in SHU, they 21 put him, and they keyed him into RA and R&D. 22 MR. : This is the midnight. 23 MR. : Yeah. So that's what 24 happened. 25 MR. : Does R&D have like a dry cell EFTA00110834
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 141 1 or a dry room? 2 MR. : No, they got cells. You see, 3 they got RA right here. Yeah, that's what 4 happened. I think the guy came from SHU and 5 went to RA. That's why they lost one. 6 MR. : And can you think of why 7 a person would go from SHU to RA, at that late 8 at night? 9 MR. : Body scan. Probably pulled 10 something. And they kept him down there, put 11 him through the x-ray. 12 MR. : And is there any way - by 13 looking at these - you can see how Is there 14 - you said the 4:00 III.? 15 MR. : Yeah. That's the 4:00 III. 16 MR. : Is the person in R&D a- 17 4:00 III.? Are you able to tell by this? 18 MR. : Let me see. You know the 19 inmate that was down there or no? 20 MR. : I think Fernandez. Is 21 that right? 22 MR. : Was he a witsec dude? 23 MR. : Do you anything about 24 him? 25 MR. : No, I don't. EFTA00110835
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 142 1 MR. : Yeah, but that's what it 2 looks like. It looks like they took a guy to 3 SHU, and put him in R&D, but instead of keying 4 him in R&D, they keyed him RA. Yeah. That's 5 what it looks like. 6 MR. : So, at the 4:00 III., was 7 he anything to do with Fernandez on that, or 8 anything to do with somebody in -? 9 MR. : Well, the 4:00 III. is - no, 10 because no one is out from R&D. Let me see. 11 You've got one from 11-South. You've got no 12 one else from R&D. 13 MR. : But it's also said that 14 at the 10:00 III., right? Or I don't know which 15 one I'm looking at right there, but -. 16 MR. : No, you have one out here. 17 Yeah. But it looks like this inmate, from 18 10:00, they did the count at 10:00. Plus one. 19 Yeah. Plus one. Yeah. It seemed like they 20 got screwed up by something. Either moving 21 this guy to R&D, or whatever. I mean, the 22 count slip shouldn't have accepted anyway, 23 though. So, in the 9-South, plus one. Like, 24 don't know why that was written, but -- 25 MR. : Okay. EFTA00110836
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 143 1 MR. : -- that's what it looked 2 like. The guy came from 9-South, he went in 3 the RA. He stayed there throughout the night. 4 Whoever the inmate was -- 5 MR. : Yeah, yeah. 6 MR. -- right there. 7 MR. : And we have reason to 8 believe that that is the case. That there is a 9 guy that was in, you know, he did stay there at 10 the night, and he had somebody on him, and 11 that's one of the reasons why we want to talk 12 to somebody that was in R&D to be able to 13 verify hey, was that guy really there? 14 MR. : Mm-hmm. 15 MR. : And by looking at that, 16 would that be that individual we just talked 17 about? 18 MR. : 19 MR. : Yeah. 20 MR. : Who did the count slip? 21 MR. : It's based on the count slip 22 (Indiscernible *01:48:18). 23 MR. : Yeah. 24 MR. : Um all right. Does this 25 tell you anything else? Just before we move EFTA00110837
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 144 1 on. 2 MR. : I mean just -. I don't know. 3 Yeah. I don't know. I don't understand it. 4 That's the only thing I think they probably 5 took him down for that then. 6 MR. : Is there - which, from 7 looking at these, what basic like counts seem 8 bad to you? Does this 10:00 III. one seem like 9 a bad count to you? The way that it - what you 10 just looked at? When there's nothing on the El 11 and there's a count slip? 12 MR. : Uh. 13 MR. : If you were working that 14 night and you got a count like that, is that a 15 good count or bad count? 16 MR. : I would have said bad count. 17 MR. : And who - can you tell by 18 looking at this - who was the one who took this 19 count? 20 MR. : Uh 21 MR. -: ? And was there any 22 lieutenants involved with this? 23 MR. : I mean there could have been. 24 I'm not sure. 25 MR. : But by looking at it like EFTA00110838
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 145 1 I think like probably the midnight one there 2 was an actual ops lieutenant. Are you able to 3 tell that by looking at the - I think the ops 4 lieutenant is the one who caught it at 5 midnight? Are you able to tell that that -? 6 MR. : Oh this one here? 7 MR. : Yeah. Are you able to - 8 by looking at these, are you able to tell when 9 the lieutenant actually took the count? 10 MR. : It was - says she took the 11 count - took the count at midnight. 12 MR. : All right. And it shows 13 on it? I'm looking at it upside down 14 so I can't even see. 15 MR. : That's what it says yeah. 16 MR. : And on this one does it 17 show any lieutenant was involved? 18 MR. : No. 19 MR. : So it would just been 20 21 MR. : Yeah. 22 MR. : All right. 23 MR. : What about the 4:00 p.m.? 24 Does it show the lieutenant's name on the 4:00 25 p.m.? EFTA00110839
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 146 1 MR. : No. 2 MR. : Do you have any idea what 3 first name is? 4 MR. : No. 5 MR. : But this does seem like a 6 bad El. 7 MR. : El seems good. But um -. 8 MR. : Even though that no one 9 is listed on R&D? 10 MR. : Yeah that's what's confusing. 11 Like -. 12 MR. : Because then you say 13 there's a count slip for -. 14 MR. : This is at 9:33. 15 MR. : Wasn't that just one that 16 was printed? Oh. Because the numbers are 17 printed on that? 18 MR. : Yeah. 19 MR. : I see what you're saying. 20 So after 9:33 possibly, something changed? 21 MR. : So that could be two things. 22 Either the Marshals was trying to get one in 23 before the count and they thought they had 24 enough time to process him upstairs. And then 25 when they call in the count, it's wrong. Like EFTA00110840
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 147 1 hold on that's not it. Yeah. 2 MR. : And that's what I mean by 3 wouldn't this be incorrect if they get a count 4 slip that's not listed on the El? 5 MR. : Yeah. They got a - which one 6 did they get? R&D? Yeah. Yep. That would be 7 a bad one. 8 MR. : All right. So for this 9 it seems like the 10:00 III. on August 9th was 10 a bad El and as far as the midnight, it seems 11 like it's the count slip that's a bad slip. Is 12 that correct? Whatever that's (Indiscernible 13 *01:51:13). I'm sorry, I'm in the -. So it 14 seems like the El is good at midnight, but the 15 count slip is bad at midnight for ZA. And 16 we're primarily asking you this stuff just 17 because we've got to write a report about what 18 we're finding. And we don't want to sound - we 19 don't want to be wrong. You know what I mean? 20 MR. : Yeah. Yeah so, the count 21 slip is wrong on this one. 22 MR. : So midnight count slip is 23 wrong, El seems right. The El at 10:00 III. 24 seems wrong, but the count slips seems right. 25 At least for R&D. I - we have reason to EFTA00110841
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 148 1 believe the count slip for ZA is also wrong for 2 3 MR. : Yeah-yeah-yeah. 4 MR. : -- 10:00 III. because -. 5 Well it depends, I guess, like you said, what 6 time the individual was moved to R&D. We've 7 been told that after the you know -. People 8 are all moved prior to this time. So if that 9 person was in R&D, it would have been prior to 10 the 10:00 III. count. Does that sound right to 11 you? 12 MR. : That's what I'm saying. 13 mean something could have happened. And you 14 know taken this guy downstairs. 15 MR. : And that's why we need to 16 talk to people. So by looking at this, are you 17 able to like figure out who we can talk to? To 18 see if something happened at 10:00 III. to 19 change this count and make this -? 20 MR. : Did you see the log already? 21 MR. : The lieutenant's log? 22 MR. : Yeah. 23 MR. : Do we have it? Yeah. I 24 have it. 25 MR. : Anything with log? EFTA00110842
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 149 1 MR. : Um so here's the - yeah. 2 So here's the log from the day you were on. 3 That's the August - it says August 10th, but 4 you know it's the August 9th log in there. Are 5 you able to tell by looking at that? And 6 here's the day after. So this is the - you've 7 got the August 9th -- 8 MR. : Okay. So moving him to the 9 dry cell. 10 MR. : -- and the August 10th. 11 MR. : Okay. So he put someone in 12 dry cell. 13 MR. : Dry cell is in the SHU isn't 14 it? 15 MR. : Yeah. If there's space. 16 Okay. So it looks like they didn't key the guy 17 up. He went to dry cell depending on what 18 time. 19 MR. : And are you able to tell 20 by these lieutenant's - I think you've got the 21 actual lieutenant log back there and I would 22 assume that that's when it should be documented 23 when people are moved. Correct? Are you able 24 to tell by looking at that when someone - you 25 know this person was moved to dry cell? EFTA00110843
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 150 1 MR. : Eh. 2 MR. : Oh. And also if you've 3 got that, are you able to tell by looking at 4 that when you worked until? No? 5 MR. : No. I wouldn't have done a 6 log that day from activities. 7 MR. : Yeah. I just didn't know 8 if it like mentioned when people - you know ops 9 or activities started or stopped. 10 MR. : No. It doesn't say when he 11 It just says Inmate Fernandez on dry cell. 12 It doesn't say when he went though. 13 MR. : There's no time associated 14 with the movement on there? 15 MR. : Should have there been? 16 MR. : I mean that's good to put it 17 there yeah. 18 MR. : So you said you wouldn't 19 have been associated with the lieutenant's log. 20 Who does the lieutenant's log? 21 MR. : Ops should take care of it. 22 MR. : Ops would so on your 23 shift it would have been 24 MR. : Yeah. But Fernandez is 25 already on dry cell on day watch it says. EFTA00110844
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 151 1 MR. : And that's where we get 2 confused. And that's why we have reason to 3 believe - because it seems like Fernandez was 4 put on day watch. 5 MR. : At 3:15. Yeah. 6 MR. : Does it say 3:15 he was 7 placed on there? 8 MR. : Yeah. 9 MR. : So that indicates to us 10 the 4:00 III. and that 10:00 III. count were 11 also both bad. He wasn't in the SHU. Does 12 that make sense to you? 13 MR. : I think he was -. Yeah. He 14 wasn't in the SHU, but he was he was still 15 keyed in SHU. 16 MR. : He was still keyed in the 17 SHU, but he wasn't there? 18 MR. : Yeah. 19 MR. : Right. So for the Els, 20 they would still show it. The only way the 21 people in control would know it is if SHU 22 actually did their count and said we only got 23 72 people in here not 73. Right? 24 MR. : I mean.... 25 MR. : Because people working in EFTA00110845
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 152 1 the SHU. They know hey, we only count bodies 2 that are present. 3 MR. : Oh hold on. This is the 9th. 4 Okay. So he went to -. Transfer to special 5 housing - dry cell at 4:00. 6 MR. : At 4:00 it says? 7 MR. : On the 9th. This is done on 8 the night before. Okay. Okay. 9 MR. : Can you -? And again I 10 promise you, not a "gotcha." You're being a 11 very extremely help. Can you just note on 12 there where you're seeing these different 13 things? If you can tell at what time he was 14 moved? 15 MR. : Well this just looks like the 16 log is the same. 17 MR. : We also have reason to 18 believe that people manipulated the log after 19 the fact. 20 MR. : Yeah. That's what I'm 21 saying. Some things are (Indiscernible 22 *01:57:13). 23 MR. : Do you know anything 24 about that? While I mentioned that? 25 MR. : No. I see SHU corrections; EFTA00110846
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 153 1 Fernandez; dry cell; RA; Saturday. Yeah. So I 2 mean that's pretty much whatever. I think that 3 the dial was still keyed in the SHU. 4 MR. : But as far as -- 5 MR. : In the building physically. 6 MR. : -- are you able to -? 7 Did you say that you saw something in there 8 that said either 3:15 or then you said 4:00 9 after that? Where are you seeing that? 10 MR. : No. It looks like -- 11 MR. : The 3:00. 12 MR. : -- they're saying the guy was 13 transferred back to SHU. Hold on. But this 14 also says that I was - I relieved as 15 day watch ops. 16 MR. : It says you relieved 17 as day watch ops? 18 MR. : Yeah. 19 MR. : Instead of 20 mean 21 MR. : Yeah. 22 MR. : Is that wrong? 23 MR. : Mm. 24 MR. : Or was it that 25 potentially was late, and you relieved EFTA00110847
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 154 1 her? 2 MR. : I don't know. I'm not sure. 3 MR. : Would that be like a 4 possibility? Like can they do that? Even if 5 you're activities' lieutenant, if she wants to 6 leave and you're there and - who is the 7 ops lieutenant - wasn't? Can they say that you 8 relieved her even though you were activities' 9 lieutenant? 10 MR. : Mm. 11 MR. : Or is she not supposed to 12 write that? Or not supposed to be in there? 13 MR. : So who wrote that? 14 MR. Uh I don't know. It could be 15 - that's the thing. It could be a - it's like 16 a from the days prior. So if you don't catch 17 it, you just going to keep it the same. So 18 it's like - because I'm ops - I know I was ops. 19 That's what I'm saying. So I must have came in 20 on doing overtime that day. So normally I 21 would relieve her. So she probably left it 22 that way anyway thinking okay it's the same. 23 You're not changing that. You know? 24 *01:59:23 25 MR. : Oh you mean the day EFTA00110848
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 155 1 before you were ops is what you're saying? 2 MR. : Yeah. I think I was ops that 3 whole quarter though. I think so yeah. 4 MR. : So you were - that whole 5 quarter you were ops? Why were you -? 6 MR. : Overtime. 7 MR. : So overtime was a 8 different duty? 9 MR. : Yeah. 10 MR. : So you were the ops 11 lieutenant up until that day? You were 12 activities' lieutenant that day though? 13 MR. : Yeah. I think so. 14 MR. : So being that you were 15 ops, were you also potentially acting as like 16 the ops lieutenant? 17 MR. : Mm. 18 MR. : Like as in like since 19 that were your normal duties would have you 20 also took - taken that on? Like hey, I know 21 I'm activities, but I'll do the ops role? And 22 this is, again, just to try to help recollect - 23 24 MR. : I don't know. 25 MR. : -- what you were doing. EFTA00110849
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 156 1 MR. : I think I was ops that 2 quarter though. 3 MR. : Okay. 4 MR. : Yeah. I was ops. 5 MR. : Again we don't have your 6 records. There was no reason for us to be 7 grabbing your records or anything like that. 8 So everything we're asking you about is simply 9 to help us fill in the blanks. 10 MR. : So based on what you said, 11 you think it's - the log is from previous date. 12 It was just a spite edit that wasn't caught on 13 to. 14 MR. : Yeah. The dry cell stuff. I 15 don't know about all that. But that's what it 16 looks like. It looked like the guy was in 17 there and they didn't key him out even though 18 he was in R&D. 19 MR. : So let's say if I'm in SHU 20 and I wanted to move somebody. Or you wanted 21 to move somebody in the SHU. 22 MR. : Yeah. 23 MR. : You're going to - do you key 24 it in, or do you call in to somebody and tell 25 them to key it in? Who keys it in? EFTA00110850
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 157 1 MR. : You can do it if you want to. 2 You can do it by yourself. 3 MR. : And let's say you move it. 4 Is someone supposed to be notified hey, listen 5 this person is moved? Or you - the SHU CO's 6 can move the inmates by themselves? 7 MR. : Someone from a different 8 unit? 9 MR. : Yeah. Like control or R&D? 10 MR. : No you tell - you can call 11 control. 12 MR. : Is it policy that control 13 must be notified? 14 MR. : I don't know if it's policy, 15 but I mean, they taking a count it's good to 16 know. Hey, this is what's going on - got to 17 move this guy down to dry cell. 18 MR. : And let's say - sorry. 19 ahead. 20 MR. : I was going to say I 21 guess - are you asking like who is responsible 22 for doing the keying? Yeah who -? 23 MR. : It could be CNA. 24 MR. : What's CNA? 25 MR. : Control number two. EFTA00110851
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 158 1 MR. : Okay. But control would 2 be responsible for him. It's not ops or SHU 3 that would have been responsible for 4 (Indiscernible *02:01:28). It's control that 5 was -- 6 MR. : I mean SHU could -- 7 MR. : -- responsible for -? 8 MR. -- make that change though. 9 MR. : SHU could? 10 MR. : Yeah. 11 MR. : It's not an ops 12 responsibility or activities'? 13 MR. : I mean if they say hey, 14 need this guy in dry cell. You know. Okay. 15 You notify them. You know hey, move him. 16 MR. : Okay. I guess though 17 what we're saying is like under the regular 18 practice - I understand that other - some 19 people have the ability to do it. But who 20 should have done it? 21 MR. : Should have moved keyed the 22 inmate from -- 23 MR. : Yeah-yeah-yeah. 24 MR. : SHU to R&D? 25 MR. : Yeah. EFTA00110852
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 159 1 MR. : Uh CNA, control. 2 MR. : Control should have? 3 MR. : Number two. Yeah. 4 MR. : And how should have they 5 been notified that they needed to make that 6 change? Who should have notified them that 7 that change needed to be made? 8 MR. Mm. I mean SHU could have 9 called ahead. This guy is keyed up here. He's 10 keyed down there. 11 MR. : So I guess what I'm 12 saying is like once an inmate is moved, and 13 control needs to be notified. Hey, this guy 14 that was in SHU is now in R&A. Who needs to 15 notify control to make those changes in the 16 system? 17 MR. : The SHU. Hey this guy is 18 down there. 19 MR. : So the SHU. 20 MR. : They'll call control. Yean. 21 MR. : Okay. So whenever - 22 let's say for instance we believe Fernandez was 23 moved from the SHU to R&A on dry cell. The SHU 24 should have contacted control and said we just 25 made this movement. He needs to be rekeyed. EFTA00110853
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 160 1 MR. : Yeah. 2 MR. : All right. That's the 3 way it works? 4 MR. : Yeah. 5 MR. : And again, these are just 6 questions. We don't know. 7 MR. : It could be that or the 8 lieutenant could do it. Either or. Hey, I'm 9 moving this guy. I'm moving him here. 10 MR. : So should have a 11 lieutenant been involved in that? 12 MR. : Not necessarily. 13 MR. : Okay. And that's why 14 we're just trying to figure out what is the 15 standard operating procedure? Like what is - 16 typically - what is supposed to happen? 17 MR. : I mean there's no typical. 18 You get it done. Hey, I'm telling you to move 19 him. Or I say I'm moving this guy. The 20 lieutenant told me to move him. And yeah. 21 MR. : I guess but if anybody 22 can do it and no one is told to do it, I guess 23 - I would assume - that it would quite 24 frequently not be done because everyone would 25 be like "well he could have done it - he should EFTA00110854
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 161 1 have done it." I'm saying like who is usually 2 supposed to do it? Who is like supposed to 3 take the lead of - make sure that that's done 4 or "we just moved this guy - control you know 5 like key that out." Like how is it supposed to 6 be done? Because otherwise, it's always going 7 to fall apart because then everyone is going to 8 say, "well that person could have done it - 9 that person could have done it." 10 MR. : Yeah. 11 MR. : So is there anybody 12 that's supposed to do it? 13 MR. : To notify? 14 MR. : Yeah. To make the 15 notifications so that the numbers can be 16 changed on the El? 17 MR. : Yeah. I would say the SHU 18 staff. 19 MR. : SHU staff. 20 MR. : They kind of say hey, this 21 guy is not up there. check to see where he's 22 at. 23 MR. : All right. 24 MR. : Maybe key him to R&D. 25 MR. : Sorry I didn't mean EFTA00110855
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 162 1 MR. : No-no. That's exactly what I 2 was thinking or trying to get to. You said the 3 SHU staff could also key it in. If they keyed 4 it in, would this El document get updated? 5 MR. : Well these -. 6 MR. : Or would control have to 7 update it? 8 MR. : Control will update it. 9 MR. : So no matter even if the SHU 10 staff decided if they wanted to update it, 11 control manually has to update this document 12 specifically. 13 MR. : Yeah. Put a number on it. 14 Because this is the last one that was printed. 15 And then you make a change after that it's not 16 going to show. 17 MR. : Okay. This was -. 18 MR. : 9:30. 19 MR. : 9:30. But let's see the 4:00 20 count. I just want to see what time that 21 was printed. 22 MR. : 3:40. 23 MR. : And according to that, the 24 inmate was supposed to be moved at 3:15? 25 MR. : Nah. EFTA00110856
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 1, 1 MR. : The daily log -? 2 MR. : Well you said two 3 different - I was going to back to that. You 4 said - one time you said 3:15 and the other 5 time you said 4:00 III. Are you able to tell? 6 MR. : Yeah. It looks like 7 Okay. So let's start with this. This is the 8 9th, right? 9 MR. : Yes. 10 MR. : So you got nobody starting 11 the shift on dry cell. So this says 3:15 12 inmate Fernandez placed on dry cell from SHU. 13 MR. : Can you just put a star 14 next to that? All right. So then you believe 15 that that is where things got screwed up? They 16 never keyed him out. 17 MR. : Yeah. Inmate Fernandez 18 placed on dry cell; 75 in SHU; I do believe 19 .... All right. So at 9:00 on August 20 9th Friday he goes in at 3:15 in dry cell. And 21 he stays in there overnight. So the 4:00 22 count, he's still keyed in there though, right? 23 MR. : Well that's what we're 24 trying to figure out. 25 MR. : Yeah. EFTA00110857
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 164 1 MR. : Because it's not caught 2 until -. So we believe from people that we 3 talked to, it was caught at midnight. And that 4 person who caught it said like this person is 5 on dry cell and then revised the numbers and 6 the count. 7 MR. : Mm-hm. 8 MR. : Now we're trying to 9 determine were the counts ever conducted in the 10 SHU? 11 MR. : Mm. 12 MR. : It doesn't appear to us 13 that they would have been. Because they would 14 have caught that at 4:00 III. and the 10:00 15 They would have said this is the number 16 of people we physically have present. 17 MR. : Yeah but I don't see -. 18 MR. : And even at midnight it 19 still says 73. And it's changed to 72. And to 20 us it suggests - and everyone else that we're 21 talking to - that we haven't shared this 22 information with many people. You're one of a 23 very select few that we're even showing this 24 stuff to. 25 MR. : Mm-hm. EFTA00110858
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 165 1 MR. : But the people that we've 2 showed it to before says, hey the fact that 3 they're reporting 73 and the actual count is 4 72, they're basically getting the number from 5 this and just writing that down. They're not 6 actually conducting the counts. Would you 7 agree with that statement? 8 MR. : They could do that. Or they 9 could actually be counting but not counting. 10 Making sure that they're just walking and 11 making sure they're alive. 12 MR. : So doing more of a round 13 than a count? 14 MR. : Yeah. 15 MR. : And that is also one of 16 the things that we believe happened. Is that 17 at least on one of the instances, they did do a 18 round, but they didn't do an actual count. 19 MR. : Yeah. Because honestly, I 20 don't see it on this end. A 4:00 and a 10:00. 21 MR. : You don't see what? 22 MR. : The missing of 4:00 and 23 10:00. 24 MR. : Yeah. The fact that they 25 missed both seems very unlikely. EFTA00110859
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 166 1 MR. : Yeah. 2 MR. : If they're actually 3 counting. Correct? 4 MR. : Yeah. 5 MR. : And that's why we believe 6 - and it sounds like you agree - they didn't 7 actually do the 4:00, the 10:00, or the 8 midnight count. 9 MR. : No. I mean I'm thinking they 10 did to the 4:00 and the 10:00. 11 MR. : Even though the numbers 12 are wrong? 13 MR. : Yeah. They probably just 14 went off the numbers. 15 MR. : SO you think -- 16 MR. : What -- 17 MR. : -- they conducted the round? 18 MR. : They conducted a round 19 not a count. 20 MR. : Yeah. Or something. 21 MR. : I mean because they can't 22 miss the number if they're actually counting 23 numbers both at 4:00 - or all not just both. 24 At 4:00, at 10:00, and at midnight, all of the 25 count slips are wrong. EFTA00110860
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 167 1 MR. : Yeah but then that's what 2 those (Indiscernible *02:08:32) to plus one. 3 It's like they know they got someone, but then 4 it's like -. Like maybe they was told -. 5 MR. : But they're still using 6 the 73 plus one. It should be 72 plus one if 7 they're doing that. 8 MR. : Yeah. Yeah. 9 MR. : Unless it was 73 minus 10 one. Then they could do it. But 73 plus one 11 seems to indicate they're using the number 12 that's provided -- 13 MR. : On the El. 14 MR. : -- and saying we got one 15 more down there. 16 MR. : Yeah. I don't know what was 17 going on with this. That's baffling. 18 MR. : All right. To your 19 knowledge, if they're not doing the count 20 though that's all on the SHU? The people that 21 are in there right now? Nothing to do with 22 lieutenants. 23 MR. : No. 24 MR. : Okay. There's no way for 25 like anyone else other than the people in the EFTA00110861
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 168 1 SHU -. Or let me ask it a different way. Is 2 there any way for anyone other than the SHU to 3 know that they're not doing the counts? 4 MR. : No. 5 MR. : No? Okay. Anything that 6 you didn't initial, just again to say what it 7 is we showed you. 8 MR. : (Indiscernible *02:09:41) 9 MR. : Is this one you or me? 10 MR. : That's (Indiscernible 11 *02:09:48) 12 MR. : So what does this pertain all 13 to - and 14 MR. : Well it's everybody know. 15 Because everybody that's in the SHU. Right? 16 We've got to talk to them. Hey, did you 17 conduct these counts. Or these you know? 18 Because this just brought to light the fact 19 that it doesn't appear that the counts were 20 ever being conducted. So we've got to - that's 21 why we've got to talk to the people that we 22 want to talk to first. People like yourself 23 that were lieutenants on duty. Hey, do you 24 know anything about this? Did you - do you 25 know? EFTA00110862
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 169 1 MR. : I mean they wasn't counting. 2 MR. : Yeah-yeah-yeah. I know. 3 But I mean just letting you know like, oh yeah, 4 first we want to know about the cellmate. Hey, 5 did you know anything about this? Did you - it 6 looks like -. From the way that this memo 7 reads, we assumed that either you or told 8 hey, he's WAB. Make sure he gets a 9 cellmate. Because that's one of the reasons 10 why we want to talk -. 11 MR. : Based on that memo? 12 MR. : Yeah. because like the 13 fact that He's saying, I knew. I knew he 14 was going WAB. And I told him. 15 MR. : Mm-hm. 16 MR. : Hey, make sure he gets a 17 cellmate. So the assumption that we were going 18 off of is that either you and/or 19 MR. : Mm-hm. 20 MR. : -- spoke to ana 21 said he's going WAB. Make sure he gets a 22 cellmate. 23 MR. : Mm. 24 MR. : But it sounds like what 25 you're saying is you don't -. You didn't even EFTA00110863
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 170 1 know, and you never had that conversation. 2 MR. : With and everything. 3 No. I don't even know - I never knew the dude 4 until that thing came out. You know what I 5 mean. He would have been notified. 6 MR. : Right. 7 MR. : But then again, I mean, we do 8 get notified. But usually R&D calls us up. 9 Hey, those two guys ain't coming back. 10 MR. : And is it your belief 11 though by that -? Would it be -? All right. 12 If you said you dint' speak to him. So 13 probably he was notified directly from control? 14 Or R&D? 15 MR. : I would say probably R&D. 16 MR. : So R&D wouldn't call 17 control. And control wouldn't call him? R&D 18 would call directly to the SHU? 19 MR. : That's how we used to do it. 20 MR. : Okay. That's how it 21 would always be? So when you were in the SHU - 22 23 MR. : They call up -. 24 MR. : R&D would call you 25 directly? EFTA00110864
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 1 MR. : But again that's evening 2 watch. Again that's on evening watch. 3 MR. : Right. 4 MR. : That guy's not coming back. 5 MR. : But at 1:50 that's early. 6 And that's when it notified. All right. So if 7 he doesn't have WAB listed on his name on the 8 court list that morning. And that's what 9 people have told us. So we're going on the 10 assumption that - and this is an assumption. 11 That he was - somebody was contacted in the SHU 12 saying hey, it looks like he's not coming back. 13 He did write possibly. But that's the first 14 that we're seeing WAB. 15 MR. : Mm-hm. 16 MR. : So the thought is that 17 someone contacted . We haven't - we've 18 got to talk to him. But like and say, hey, 19 doesn't look like he's coming back. You know 20 we're just notifying you now. 21 MR. : Mm-hm. 22 MR. : And again we were told 23 typically the way it works - and it sounds like 24 you're correcting us - R&D typically calls 25 control. Control calls ops. Ops calls SHU. EFTA00110865
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 172 1 Is that not correct? 2 MR. : What. When an inmate doesn't 3 come back? 4 MR. : Yeah. 5 MR. : No. 6 MR. : No? It doesn't work that 7 way? So R&D you're saying typically just would 8 go straight to SHU? 9 MR. : That's a heads up. That's a 10 courtesy. 11 MR. : Right. 12 MR. : Hey, this guy's not coming 13 back. Control knows. 14 MR. : Right. 15 MR. : Control knows. They could 16 call control too. But usually they call in you 17 know why would you call me? 18 MR. : I don't know. 19 MR. : You know? You in SHU. 20 MR. : That's just what we were 21 told. 22 MR. : Hey, this guy's not coming 23 back. 24 MR. : And then again, we're 25 only as good as who the people we talk to. EFTA00110866

And that's where we've got to 6 -. All right. Well let's figure out what 7 actually happened. Is this abnormal or is it 8 normal? You're saying that this seems to be a 9 very abnormal day. 10 MR. : I'm talking about that's why 11 the counts and the slips and the rounds and the 12 falsifying stuff like that. But everything 13 else, I mean, this place is a busy place. 14 MR. : Yeah. 15 MR. : You know? They lose - 16 inmates go out WAB all the time. New inmates 17 come in. 18 MR. : Yeah. 19 MR. : So this is a revolving door. 20 MR. : All right. I know we're 21 taking a lot longer than we thought. Let me 22 just go through a lot of these things now. 23 Just back to the round sheet where -. 24 MR. : Yeah. 25 MR. : What is the purpose of a EFTA00110870
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 177 1 supervisor actually signing this round sheet? 2 MR. : Making sure the officer is 3 following and doing their rounds how they're 4 supposed to be. 5 MR. : And we don't really need 6 to look at it. Just. All right. So it's not 7 to verify that they were done. It's to verify 8 that the sheets are being kept up? 9 MR. : So if I go up there and I see 10 the times. You all made a round after 40 11 minutes. What happened here? 12 MR. : So you ask them about 13 that. 14 MR. : Right. 15 MR. : But on this date you 16 can't - you don't remember going and speaking 17 to them? 18 MR. : I said I could have went. 19 don't recall. 20 MR. : Okay. And again just 21 going forward, know that these are just simply 22 questions to see what we can find out about 23 that day. And as well as you know the point 24 being you saying that this is such an abnormal 25 day. And it was such a big event that's been EFTA00110871

Like I said I just 6 know I worked. And that was it. 7 MR. : All right. And as far as 8 you know, were rounds being conducted in the 9 SHU at that time? 10 MR. : Yeah. It's day watch. 11 You've got to make rounds. 12 MR. : On day watch you've got 13 to? 14 MR. : There's no way you can avoid 15 a round on day watch. 16 MR. : What about for - and I'm 17 not talking about just your shift - I'm saying 18 the SHU in general. Are you aware that rounds 19 weren't being conducted on evening watch or 20 morning watch? 21 MR. : Weren't? 22 MR. : Yeah. Were not. 23 MR. : Evening watch you've got to 24 make rounds too.

LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 179 1 MR. : You have to. You've got to 2 go. Yeah . 3 MR. : So when you were there 4 they were being conducted? 5 MR. : Yeah. That's why I'm saying. 6 The whole mess of the count thing. I'm like I 7 don't know. That's -. 8 MR. : Any of those people that 9 we discussed that were on day watch and you 10 know anybody working in the SHU on August 9th 11 and August 10th. Do you have any recollection 12 of speaking with any of those people about 13 morning watch or -? I mean not morning watch. 14 About speaking with about rounds or counts. 15 MR. : No. 16 MR. : No. And now being that 17 you were an ops - the ops lieutenant. It 18 sounds like your quarterly post. Would that be 19 something that you would visit with them and 20 just say hey guys make sure you're doing your 21 rounds or anything like that? Would that be a 22 duty or responsibility of an ops lieutenant? 23 MR. : Yeah. But not - it's not 24 really my responsibility. It's the SHU 25 lieutenant. EFTA00110873
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 180 1 MR. : Yeah-yeah. Did you have 2 any conversations with the SHU lieutenant? At 3 the time? 4 MR. : Yeah. I talked to the SHU 5 lieutenant. Yeah. 6 MR. : Yeah-yeah-yeah. 7 MR. : Oh no you said it was 8 Right? 9 MR. : Right. 10 MR. : Yeah. 11 MR. : Do you remember talking 12 to him at all about Epstein or 13 MR. : I ain't seen him since that 14 day. 15 MR. : Prior -? No. What I'm 16 asking about is up until August 10th. 17 MR. : Mm-hm. 18 MR. : Do you remember ever 19 conversing with about make sure you're 20 going these rounds and that Epstein is being 21 you know looked at or he's got a cellmate or 22 anything like that? 23 MR. : Man, I don't recall that. 24 MR. : No? 25 MR. : Yeah. But we all you know. EFTA00110874
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 181 1 It's hey, you got the email. 2 MR. : Right. The email saying 3 he needs a cellmate. 4 MR. : Yeah-yeah. And all the 5 lieutenants know. They say oh no, such-and- 6 such we got the email. He was off of watch. 7 You know? 8 MR. : Do you think it's 9 acceptable for any lieutenant to say that they 10 didn't know that Epstein needed a cellmate? 11 MR. : Some people say they didn't 12 know the cellmate left. 13 MR. : No. The - if they're 14 saying that Let's talk about just the 15 people on that day. Let's talk about like for 16 instance somebody that maybe wasn't normally a 17 lieutenant. Can you - 18 MR. : Mm-hm. 19 MR. : All right. So she's in - 20 you said basically she's in training. She's 21 like an acting lieutenant. She's the person -. 22 MR. : I don't think she was acting 23 that day either though. I mean -. 24 MR. : Well I just mean that she 25 was activities' lieutenant. EFTA00110875
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 182 1 MR. : Yeah-yeah. 2 MR. : Sorry. She was the 3 activities' lieutenant and she was either 4 training or she's typically an SOS at the time 5 though. Should have she known by Epstein being 6 on the hotlist and Epstein you know coming off 7 suicide watch. Should she have known that he 8 was required to have a cellmate? Just by -? 9 MR. : Uh-uh. No. 10 MR. : No? What about 11 Should he have known? 12 MR. : I mean that's only if you're 13 aware though. If I'm not aware, the guy left. 14 MR. : I thought you said if 15 you're - first of all, I thought you said that 16 17 MR. : Well, no. 18 MR. : Everybody knows that in 19 the SHU you're supposed to have a cellmate 20 unless you're a certain classification. 21 MR. : Yeah. But sometimes it be an 22 odd number and they can't have one. 23 MR. : But then the second thing 24 would be he's on the hotlist. Everybody knows 25 if you're on the hotlist you're supposed to EFTA00110876
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 183 1 have a cellmate. Right? 2 MR. : Yeah. 3 MR. : And then the third thing 4 would be that there's an actual email that was 5 sent out and that said he's supposed to have a 6 cellmate. 7 MR. : Right. 8 MR. : So that's where -. With 9 that all in mind -. And I'm not -- 10 MR. : About the notifications -. 11 MR. : -- pointing to one person 12 out in particular. What I'm just asking is 13 these people that were working. So you're not 14 like throwing somebody under the bus. 15 MR. : Oh well. 16 MR. : I'm just asking like as 17 far as these people. Should have known 18 that there should have been -? And I'm not 19 saying that he knew. These people may very 20 well have not have known that I'm 21 just asking like -. 22 MR. : Yeah but I'm thinking. 23 MR. : In general with their 24 positions. 25 MR. : In general. Well EFTA00110877
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 184 1 probably never got the email. 2 MR. : Like you're saying you 3 knew. So yes. He knew. Should have 4 known? 5 MR. : I think all lieutenants 6 should know. 7 MR. : What about -? 8 MR. : But then again, we all - if 9 you're not aware to the inmate's leaving, 10 there's no reason to follow-up. 11 MR. : And that's why I started 12 after you. So at this point you said at least 13 by 8:00, people should know -. 14 MR. : That the guy's not coming 15 back or something. 16 MR. : He's not coming back. 17 MR. : Yeah. 18 MR. : So that's where I'm going 19 off of -. Alright, there's three lieutenants 20 from that point. After you leave, there's 21 three lieutenants. Right? There's 22 MR. : Mm-hm. 23 MR. -: 24 MR. : Mm-hm. 25 MR. : And then the next EFTA00110878
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 185 1 morning, . Should - who 2 replaced you - should she have known that he 3 needed a cellmate? 4 MR. : I could see her not knowing. 5 MR. : And is that because she 6 wasn't a lieutenant? 7 MR. : Not a lieutenant. 8 MR. : Okay. What about 9 10 MR. He's not a lieutenant. 11 MR. : So should have he known? 12 MR. : Yeah. Or knew. Like I said. 13 we all knew. 14 MR. : You all knew. 15 MR. : Because we got the email. 16 MR. : And then what about 17 ? Not only the email though. It 18 sounds like there was at least three checks. 19 One: he's in the SHU. Should have a cellmate. 20 Two: he came off of suicide watch. Should have 21 a cellmate. Three: an email was sent out to 22 all the lieutenants. Should have a cellmate. 23 So is there any -? 24 MR. : Yeah, but two and three 25 happens all the time though. Like the guy EFTA00110879
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 186 1 comes off suicide watch. You put him in SHU 2 with a cellmate. And then again, that's not 3 forever. 4 MR. : Yeah-yeah. But in this 5 case, you know, July 30th to August 9th or 6 10th. 7 MR. : But is it a set -? I don't 8 think -. That's up to psychology. Because we 9 have guys that - suicide watch. Same thing. 10 Once they leave, they didn't commit suicide and 11 it's nothing. 12 MR. : So if you get this email 13 then on July 30th saying make sure he's got a 14 cellmate. 15 MR. : There's no time on it. 16 MR. : In your mind, is that -? 17 Well two weeks from now? He doesn't need one 18 anymore. 19 MR. : There's no set time. It's 20 just immediately this guy's coming off. A guy 21 maybe got kicked to the unit. 22 MR. : Okay. So in his case -. 23 All right. How should it have been -? What 24 kind of notification should have been made 25 then? EFTA00110880
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 187 1 MR. : This is a tough one. But if 2 a guy goes to court and he leaves, you know and 3 you're doing your daily operations. There's so 4 much going on. Epstein ain't the - I know he's 5 high-profile out to the outside. 6 MR. : But I mean he's still on 7 the hotlist. 8 MR. : Yeah. 9 MR. : So he's on the hotlist 10 still. So doesn't that indicate he needs 11 cellmate? If he's still on the hotlist. 12 MR. : Yeah. But he had one. 13 Right? 14 MR. : Right. And that's why 15 I'm saying. By - we're knocking you and we're 16 knocking out of this thing because you're 17 saying 8:00. So let's now look at 8:00 on. 18 Let's say - even for this instance let's even 19 say and they didn't know. Now 20 let's look at Certainly by 21 midnight you should have known. Right? 22 MR. : Yeah. But not a lieutenant 23 though. 24 MR. : No? 25 MR. : Like if the information isn't EFTA00110881
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 188 1 told to me -. 2 MR. : But if they're coming in 3 You said that they needed to do a around. 4 Right? Don't these - for this case 5 needed to do a round in the SHU. 6 Correct? 7 MR. : Mm-hm. 8 MR. : Check on all the inmates. 9 MR. : Check inmates, feeding, or 10 officers - making sure they doing the rounds or 11 got to go to SHU. 12 MR. -: Was she 13 required to check on all the inmates and do a 14 round? 15 MR. : When she was probably doing a 16 round. Yeah. 17 MR. : All right. So as far as 18 her. By that point, now we've only got You 19 know we're now -. You know let's say that 20 she's the one that corrected you know the count 21 slip. She caught that. She goes. She visited 22 -. She's supposed to go to the SHU. She's 23 supposed to actually visit all the tiers and do 24 a round? 25 MR. : I mean our policy is really EFTA00110882
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 189 1 to say you've got to do a round in the SHU. 2 You know. So you in SHU, you in SHU. I don't 3 know what did she do. 4 MR. : And that's where I was 5 getting to before. Is doing a round in the SHU 6 for a lieutenant - does that mean just walking 7 into the SHU and walking out? Or does that 8 entail actually doing something when you're in 9 there? 10 MR. : I don't think -. There's no 11 guidance on that. 12 MR. : So we've had other people 13 tell us that when you - a lieutenant is 14 actually required to walk the tiers and conduct 15 a round. Not to list it on the round sheet, 16 but like it were - like the people who list 17 those rounds on the rounds sheet. Is that 18 you're understanding of what you were supposed 19 to do? 20 MR. : I mean yeah. 21 MR. : So is that what she 22 should have done? She should have walked the 23 tiers and checked on the inmates? 24 MR. : Yeah. I mean -. 25 MR. : By policy I'm saying. EFTA00110883
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 190 1 MR. : By policy you've got to make 2 a round. 3 MR. : And that round is 4 classified as like a round like the COs who are 5 in the SHU do a round? 6 MR. : I've got to double check on 7 that. 8 MR. : Okay. 9 MR. : To tell you the truth. 10 MR. : And that's what's unsure? 11 MR. : Yeah. 12 MR. : You're unclear? Okay. 13 And that's where I'm still trying. Because 14 we've also had less people - but some people 15 have also said no, a round for a lieutenant and 16 a round for a CO is different. A round for a 17 lieutenant is visiting the SHU and checking in 18 with the officers. We've had more people say 19 no-no-no-no-no. You need to go into the SHU. 20 You need to check in with the officers, but you 21 also need to walk the tier. 22 MR. : Right. 23 MR. : And I'm trying to get 24 that like -. 25 MR. : It depends on the lieutenant. EFTA00110884
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 191 1 MR. : And then their 2 interpretation? 3 MR. : Yeah. 4 MR. : But there's no -? 5 MR. : Like I said that's why I 6 really don't - I'll have to check on that part. 7 MR. : Okay. And what policy 8 would that be in? Where it would spell that 9 out? 10 MR. : That would be in inmate 11 discipline which is SHU. And it also would 12 probably be in psychology. 13 MR. : So it would be psychology 14 for if the lieutenant needs to do it? 15 MR. : I know it's about 30 rounds 16 and everything. 17 MR. : But it would also be like 18 19 MR. : But for lieutenants -. 20 MR. : It would also be like a 21 SHU type of -? 22 MR. : Yeah. But I'm thinking it's 23 more You got the polices? 24 MR. : Well I got the SHU 25 policies. I don't have the psychology. EFTA00110885
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 192 1 2 3 4 MR. MR. going to look. MR. Isn't it in there? : I don't know. I was : Yeah. Let me see. It might 5 be. Psychology is definitely the 30-minute 6 7 8 rounds. I know. MR. : Again these aren't "I gotcha." These are just genuine questions. 9 MR. : Yeah. 10 MR. : But psychology you think 11 might have it with like lieutenants -. 12 MR. : Well they definitely with the 13 30 minutes. The -. 14 MR. : Yeah. I mean the SHU 15 policy clearly states that rounds need to be 16 conducted. I just haven't seen anything that 17 said lieutenants need to do it. And that's 18 where - I mean you can look through them if you 19 want. 20 MR. : Nah. 21 MR. : If you can -. 22 MR. : I think it's in there. It 23 may not be in this, but it's definitely in 24 there. 25 MR. : Speaking of lieutenants, EFTA00110886
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 193 1 we don't need to make you look in this. We'll 2 look it up. 3 MR. : This is post orders. 4 MR. : We'll dig into that. 5 MR. : Yeah. 6 MR. : But you think it's 7 probably in the SHU? 8 MR. : Yeah. It's a round, but to 9 say specific go 10, check on and all that. I 10 don't know if it says all that. 11 MR. : All right. It just says 12 you need to conduct a round. And then 13 different people interpret it different way. 14 MR. : Yeah. Yep. 15 MR. : All right. You said -. 16 MR. : But then again, if she don't 17 get the information, I can see it being missed. 18 MR. : Right. 19 MR. : Because if no one tells me 20 that the guy left -. 21 MR. : But if she says that i 22 know left, I know Epstein is by himself. 23 But I didn't know he needed a cellmate. 24 MR. : Mm-hm. 25 MR. : Does that make sense to EFTA00110887
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE 194 1 you at all? 2 MR. : I mean. Unless she didn't 3 read the email or she's not -. I don't know 4 how it is. Maybe she wasn't aware. 5 MR. : But I mean that fact that 6 - again - those three things we talked about. 7 I understand you say like odd number or you 8 know that kind of stuff. But the fact that 9 there's an email that went out, there's the 10 hotlist that has his name on it, and the fact 11 that he's in the SHU and he's not one of those. 12 So one of those three, she should have at least 13 known, right, that Epstein was required to have 14 a cellmate? 15 MR. : Yeah. 16 MR. : So her saying I didn't 17 know. Is that to you like, of course you knew. 18 You've been around for a long time. Whereas -. 19 MR. : I mean I'm thinking she needs 20 - no one told her. 21 MR. : No one verbalized it to 22 her. 23 MR. : Yeah. Yeah. 24 MR. : But do you think that 25 that's an appropriate excuse for a lieutenant? EFTA00110888

And I 5 know you don't want to like - you know - but 6 like - I'm just trying to reconcile it too. 7 Like alright, if you're saying you didn't know, 8 how is that possible if everybody else -. 9 Everybody else I talked to seems to know. 10 MR. : Then again, I told you the 11 hotlist and all that. That's things that's 12 like -. Like the email, even though it's out, 13 that's - there's no timeframe on that. 14 MR. : Yeah. But the fact that 15 they're still on the hotlist, I would think 16 that that would continue because the email went 17 out -- 18 MR. : Yeah. 19 MR. : -- but then you're also 20 placed on the hotlist. And if you're on the 21 hotlist it basically corresponds with that 22 email. Correct? 23 MR. : Yeah. But the hotlist is for 24 initial. So you get locked up, that's when I'm 25 checking. I know I'm checking to see if this EFTA00110889

He comes and he just 8 got a psych alert and we make sure he get a 9 bunkie. He got a bunkie. He goes a month with 10 a bunkie. Day 31 we're not still - you know. 11 MR. : Yeah-yeah. So in this 12 case you think even July 30th to August 9th 13 when the guy leaves that could be enough time 14 to say he doesn't need one anymore? 15 MR. : I mean I'm not psychology. 16 MR. : All right. And you don't 17 know of psychology making any more -?

Hey, it's an email. 16 MR. : So just you think that 17 they should have continued like once a week or 18 something sending out an email?
