Per our discussion, below is the information we discussed in our conference call. As stated, the OIG supports the decision of the
USAO b
if a deferred prosecution is granted, we be able to obtain a statement of facts (or something similar)
related
falsification of the logs and any other information they may have regarding direction they received
from superiors reference cellmate assignments, cameras, etc.
The OIG has multiple cases open regarding falsification of logs at various institutions across the country but I wanted to highlight
the below four:
1. 2019-010548 - Inmate suicide at Butner- logs falsified - guilty plea to false statement, 1 year probation, 5:20-CR-73-1-M
Eastern District of North Carolina
2. 2019-011019 - Inmate on inmate homicide at Butner (2 Subjects)-logs falsified -guilty plea to false statement, 6 mos
probation/$1k fine, 5:20-CR-114- ID and 2D Eastern District of North Carolina)
3. 2020-000471 - Inmate death natural causes at Leavenworth-logs falsified; Subject gave voluntary statement, case declined,
administrative charges sustained and pending disciplinary action
4. 2020-000406 - Inmate suicide at Petersburg-logs falsified; declined; Subject gave voluntary statement, case declined,
administrative charges sustained, employee proposed for removal (I believe may still be pending)
The inmate deaths listed below do not reveal any employee administrative investigations in the OIG's database specifically
associated to the death. Subsequent to an inmate death, the BOP may have reviewed events, and employees were ultimately
disciplined. However, the BOP system cannot reliably reflect the association of the inmate death with the employee discipline if
there was any.
As for inmate deaths over the last ten years at New York and Brooklyn. here's what the BOP has:

hat one is included out of an abundance of caution.
In BOP cases that resulted in sustained charges of falsification with regard to log entries closed since January 1, 2019, the
following disciplinary actions were taken:
Letter of Reprimand - 2
Suspension - 50
Demotion - 1
Termination - 3
Resignation/Retirement Prior to Discipline - 6
In relation to my discussion on investigations being retained in an employee's permanent personnel file, please refer to 5 USC
§3322
