person that we interview.
10
MR. -:
.mm
11
MR.
: It doesn't necessarily
12
mean that you've done anything wrong. It's
13
just that's what the investigation is looking
14
into. You know security failure of the
15
institution - job performance failure. Because
16
someone died in this matter. And looking into

EFTA00110999
12
1
MR.

2
came here to the FCI Danbury?
3
MR.
:
Yeah.
4
MR.
: And um did you come here
5
for a promotion?
6
MR.
:
Yeah.
7
MR.
:
So were you a GS9
8
lieutenant?
9
MR.
: I was a 9 there but I got TDY
10
down there. So I was 11 also there.
11
MR.
: Oh you were?
12
MR.
:
Yeah. I got TDY for about
13
four months.
14
MR.
: Okay. Can you just -
15
what does that mean?
16
MR.
: Temporary Duty. Like I
17
was picked up. I got my promotion, but I had
18
to stay down there for a few months until I
19
came up here.
20
MR.
: Okay. So FCI Danbury.
21
You were promoted to an 11 but they had you
22
stay down there as an 11 for four months?
23
MR.
: Yeah.
24
MR.
:
So when were you actually
25
picked up?
EFTA00111000
1
MR.
: About three months. In
2
October, September, October, November, three
3
months. Yeah.
4
MR.
:
So when did you actually
5
get your promotion?
6
MR.
Mm September.
7
MR.
: Of 2019?
8
MR.

9
MR.
: And when did you
10
physically come to the FCI Danbury?
11
MR.
:
December.
12
MR.
:
December. Okay. And
13
your current position is still GS11 lieutenant?
14
MR.
:
Yeah.
15
MR.
: And what was your
16
position at the MCC on August 9th and 10th of
17
2019?
18
MR.
:
Uh August you said 10th?
19
MR.
:
Yeah. So August - you
20
said September you got your 11 so I'm assuming
21
in August of 2019 you were
22
MR.
: I was a 9 then.
23
MR.
: -- a 9 lieutenant.
24
MR.
:
Yeah. In August yeah.
25
MR.
: And this is just for my
EFTA00111001
14
1
own knowledge. What is the difference between
2
a 9 lieutenant and an 11 lieutenant?
3
MR.
: Pretty much you could -
4
if you at 9 you can't run the institution.
5
Because it's not a higher rank. So like 11 or
6
the only ones who can without a captain.
7
You're the highest. But a 9 you can't be the
8
highest.
9
MR.
: So does that mean like as
10
far as like being the ops lieutenant versus the
11
activities' lieutenant?
12
MR.
: Nah. You could be ops as a
13
9.
14
MR.
: Okay.
15
MR.
: But - but -.
16
MR.
: So like acting captain
17
you mean?
18
MR.
: No. Say like if it's a 9,
19
it's like evening watch. Four to twelve or
20
midnight. The 11 is the highest authority.
21
MR.
: Okay.
22
MR.
: As a 9 you can't do that.
23
You have to have 11 or above for 9 to be in
24
authority.
25
MR.
: Okay.
EFTA00111002
1
MR.
: Yeah.
2
MR.
: So you can be an ops
3
lieutenant but somebody else has to be there
4
that's higher than you?
5
MR.
: Yeah. If you a 9 yeah.
6
MR.
: Okay. Do you recall what
7
shift you worked on August 9th and 10th of
8
2019?
9
MR.
: August 9th? What day was
10
that?
11
MR.
: It's August 9th - sorry.
12
We'll just talk about August 9th. August 9th,
13
2019 that was the day before Epstein was found
14
dead. It was a Friday.
15
MR.
: So the Friday. I probably
16
was day watch.
17
MR.
: Okay. I'm going to give
18
you the daily roster from that date just do you
19
can reprint it.
20
MR.
: Yeah.
21
MR.
: Um anytime I give you a
22
document - you don't have to do it right away -
23
but you can - I'm just going to have you
24
initial and date each document. It's just for
25
the record we can say that's the document you
EFTA00111003
1
looked at. And we don't like replace
2
something. You know what I mean?
3
MR.
: Mm-hm.
4
MR.
: Um so on that can you
5
find your name and see where it is that you
6
worked just to verify?
7
MR.
: Yeah. I did overtime from
8
6:00 to 2:00.
9
MR.
: From 6:00 a.m. to 2:00
10
p.m.?
11
MR.
: Yeah.
12
MR.
: And that was on August
13
9th?
14
MR.
: Yeah.
15
MR.
: Do you know if you -
16
there were the specific times that you worked?
17
I know for instance the individual that was the
18
activities' lieutenant after you. She didn't
19
start until 4:00 p.m. because she had her
20
regular time shift until 4:00 p.m.
21
MR.
: Mm-hm.
22
MR.
: Would that mean that you
23
had worked until 4:00? Or would you still have
24
stopped at 2:00?
25
MR.
: Uh I don't know.
EFTA00111004
17
1
MR.
: Do you usually have to
2
wait until the new activities' lieutenant comes
3
on board?
4
MR.
Mm that's
was -. But
5
she wasn't a lieutenant here though.
6
MR.
: No. She was an SIS, but
7
she got I guess temporarily promoted. At least
8
for that day to be able to be the activities'
9
lieutenant. But she was in attorney conference
10
until 4:00 p.m. And she didn't start as the
11
activities' lieutenant until 4:00 p.m.
12
MR.
: I don't remember. But I know
13
we usually - even though it says 8:00 to 4:00,
14
we usually do 6:00 to 2:00, 2:00 to 10:00
15
anyway.
16
MR.
: Yeah.
17
MR.
: We relieve people early.
18
MR.
: Right. And my
19
understanding is it's for traffic purposes.
20
MR.
: So if the 9th I would have
21
came on then. She wouldn't have to stay until
22
4:00. I don't know.
23
MR.
: How does that typically
24
work though I guess. Would it be - do you have
25
to be relieved before you can leave?
EFTA00111005
18
1
MR.
Mm you mean for me?
2
MR.
: Yeah. Like if you're the
3
activities' lieutenant at the MCC back in
4
August of 2019. Are you allowed to leave
5
before the new activities' lieutenant takes
6
over? Or do you have to wait until she's done?
7
I'm just trying to help refresh your memory if
8
you can -.
9
MR.
: I'm not sure. I know how we
10
do it is someone day I got you. I'll cover
11
you. Then we relieved.
12
MR.
: But you don't
13
specifically remember this date?
14
MR.
: No.
15
MR.
: Not the fact that like
16
Epstein died the day after. Does that help you
17
like kind of refresh your memory of what your
18
involvement may have been?
19
MR.
: I know I was doing day watch.
20
I was doing day watch. I do know that. But as
21
far as who relieved and all that. No. I don't
22
remember that.
23
MR.
: All right. We can
24
probably just grab your time and attendance
25
records then later just to try to
EFTA00111006
19
1
(Indiscernible * *00:12:34) that down. But you
2
just can't remember at this point?
3
MR.
: What you asked me was I
4
there?
5
MR.
: Yeah-yeah-yeah. Just I
6
mean from the 2:00 to 4:00. You don't remember
7
if you would have - you had to wait until
8
was actually in place before you left or
9
not.
10
MR.
Nah. I don't know. I could
11
have been there at 4:00 because I left at 2:00.
12
I'm not sure.
13
MR.
: Okay. Fair enough.
14
MR.
: Yeah.
15
MR.
: So you either worked
16
until 2:00 p.m. or 4:00 p.m. you just don't
17
recall.
18
MR.
: Yeah.
19
MR.
: All right. And who did
20
you - on that date - who would have you
21
primarily worked with?
22
MR.
: Mm
I don't know. Because
23
Friday -. I don't know why I'm doing overtime
24
on Friday. I'm trying to think. And
is
25
normally not the ops lieutenant though either.
EFTA00111007
20
1
MR.
: Is that because he was a
2
9?
3
MR.
is 11. He's SHU
4
lieutenant.
5
MR.
: At that time
was the
6
SHU lieutenant.
7
MR.
: Oh no-no-no
was the SHU
8
lieutenant. Okay. So if I'm on Friday and
9
Saturday, then -.
10
MR.
: Well here if -.
11
MR.
: Maybe. I don't know. You
12
have my what's her name records?
13
MR.
: This is Saturday. So I'm
14
giving you the daily assignment roster.
15
MR.
: I'm thinking this is my day
16
off. I'm thinking Friday was my day off. So I
17
came in for the overtime on Friday. If I'm on
18
Friday and Saturday, then I would be ops.
19
That's what I'm thinking.
20
MR.
: Did you work on Saturday?
21
MR.
: Saturday I was off.
22
MR.
: Okay. So you're not on
23
that list that I just gave you for Saturday?
24
MR.
: No. I should be on day
25
watch.
EFTA00111008
1
MR.
: Okay.
2
MR.
: This the day Epstein died
3
right?
4
MR.
: Yes.
5
MR.
: Yeah. I wasn't there that
6
day.
7
MR.
: Okay. But you just can't
8
remember if you worked until 2:00 p.m. or 4:00
9
p.m. on August 9th.
10
MR.
: No.
11
MR.
: Again there's no reason
12
that I'm asking you this specifically right
13
now. It's just to try to make sure we know
14
what time you worked there.
15
MR.
: Well you trying to see if
16
there's a pattern of -.
17
MR.
: no-no-no. Not a pattern.
18
It's not looking at you. It's just to - you
19
know when we talk to people, we say like what
20
time were you there from. Just because in
21
knowing that
didn't start until -
22
because there's no reason for us at this point
23
to get your time and attendance records.
24
Because again we're just talking to everybody
25
that was there on each day.
EFTA00111009
1
MR.
: Mm-hm.
2
MR.
: I'm just trying to -.
3
When we talk to you, we just need to lock down
4
each person. What time were you there until?
5
MR.
: I don't know.
6
MR.
: We have specific questions
7
about what happened during the day. But if
8
you're not there during the day during that
9
specific time -.
10
MR.
: Some questions might not
11
apply to you.
12
MR.
: Apply to you. That's what
13
we're trying to figure out. So what time were
14
you there until.
15
MR.
: I mean so you want to ask me
16
questions up until 4:00 is what you're saying?
17
MR.
: We'll ask you
18
specifically questions -.
19
MR.
: Well you can do it but if I
20
don' remember I just say I don't remember.
21
MR.
: Yeah. That's fine. You
22
just don't. but at this point you just don't
23
know if you were there until 4:00.
24
MR.
: No.
25
MR.
: Um and you don't remember
EFTA00111010
1
relieving
. Or
relieving you.
2
MR.
: no.
3
MR.
: And do you remember being
4
relieved by anyone?
5
MR.
: no.
6
MR.
: No? All right. But I
7
guess then that goes back to my original
8
question. Do you need to be relieved by
9
someone in order to leave?
10
MR.
: Um normally. It depends.
11
MR.
: Can there be just an ops
12
lieutenant and no activities' lieutenant on
13
during the day?
14
MR.
: Yeah. That could be any day.
15
MR.
: Okay.
16
MR.
: Yeah.
17
MR.
: So it's just - there's
18
no-. these are genuine questions. We don't
19
know the answers to these. So that's not like
20
abnormal to have like just like a two-hour gap
21
where there's no activities' lieutenant?
22
MR.
: No. We was going a lot of
23
work up until this. We were doing a lot of
24
work. So some days you'll be there. I'm quite
25
sure looking at the records, you'll see my name
EFTA00111011
1
by itself.
2
MR.
:
Right.
3
MR.
: So.
4
MR.
: On some days there was
5
just like one activity or one ops lieutenant?
6
There was nobody -?
7
MR.
: Yeah.
8
MR.
: Okay. And that was
9
Monday through Friday? Not just on weekends?
10
MR.
: Any day.
11
MR.
: Or night shifts? Or
12
morning?
13
MR.
: Any days. It was a busy time
14
back then.
15
MR.
:
Yes. Um. Okay. Do you
16
know at that time who was your supervisor?
17
MR.
:
Uh the captain. Captain
18
19
MR.
: Okay. And as the
20
activities' lieutenant, and you said it was day
21
watch?
22
MR.
:
Yeah.
23
MR.
:
What were your duties and
24
responsibilities?
25
MR.
: Rounds um orderly
EFTA00111012
1
institution. Running the institution.
2
MR.
: And what does a round
3
consist of as a lieutenant?
4
MR.
: Going up to the unit.
5
Speaking to the officer. If you want, go to
6
unit team. Do the tiers. See what's going on.
7
MR.
: Now at that time, did
8
lieutenant -? When you say go do tiers. Were
9
Lieutenants responsible for conducting rounds
10
of inmates as well? Like you know walking up
11
and down the tiers to make sure?
12
MR.
: Something like that. I mean
13
that's - are we - the lieutenants responsible
14
for that?
15
MR.
: Yeah. I know that that's
16
the CO's primary responsibility. But when you
17
are conducting a round in like a unit,
18
specifically we'll talk about the SHU. If you
19
visit the SHU, and on this date, there was no
20
SHU lieutenant. Correct?
21
MR.
: No.
22
MR.
: So if you were visiting
23
the SHU, are you responsible to conduct any
24
rounds of the tiers as a lieutenant?
25
MR.
: Yeah. The lieutenant has to
EFTA00111013
1
make a round in SHU each shift.
2
MR.
: So when I say - but when
3
you visit the SHU, is it just visiting the SHU?
4
Checking in with the officers? Or do you - I
5
mean - checking in with the COs or is it
6
actually also doing a round of - where the
7
inmates are located and looking in their cells?
8
MR.
: I mean yeah, you're supposed
9
to do a round.
10
MR.
: Okay. So that -.
11
MR.
: You mean exactly what do you
12
supposed to specifically do?
13
MR.
: Yeah. I guess what I'm
14
asking is what does a lieutenant round in the
15
SHU consist of?
16
MR.
: I don't know. I know for me,
17
I used to like to go down the tiers.
18
MR.
: To actually check on the
19
inmates.
20
MR.
: Yeah.
21
MR.
: So you're actually doing
22
-?
23
MR.
: Do a whole complete round.
24
MR.
: So you're actually doing
25
a round of the inmates not just doing a round
EFTA00111014
27
1
in the SHU to say hey are you guys good with
2
the officers.
3
MR.
: Nah. Unless something
4
happens. Like if something happens you know.
5
They just say you all right - it was a BA. All
6
right. I'll be back or something like that.
7
But.
8
MR.
: Right-right. You mean if
9
you got called out or something like that - you
10
needed the run.
11
MR.
: That or they call you.
12
MR.
: Right.
13
MR.
: Something specific to a
14
specific tale or -.
15
MR.
: Yeah-yeah. But were you
16
responsible - and this is just in general not
17
just specifically you? It's any lieutenant.
18
If there's no SHU lieutenant responsible to do
19
a round on day watch of the inmates when they
20
visit the SHU.
21
MR.
: I'm not sure.
22
MR.
: You're not sure. But you
23
did.
24
MR.
: That day?
25
MR.
: No I mean just in
EFTA00111015
28
1
general. Like when you would visit the SHU you
2
would do that?
3
MR.
: Yeah. Say like if I fill in
4
or whatever. And there's no SHU lieutenant to
5
say hey you got to make a round. All right.
6
Or you have activities do it or whatever.
7
MR.
: So ops lieutenant tells
8
you to do the round?
9
MR.
: Anyone could say hey I'm
10
going up there or hey I got the round or
11
whatever.
12
MR.
: Does a lieutenant have to
13
do a round on that shift?
14
MR.
: That would be yeah you have
15
to do a round.
16
MR.
: Okay. So at least one
17
lieutenant on day watch on August 9, 2019, had
18
to do a round in the SHU of the inmates?
19
MR.
: On day watch?
20
MR.
: Yeah.
21
MR.
: Uh yeah.
22
MR.
: What about night watch
23
and morning watch? Do they have to do it on
24
those?
25
MR.
: Night watch and morning watch
EFTA00111016
1
yeah.
2
MR.
:
So every shift a
3
lieutenant has to -.
4
MR.
: Three shifts you got to do a
5
round.
6
MR.
: And that -?
7
MR.
: Supposed to do a round.
8
MR.
: And that's with the
9
inmates not just checking in?
10
MR.
: I'm not sure.
11
MR.
: Oh you're not sure. But
12
you would? When you did it?
13
MR.
: I'm on (Indiscernible *
14
*00:19:51). I'm trying to move around.
15
like to hit the tiers.
16
MR.
: Okay. Cool. Do you remember
17
who you replaced on that day?
18
MR.
: Who I relieved?
19
MR.
:
Yeah.
20
MR.
: Who I relieved?
21
MR.
:
Who relieved -?
22
MR.
: Nobody.
23
MR.
:
So because there's no
24
activities' lieutenant prior to you?
25
MR.
: No.
EFTA00111017
30
1
MR.
: And that's because yeah
2
there's only - for the morning watch is there
3
only an ops lieutenant?
4
MR.
: Yep.
5
MR.
: So you were the first one
6
in on that day? And you said you arrived when?
7
MR.
: Um 6:00.
8
MR.
: 6:00 a.m. Okay. And you
9
said you just don't recall who replaced you or
10
if you stayed until 4:00. Correct?
11
MR.
: Yeah. Did you look at the
12
video?
13
MR.
: We didn't - haven't had a
14
reason to yet. I just assumed you would have
15
remembered.
16
MR.
: No. I don't remember.
17
MR.
: Okay.
18
MR.
: It was '19.
19
MR.
: Yeah-yeah-yeah. No just
20
because of the - you know this was probably one
21
of the biggest things that's ever happened.
22
MR.
: Yeah but that's why I'm like
23
why are they asking about it now? That's why
24
I'm like -.
25
MR.
: Yeah. I mean now is just
EFTA00111018
31
1
because there's things that have happened in
2
the past month that now is creating a --
3
MR.
: Oh with the case.
4
MR.
: Yeah. That we now have
5
to interview a ton of people to be able to find
6
out who was there, what happened, and all that
7
kind of stuff.
8
MR.
: Yeah. But I'm not sure about
9
the time on that.
10
MR.
: All right. And are you
11
familiar with Jeffrey Epstein?
12
MR.
: Yeah.
13
MR.
: Did you ever work or
14
visit the SHU while Epstein was assigned to the
15
SHU in July and August 2019?
16
MR.
: Probably yeah.
17
MR.
: Did Epstein have a
18
cellmate when he was in the SHU?
19
MR.
: Up until that day, right?
20
MR.
: Yes. And do you know if
21
there was a reason why Epstein was assigned a
22
cellmate?
23
MR.
: In SHU you're supposed to be
24
double bunked.
25
MR.
: Okay. So -.
EFTA00111019
32
1
MR.
: Even if you don't have the
2
whole prior thing before.
3
MR.
: So everybody in the SHU
4
is supposed to be?
5
MR.
: Not everybody. But you got
6
certain cases. But he was supposed to have a
7
bunk.
8
MR.
: So as far as who would -
9
who wouldn't be assigned a cellmate?
10
MR.
: House alone, rec alone
11
inmates. You know hunger strike inmates,
12
NPOs...
13
MR.
: But Epstein was one of
14
those inmates that should have had a cellmate?
15
MR.
: Yeah. He was a regular
16
inmate. Yeah.
17
MR.
: Okay. Um are you aware
18
that Epstein had attempted to commit suicide on
19
July 23, 2019?
20
MR.
: Yeah.
21
MR.
: And were you one of the
22
responding officers to that?
23
MR.
: No.
24
MR.
: Were you - did you have
25
any involvement with it?
EFTA00111020
1
MR.
: That incident? No.
2
MR.
: No. Do you know what
3
transpired?
4
MR.
: They say he put something
5
around his neck. In his cell. And that was
6
it.
7
MR.
: Did you ever hear any
8
rumors that his cell mate may have tried to
9
harm him?
10
MR.
: Oh yeah. You're talking
11
about um -. Yeah. I heard about that. Yeah.
12
MR.
: What did you hear about
13
that?
14
MR.
: That it was a ploy for him to
15
get (Indiscernible *00:22:43). Something like
16
that.
17
MR.
: All right. So did you -?
18
Is your understanding that he actually did try
19
to harm himself? Or was it your understanding
20
that his cell mate tried to harm him?
21
MR.
: You're talking about the
22
rumor?
23
MR.
: Yeah. What is your
24
understanding of --
25
MR.
: The rumor was the guy --
EFTA00111021
1
MR.
: -- what actually -?
2
MR.
: -- also had a high-profile
3
case.
4
MR.
: Okay.
5
MR.
: And I think Epstein was up
6
for a bail hearing. So they made it look like
7
he was doing that in order to get better.
8
MR.
: Okay.
9
MR.
:
Yeah.
10
MR.
:
Do you think there was
11
any legitimacy to the rumor?
12
MR.
: I don't know. Not after
13
this. Nah.
14
MR.
:
No.
15
MR.
: No.
16
MR.
: All right. So do you
17
believe that he did actually try to harm
18
himself on July 23rd?
19
MR.
:
Yeah.
20
MR.
: Okay. Um do you know as
21
a result of July 23rd if Epstein - if anything
22
happened with Epstein? Was he removed from the
23
SHU and placed anywhere else?
24
MR.
Mm. He went to suicide
25
watch.
EFTA00111022
35
1
MR.
: Okay. And what happens
2
on suicide watch? Is that outside of the SHU?
3
MR.
: Yeah.
4
MR.
: And then after you get
5
placed on suicide watch. Is that a temporary
6
thing and then you get moved over to psych
7
observation?
8
MR.
: Not all the time. No.
9
That's up to psych. Psych makes that call.
10
MR.
: Do you - are you aware if
11
Epstein was outside of the SHU and on suicide
12
watch or psych observation for approximately
13
one week?
14
MR.
: I know he was definitely on
15
there. Because I remember seeing him.
16
MR.
: You saw him there?
17
MR.
: Yeah.
18
MR.
: Um is that because you
19
were doing rounds? Or why did you see him
20
there?
21
MR.
: I had to - because I'm the
22
one who does the showers.
23
MR.
: Okay.
24
MR.
: For suicide inmates. On
25
psych watch if you're down there. So he was
EFTA00111023
36
1
down there one day - probably a couple days.
2
But I know I took him to the shower one time.
3
Yeah.
4
MR.
: Okay. So you had some
5
interaction with him.
6
MR.
:
Yeah.
7
MR.
:
While he was in suicide
8
watch.
9
MR.
: Suicide watch. Yeah.
10
MR.
: Okay. And I just thought
11
- I thought you were only on suicide watch for
12
like 24 hours. And then after that it was
13
called psych observation. Is that not your
14
understanding?
15
MR.
: It's up to psych.
16
MR.
: Okay.
17
MR.
: That's a psych call.
18
MR.
: But is it in the same -
19
they're in the same location. Correct?
20
MR.
:
Yeah but people who are on
21
suicide watch longer than 24 hours.
22
MR.
: Okay.
23
MR.
:
Yeah.
24
MR.
:
So your understanding the
25
whole time he was there it was called suicide
EFTA00111024
1
watch?
2
MR.
: I don't remember.
3
MR.
: Okay.
4
MR.
: The whole time he was there.
5
MR.
: Um do you know when he
6
was removed from suicide watch?
7
MR.
: No.
8
MR.
: Do you know why he was
9
removed from suicide watch?
10
MR.
: He would be moved because
11
psych said it's okay.
12
MR.
: Okay. And when someone
13
is on suicide watch, what does it entail?
14
MR.
: You have a suicide smock.
15
Suicide mattress. And a suicide blanket. And
16
you allow pretty much no items unless they
17
approved it, they supposed to have.
18
MR.
: Okay. And what's the
19
difference? What is the difference between
20
psych observation? What does that entail?
21
MR.
: You got the clothes.
22
MR.
: All right. So when
23
you're on suicide watch, you don't have
24
clothes?
25
MR.
: Naked.
EFTA00111025
38
1
MR.
: You're naked the whole
2
time? And you know if Epstein was naked that
3
whole time?
4
MR.
: He had a smock and a -.
5
Yeah. He didn't have no clothes.
6
MR.
: He didn't have clothes
7
when he was on suicide watch?
8
MR.
: You can't have clothes on
9
suicide watch.
10
MR.
: Okay. All right. So
11
does it sound right that he would have been
12
removed about a week later around July 30th.
13
Does that sound like a date --
14
MR.
: I don't know.
15
MR.
: -- or you're not sure?
16
MR.
: Mm-hm.
17
MR.
: Okay. Did you ever
18
receive any instructions from anyone with
19
regard to Epstein being assigned a cellmate
20
after he came back from suicide watch?
21
MR.
: I'm not sure.
22
MR.
: You don't remember any
23
verbal conversations or anything like that?
24
MR.
: No.
25
MR.
: All right. I'm going to
EFTA00111026
39
1
show you an email. And then you can tell me if
2
you remember receiving it. An email from a
3
Do you know who that is?
4
MR.
: Yeah.
5
MR.
: All right. It's to
6
Suicide Watch / Psych Observation Update. And
7
that's also what the subject is. And it's from
8
July 30, 2019. It says, "Inmate Epstein" and
9
it gives his reg number. "Is being taken off
10
of psych observation and needs to be housed
11
with an appropriate cellmate." Do you recall
12
receiving -?
13
MR.
: Yeah. It's a generic. We
14
always get those.
15
MR.
: You get those?
16
MR.
: Yeah.
17
MR.
: There's names on the
18
back. It shows that you were one of them and
19
that you read it. Do you see your name? Yeah.
20
It would be under J. So. It's all
21
alphabetical.
22
MR.
: It's under what?
23
MR.
: It would be your first
24
MR.
: Oh, okay. Yeah.
25
MR.
: So does that ring a bell?
EFTA00111027
1
Do you remember getting that?
2
MR.
: Yeah.
3
MR.
: Okay. Cool. And then do
4
you recall -? So you are aware that he needed
5
a cellmate then. Correct? You already said
6
that you knew he needed one because he was a
7
regular inmate. Right?
8
MR.
: Yeah. But I don't know what
9
this is at 12:30 the 30th right?
10
MR.
: Yeah 7:30 - so yeah.
11
MR.
: Oh it was 7:30 July 30th?
12
So he got off on July 30th?
13
MR.
: Correct.
14
MR.
: Okay.
15
MR.
: Placed back in the SHU
16
and required a cellmate.
17
MR.
: Okay.
18
MR.
: And just before we
19
forget. Do you mind just initialing and dating
20
each one of these documents just so that they
21
don't start piling up? And as well as that
22
email. Thank you, sir. Now do you remember
23
having any conversations with anyone else like
24
verbal. Like
or anybody regarding the
25
need for him to have a cellmate?
EFTA00111028
41
1
MR.
: No.
2
MR.
: Because, I'm assuming, he
3
was the most high-profile if not one of the
4
most high-profile inmates at the time.
5
Correct?
6
MR.
:
Yeah.
7
MR.
:
So would that be
8
something that they would - people would
9
usually communicate with the activities and the
10
ops lieutenant about?
11
MR.
: I mean if you got the email.
12
MR.
: Okay.
13
MR.
:
Yeah.
14
MR.
:
You got a follow-up that
15
you wanted to ask something?
16
MR.
:
We'll finish up on this.
17
Because it's going back one.
18
MR.
:
No-no. Please. Go
19
ahead.
20
MR.
: So you mentioned that you had
21
interacted with Epstein when he was on suicide
22
watch. You took him for his showers.
23
MR.
:
Yeah.
24
MR.
: How was the interactions with
25
him?
EFTA00111029
42
1
MR.
: You know, cuff up, take him
2
to the shower.
3
MR.
: Did you ever talk to him?
4
MR.
: Yeah.
5
MR.
: Was he pleasant? Were there
6
any issues with that?
7
MR.
: He was saying hey, while I'm
8
down here, pretty much he asked why he was down
9
here. I said well, he was like yeah, I'm not
10
suicidal, such-and-such. And you know let me
11
talk to psych so I could get off this. I don't
12
think he liked it.
13
MR.
: This was immediately after
14
the July 23rd?
15
MR.
: I don't know exactly what day
16
it was. But you know it was around there.
17
MR.
: Got it.
18
MR.
: We're going to follow-up
19
with some of those more lines of questioning
20
later on in the interview. Um so you don't
21
recall though receiving specific instructions
22
from Captain
or anyone else with regard
23
to Epstein? You just - you do know he needed
24
one and you did get the email?
25
MR.
: These come all the time. Any
EFTA00111030
43
1
inmate comes off of watch, they send it out.
2
MR.
: And should everyone know
3
if someone comes off of watch that they are
4
required to have a cellmate?
5
MR.
: I'm not sure. I mean that's
6
what they do. They come out. Anyone comes off
7
suicide watch, you put them in with a cellmate.
8
MR.
: Yeah. And that's pretty
9
general, common knowledge. Correct? And where
10
do you learn that? Is that from your daily
11
operations? Or do you learn that in training
12
as well?
13
MR.
: I don't know. I guess it's
14
daily operations.
15
MR.
: Okay. But most people
16
should know that a person coming off of suicide
17
watch is required to have a cellmate.
18
MR.
: Uh I mean it depends. I
19
don't know. I know we get these emails though.
20
They send them out any time an inmate comes
21
off. You try to put them with a cellmate. But
22
then again like I said in the SHU, it's you
23
know. Because even if they come off suicide
24
watch, they don't -. Say like they come off
25
they stay in SHU for a year. They have to have
EFTA00111031
44
1
a cellmate for a year. You understand what I'm
2
saying? So as far as the notice we get, but do
3
everyone know that? I'm not sure about that.
4
MR.
: But you knew.
5
MR.
: Yeah.
6
MR.
: How did you know though?
7
MR.
: I got the email.
8
MR.
: Okay. So, your knowledge
9
is from the email, but earlier, you said that
10
anybody in the SHU, anyway, needs to a cell
11
mate?
12
MR.
: Yeah.
13
MR.
: All right. So, he had
14
basically two requirements to him. One, there
15
was the email that he received; also, the fact
16
that he was in the SHU, and he didn't have any
17
of those special requirements, like, he was
18
going to harm someone else, or something like
19
that, that he should have had a cellmate?
20
MR.
: Right.
21
MR.
: All right. And do you
22
know if you ever communicated that to anybody,
23
when you visited the SHU in July or August of
24
2019?
25
MR.
Hmm. I'm not sure.
EFTA00111032
45
1
MR.
: Like, the people that
2
worked in the SHU, would have you would have
3
been as the activities' lieutenant, if you're
4
doing a round in there. Is that something that
5
you would address?
6
MR.
: Bring up? Yeah. If I - yeah
7
- but if he had a - one - if he had a cellmate,
8
though.
9
MR.
: Right.
10
MR.
: Yeah. Bring something up if
11
they didn't. Uh-huh.
12
MR.
: So, you'd only bring it
13
up if you knew he didn't have one?
14
MR.
: So, like, if you say, hey,
15
guys, how many single cells I have? Such and
16
such. Hey, what's going on? Hey, well, this is
17
the reason. Yeah.
18
MR.
: And is that something -
19
when you would visit the SHU - is that
20
something you would ask? How many single cells
21
do you have?
22
MR.
: Yeah.
23
MR.
: Is that a like one of the
24
check-the-box things? Does everybody that
25
visits the SHU
EFTA00111033
46
1
MR.
: I can't speak for everybody.
2
But I know, even as OIC, we said, hey, you know
3
the fine, we have single cells. Maneuver to
4
condense it for space. Stuff like that.
5
MR.
: Okay.
6
MR.
: So, I don't know if everyone
7
(Indiscernible *00:32:18) into it.
8
MR.
: But that's what you would
9
do? When you were the activities' lieutenant?
10
MR.
: No. Sometimes.
11
MR.
: Okay.
12
MR.
: If I seen someone without,
13
hey, what's going on with this dude? Well, he's
14
housed (Indiscernible *00:32:28) room.
15
MR.
: Okay.
16
MR.
: Okay.
17
MR.
: But when you would visit
18
the SHU, was that something you would address,
19
saying how many single cells do we got?
20
MR.
: I'm not the SHU lieutenant.
21
MR.
: Oh, only if you're the
22
SHU lieutenant?
23
MR.
: Yeah.
24
MR.
: I'm talking about --
25
MR.
: The SHU lieutenant --
EFTA00111034
1
MR.
: -- when you do your
2
rounds.
3
MR.
: -- you do the rounds, you
4
only say it if you know that someone got - a
5
new come in. Okay, you got space for him. No.
6
Right now, we've got to put him in a single
7
cell, or something like that.
8
MR.
: Okay. And were you ever
9
the SHU lieutenant?
10
MR.
: At MCC?
11
MR.
: Yeah.
12
MR.
: I don't think so. I was
13
never SHU lieutenant.
14
MR.
: Okay. But do you
15
remember ever having any conversations with
16
anyone in the SHU --
17
MR.
: No.
18
MR.
: -- at the MCC about
19
Epstein and his cellmate requirement?
20
MR.
: No.
21
MR.
: No? All right. So,
22
referring to the duty assignment roster, who
23
were the MCC's supervisor on duty, with
24
responsibility for overseeing the SHU on August
25
9, 2019, when you were working?
EFTA00111035
48
1
MR.
: It would be me and
2
MR.
: So, the two of you would
3
be responsible?
4
MR.
: On day watch. Yeah.
5
MR.
: Okay. And then, would it
6
be the same thing for the shift after you?
7
Would that be the activities' lieutenant and
8
the ops lieutenant?
9
MR.
: Yeah.
10
MR.
: And is that because, when
11
the SHU lieutenant is not there, activities'
12
lieutenant and ops lieutenant always have
13
oversight of the SHU?
14
MR.
: Well, I told you we have to
15
make a round.
16
MR.
: Right.
17
MR.
: In SHU. Yeah.
18
MR.
: But that would be the
19
lieutenants - they would be the lieutenants
20
that would have oversight over the SHU,
21
correct?
22
MR.
: Yeah. Pretty much.
23
MR.
: Okay. On August 9th,
24
what communications did you have with any of
25
the other lieutenants with regard to Epstein
EFTA00111036
49
1
being housed with the MCC, or the MCC SHU? Can
2
you recall?
3
MR.
: No.
4
MR.
: And again, thinking back,
5
this is like one of the biggest things that's
6
ever happened when you were there, this guy
7
dies. Can you remember any conversations you
8
had the day before, with anyone, with regards
9
to Epstein?
10
MR.
: I just know that he used to
11
come legal all the time.
12
MR.
: Yeah.
13
MR.
: Attorney conference, pretty
14
much the whole day.
15
MR.
: Right.
16
MR.
: And that's about it.
17
MR.
: And about what time would
18
he be moved to attorney conference?
19
MR.
: Early. Like, probably 8:00
20
in the morning.
21
MR.
: And who would be the
22
person that would move him there?
23
MR.
: The SHU staff. Get him out
24
the SHU.
25
MR.
: Okay.
EFTA00111037
1
MR.
:
He was in SHU.
2
MR.
: And what would the - as
3
the activities' lieutenant, did you visit him
4
at all in attorney conference, or check on him?
5
Is that part of your round process?
6
MR.
: It's not part of the rounds,
7
but if you see him in there, if you standing by
8
the elevators or something like that, yeah.
9
MR.
: Okay.
10
MR.
: But you're not - you don't
11
have to check. No.
12
MR.
: All right. Did anyone
13
ever provide you with special instructions,
14
with regards to Epstein?
15
MR.
: Special instructions?
16
MR.
:
Yeah.
17
MR.
: Like? Something - no.
18
MR.
:
No?
19
MR.
:
With special instructions?
20
Like -?
21
MR.
:
Like, conversations with
22
Epstein, hey, make sure you do this. Just
23
Epstein, make sure this is going - you know?
24
guess specific instructions. Maybe "special"
25
isn't the right word --
EFTA00111038
1
MR.
: No.
2
MR.
: -- but did anyone ever
3
specifically say, you know, this is Epstein,
4
we've got to make sure we're doing this?
5
MR.
: Hmm-mm. No. Not that I
6
recall.
7
MR.
: No? Did any lieutenants
8
ever talk to you about Epstein's requirement to
9
have a cellmate?
10
MR.
Hmm-mm. I mean, it's not -.
11
Like I said, we've got the email.
12
MR.
: Right.
13
MR.
: There's no one saying, hey,
14
by the way, (Indiscernible *00:36:07), and
15
didn't he have a cellmate up until then? I
16
think he had a cellmate since he got on the
17
suicide watch. So, I don't think there was a
18
lapse in it.
19
MR.
: Right.
20
MR.
: Yeah.
21
MR.
: So, what about up until
22
then? You're saying, so --
23
MR.
: Right. Yeah. The cellmate,
24
right?
25
MR.
: -- so, what is your
EFTA00111039
1
understanding of what happened --
2
MR.
: What happened?
3
MR.
: -- on August 9th?
4
MR.
: His cellmate went to court,
5
and either went to transferred, or got
6
released, or something. And never came back.
7
And then, you know, that night, he went out, he
8
went without a cellmate.
9
MR.
: Okay.
10
MR.
: Yeah.
11
MR.
: So, we'll get into that.
12
I'll ask you a couple more questions, then,
13
just to make sure we stay on kind of page, at
14
the bottom of this page, you see, we're going
15
to start talking about that inmate. And I'll
16
just - what you knew about that. You said the
17
lieutenants are responsible for conducting
18
rounds. Are they responsible for conducting
19
counts in the SHU?
20
MR.
: No.
21
MR.
: No? So, like, just
22
around, nothing to do with counts when you were
23
-?
24
MR.
: Count is for officers.
25
MR.
: Okay. And you don't need
EFTA00111040
53
1
to oversee them as the lieutenant, or anything
2
like that?
3
MR.
: You could take a count, but
4
usually, you're doing patrol, you're not doing
5
the count with the officers.
6
MR.
: Right. So, in physically
7
presence in the SHU, the only time that the
8
lieutenant is involved is actually with rounds,
9
not with counts?
10
MR.
: Not with counts.
11
MR.
: Okay. And did you
12
conduct any rounds in the SHU, on August 9,
13
2019?
14
MR.
: I'm not sure. I can't
15
recall.
16
MR.
: You don't remember?
17
Again, you're placing yourself back on one of
18
the biggest incidences, and you know all this
19
circus that's been going on since that time.
20
MR.
: Yeah, I know.
21
MR.
: So, you can't really put
22
yourself back on that day of, like, hey, what
23
was my involvement with this, and did I -?
24
MR.
: No. No. I had no
25
involvement with this.
EFTA00111041
54
1
MR.
:
Well, that's what I mean,
2
but you --
3
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
4
MR.
: -- were the activities'
5
lieutenant, you know, on the, you know, the day
6
before.
7
MR.
:
Yeah.
8
MR.
: And specifically, like
9
you just said, on the day before, when his
10
cellmate was removed.
11
MR.
:
Yeah.
12
MR.
:
So, you can't remember?
13
MR.
: If I did a round, then no.
14
MR.
: Okay. So, you can't -.
15
Then, do you remember having any conversations
16
with any of the people listed in there, on your
17
shift, in the SHU? On that date, specifically
18
with regard to Epstein, or Reyes, his cellmate.
19
MR.
: No.
20
MR.
: All right. And it'll be,
21
like, a
22
Michael Thomas, Tova Noel,
23
. None of those
24
people?
25
MR.
: No.
EFTA00111042
55
1
MR.
: Okay. So, you didn't
2
speak to any of those people about Epstein
3
being required to have a celimate since his
4
celimate was gone?
5
MR.
: You're talking about that
6
day?
7
MR.
: Yeah.
8
MR.
: Or you're just saying --
9
MR.
: On the day that --
10
MR.
I can't remember.
11
MR.
: -- okay. All right. The
12
people that are in the SHU, are they
13
responsible for conducting counts and round
14
during their shift?
15
MR.
: Yes.
16
MR.
: As far as the shift that
17
you worked, on day watch, what is your
18
understanding of how many rounds and counts
19
they should have done?
20
MR.
: There's no counts on day
21
watch.
22
MR.
: Okay. What about the
23
rounds?
24
MR.
: The rounds, every - you're
25
doing a certain shift, we go about. So, you do
EFTA00111043
56
1
one, say, like, 8:00 to 8:30, you do one. 8:30
2
to 9:00, you do one.
3
MR.
: So, every 30 minutes?
4
MR.
: Every 30 minutes.
Not to
5
exceed 40 minutes. They're regular rounds.
6
MR.
: Okay. And you're
7
supposed to do one of those rounds with them,
8
but you can't recall whether you did or not?
9
MR.
: No. We're not supposed to do
10
rounds with them. No.
11
MR.
: You're supposed to just
12
do your own round?
13
MR.
: Yeah.
14
MR.
: Okay.
15
MR.
: Do our round in SHU.
16
MR.
: And can you recall if you
17
did your round in SHU?
18
MR.
: No, I can't.
19
MR.
: You can't recall? Would
20
it be abnormal if you didn't?
21
MR.
: I can't recall.
22
MR.
: You can't recall if it
23
would be abnormal if you didn't?
24
MR.
: If I didn't do the round?
25
MR.
: Right.
EFTA00111044
57
1
MR.
: Would it be abnormal? I mean,
2
I'm not the SHU lieutenant. That's what I'm
3
saying.
4
MR.
: But there's no SHU
5
lieutenant, you said, that, you know, you or
6
would be responsible. So, I'm saying,
7
would it be abnormal if you didn't do it? So,
8
would you normally have done it? I know you
9
said you're responsible for it.
10
MR.
: No. The lieutenants are
11
responsible, but if a Monday through Friday, if
12
a SHU lieutenant is there, there's no reason
13
for me to go up there.
14
MR.
: But there's no SHU
15
lieutenant.
16
MR.
: Right. So, but I don't
17
recall if I did a round or not. No.
18
MR.
: Okay. But the last
19
question wasn't that. I'm saying, would it
20
have been abnormal if you didn't do one? I know
21
you can't recall it --
22
MR.
: Yeah.
23
MR.
but would you normally
24
have done it, if there's no SHU lieutenant?
25
MR.
: Yeah.
EFTA00111045
1
MR.
:
Yeah? So, knowing
2
yourself, you probably would -.
3
MR.
: If there's no SHU lieutenant,
4
yeah.
5
MR.
: Okay.
6
MR.
: Okay.
7
MR.
:
When did you become aware
8
that inmate Reyes was removed from the MCC on
9
August 9, 2019?
10
MR.
: I don't know.
11
MR.
:
What is -.
12
MR.
: The only thing I heard is, I
13
know, I woke up, they're saying, I saw the
14
story.
15
MR.
:
What is your involvement,
16
as the activities' lieutenant that day, with
17
inmates who are going to court?
18
MR.
: I didn't have no involvement.
19
MR.
:
So, the activities
20
MR.
: (Indiscernible *00:41:32).
21
MR.
: -- lieutenant is not
22
involved?
23
MR.
: No.
24
MR.
: Is the ops lieutenant
25
involved?
EFTA00111046
1
MR.
: Not really, no.
2
MR.
:
So, who is involved? Who
3
-?
4
MR.
: R&D. Receive and Discharge.
5
MR.
: Okay. And do you
6
remember who was working in R&D that day, in
7
that morning?
8
MR.
: No.
9
MR.
: Are you able to tell by
10
looking at that --
11
MR.
: No.
12
MR.
: -- sheet? How does that
13
work? How do you find out who was in R&D for
14
that day? On that morning.
15
MR.
: That's the custody roster.
16
I'm not sure.
17
MR.
:
So, that's a different
18
roster?
19
MR.
:
Yeah.
20
MR.
:
What would that roster be
21
called?
22
MR.
: I don't know.
23
MR.
:
You're not sure?
24
MR.
: That's not our department.
25
MR.
: Okay. So, did they come
EFTA00111047
60
1
and retrieve those individuals from the SHU, or
2
does the SHU staff bring them to R&D?
3
MR.
: It depends. If it's busy,
4
you say, hey, I need help, they go up and help
5
you out. If not, the SHU crew, all right, take
6
them down.
7
MR.
: So, if it were at a non-
8
busy traditional way, who would have been the
9
people on that roster?
10
MR.
: The SHU crew.
11
MR.
: And who on that day?
12
MR.
: You mean, for the court
13
movements?
14
MR.
: Yeah. Like, what time?
15
First of all, I guess I should say.
16
MR.
: It depends - that's what I'm
17
saying - so, it depends on if they're going to
18
Brooklyn, or wherever, you start early at 6:00.
19
So, that would morning watch or day watch.
20
MR.
: So, it would be one or
21
the other? And does not - let's say if it was
22
8:00 a.m., who would have it been?
23
MR.
: The day watch crew.
24
MR.
: And who was on day watch
25
that day?
EFTA00111048
1
MR.
: Hmm.
-.
2
3
MR.
: And anybody - any of
4
those people - do you remember speaking about
5
Reyes?
6
MR.
: No.
7
MR.
: All right. And who was
8
the OIC? Who was the officer-in-charge, out of
9
that crew?
10
MR.
: Hmm.
11
MR. -:
was? Not
12
MR.
: According to this, it was
13
14
MR.
: Okay. So, on the
15
document, it's
All right. I'm going
16
to show you a memo that was written by
17
on August 12, 2019. And it's the subject is,
18
"Pass information from Special Housing Unit."
19
It says, "On Friday, August 9, 2019, at
20
approximately 1:50 p.m., I, SIS
21
passed on to oncoming staff, officers
and
22
present shift staff, SIS
, and Officer
23
, that inmate Reyes was going WAB, and
24
possibly may not return. Also, that inmate
25
Epstein will be needing a cellmate upon arrival
EFTA00111049
1
from his attorney visit." So, does that
2
refresh your memory? Did you have any
3
conversations with
4
MR.
: No.
5
MR.
: Who would have made
6
aware that Reyes was going WAB?
7
MR.
: He could see it on the
8
roster. They send a sheet up the night before.
9
MR.
: So, if that's not on the
10
night before, if on the night before, there's
11
no WAB - and this is at 1:50 p.m. that this
12
notification was made note - if there's no WAB
13
Well first of all what's WAB stand for?
14
MR.
: With All Belongings.
15
MR.
: And if WAB is not next to
16
Reyes' name on the night before, the August 8th
17
roster, how would have he become aware at
18
around 1:50? Would normally the court call
19
R&D, and R&D pass that information along?
20
MR.
: R&D could have called him.
21
MR.
: So, would R&D call SHU
22
directly, or would they typically call the ops
23
or activities' lieutenant?
24
MR.
: They call the SHU.
25
MR.
: They do call SHU
EFTA00111050
63
1
directly? They wouldn't call you guys, and you
2
would have to the pass information on?
3
MR.
: No.
4
MR.
: Okay. So, is it your
5
belief, then, that if it's that, in fact, what
6
happened, if Reyes went to court, and then he
7
became WAB? Just tell me, what is your
8
understanding --
9
MR.
: I'm not sure how that one.
10
MR.
: -- of how that would
11
work?
12
MR.
: I'm not sure about that.
13
MR.
: Yeah. I'm not saying,
14
specifically, how he got it. What would be the
15
typical way that would work? If an inmate
16
MR.
: If an inmate -.
17
MR.
: -- goes to work --
18
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
19
MR.
: -- and then is released.
20
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
21
MR.
: How does that process
22
work? Once that inmate is released, what
23
happens from that point, for the court, how do
24
they make the notifications known to the MCC,
25
all the way down to where that inmate was
EFTA00111051
1
housed? Specifically, this one in the SHU.
2
MR.
: R&D. Hey, that guy's not
3
coming back.
4
MR.
: Okay.
5
MR.
: Yeah.
6
MR.
: And then, would they
7
typically say, now WAB, would that be the words
8
that they would use, or would they say, he's
9
not coming back?
10
MR.
: Either/or. The WAB is
11
something that's on the roster.
12
MR.
: Okay. So, is WAB
13
specific to the roster, or is WAS also if he
14
was called and told?
15
MR.
: I'm not sure. I don't know.
16
I've seen it before on the roster. Like, hey,
17
this is the court list. It says WAB.
18
MR.
: Right. And I'm saying --
19
MR.
:
Yeah.
20
MR.
-- in this circumstance,
21
if there is no WAS --
22
MR.
: I'm not sure.
23
MR.
: -- next to Reyes' name
24
MR.
: I'm not sure.
25
MR.
: -- okay. But you didn't
EFTA00111052
1
have any conversations with
2
MR.
: No.
3
MR.
: No? And you seem pretty
4
confident with that. Not like I can't recall.
5
You did not have any conversations with
6
7
MR.
: Yeah, I had no conversations
8
with him.
9
MR.
: What about with
10
Did you have any conversations with
abou -
11
Reyes going WAB or not coming back?
12
MR.
Pfft, I can't recall that,
13
either.
14
MR.
: Did you know that Reyes
15
had left that day for court?
16
MR.
: No.
17
MR.
: So then, therefore, did
18
you not know that he was not coming back?
19
MR.
: No, I didn't know. No.
20
MR.
: Okay. And you don't
21
remember if you actually did a round in the SHU
22
to see that he wasn't there?
23
MR.
: No.
24
MR.
: So, can you recall any
25
conversations you had that day about Reyes?
EFTA00111053
1
MR.
: I don't think I had no
2
conversations about Reyes.
3
MR.
: That's what I'm asking.
4
So, you can't recall any conversations you had
5
that day about Reyes?
6
MR.
: No.
7
MR.
: And you don't think you
8
had any?
9
MR.
: No.
10
MR.
:
No? Okay. All right.
11
We're going to continue with this.
12
MR.
: I've got --
13
MR.
: Go ahead.
14
MR.
: -- so, just to clarification.
15
The night before, how would MCC get to know
16
that Reyes is leaving?
17
MR.
:
Well, like I said, the court
18
list.
19
MR.
: The court list. Who creates
20
it?
21
MR.
: But sometimes, that's not
22
always accurate.
23
MR.
: Who creates that?
24
MR.
: Hmm-mm. I guess R&D.
25
MR.
: And it doesn't show who's in
EFTA00111054
1
R&D over there, right?
2
MR.
: No.
3
MR.
: No. But R&D creates the
4
court list. And what do they do with that
5
court list?
6
MR.
: They send it out to all the
7
units. So, you get one. If you're a unit
8
officer, you'll get it and say, okay, I got
9
three guys leaving, because it says WAB. So,
10
you say, hey, wake up, we're packing up, and
11
leaving.
12
MR.
: They send the whole list, or
13
they just did the email saying, hey, these are
14
the inmates leaving from here?
15
MR.
: Yeah. I've never seen an
16
email. I've just seen the list.
17
MR.
: Okay. And it's just, like, a
18
generic email that goes out to everyone?
19
MR.
: It's a call list.
20
MR.
: But - sorry, I want to
21
make sure that I understood what you just said
22
- is it provided by email, or is it provided by
23
24
MR.
: I've never seen it provided
25
by email.
EFTA00111055
68
1
MR.
: -- so, you've never seen
2
it on email. It's just a list that's provided.
3
So, who - R&D comes and gives it to the SHU?
4
MR.
: No. They send it up.
5
MR.
: So, Internal comes and
6
gets it?
7
MR.
: Internal. Yeah.
8
MR.
: So, on this date, would
9
you know who would have been Internal? Who
10
would have provided that list to the SHU?
11
MR.
: I see who's Internal, but I'm
12
not - I don't know if they would have provided
13
it. We've got two Internals.
14
MR.
: And who are the two
15
Internals?
16
MR. -:
(Phonetic Sp.
17
*00:48:29) and
18
MR. -:
and
19
MR.
: Yeah.
20
MR.
: All right. So, they're
21
the two that typically - you're not saying that
22
they did - but they're typically the people
23
that would have provided the court list?
24
MR.
: Yeah. Internal. That's what
25
they usually do. It could have been a
EFTA00111056
1
sanitation.
2
MR.
: Now, isn't the list
3
typically provided the day before, or is it
4
just created the day before?
5
MR.
: I don't know. I can't -.
6
it provided the day before?
7
MR.
: Yeah.
8
MR.
: It was provided the same day.
9
MR.
: It is?
10
MR.
: You get about - you get the
11
morning watch the day of.
12
MR.
: I was always - I was
13
under the understanding that the night before,
14
on August 8th, they would create the list for
15
the morning, on the August 9th. Do you know --
16
MR.
: Yeah.
17
MR.
: -- was that a correct
18
understanding?
19
MR.
: I'm not sure. All I know is,
20
if you're an officer, you get it the day of.
21
MR.
: All right. So -.
22
MR.
: Because when I was an
23
officer, I used to get it the day of.
24
MR.
: All right. And you've
25
worked in the SHU before?
EFTA00111057
1
MR.
: Yes.
2
MR.
: Okay. So, when you
3
worked in the SHU, it would come in that
4
morning?
5
MR.
:
Yeah.
6
MR.
: Around what time would it
7
arrive?
8
MR.
: About 2:00 in the morning. I
9
know that's early.
10
MR.
: Oh, super early.
11
MR.
:
Yeah.
12
MR.
:
So, it would come in at
13
morning watch.
14
MR.
:
Yeah. Morning watch.
15
MR.
: Okay. And are there
16
people in Internal working at that time, around
17
2:00 a.m.?
18
MR.
: Yeah.
19
MR.
: And is that the same
20
people you just listed?
21
MR.
:
Yeah.
22
MR.
:
So, those morning watch
23
individuals are the ones that would probably
24
have provided the court list?
25
MR.
:
Yeah.
EFTA00111058
71
1
MR.
: And do you know, is that
2
document maintained anywhere? The court list
3
document?
4
MR.
: No.
5
MR.
:
Is that, like, uploaded
6
in any kind of system?
7
MR.
: Not that I know of.
8
MR.
:
No? So, do you know who
9
you said R&D creates it?
10
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
11
MR.
: But they don't create it
12
in a system. They just -.
13
MR.
: I don't know. I mean, that's
14
not my department.
15
MR.
: Okay.
16
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
17
MR.
:
Is there, like, an
18
officer-in-charge of R&D?
19
MR.
:
Yeah. So, you have a CMC.
20
MR.
: And --
21
MR.
: Corrections.
22
MR.
: -- do you know who, in
23
August, would have been that person?
24
MR.
: In August, no. Because I
25
know the CMC was out for a while. And they got
EFTA00111059
72
1
a - they also had a supervisor.
2
MR.
: And do you know who that
3
would be?
4
MR.
: No. But they had a
5
supervisor. I know that's their position, but
6
I don't know who it is.
7
MR.
: And that would be, like,
8
a lieutenant?
9
MR.
: No.
10
MR.
:
Who would -?
11
MR.
: Lieutenant is custody. R&D
12
is non-custody.
13
MR.
: Explain to me what R&D
14
is, and as far as -.
15
MR.
: That's Receiving and
16
Discharge.
17
MR.
:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18
MR.
: So, they deal with the inmate
19
movement, the inmate courts, the transfers, the
20
self-surrenders.
21
MR.
: And you're saying that
22
they're not called lieutenants or anything.
23
What are their titles?
24
MR.
: Correctional systems officer.
25
MR.
: Correctional systems
EFTA00111060
73
1
officers. And, like, a supervisor, would they
2
still be, like -?
3
MR.
: Supervisor correctional
4
systems officer.
5
MR.
: And would that be, like,
6
a nine or an 11 type of --
7
MR.
: Something like that.
8
MR.
: -- position? All right.
9
But they're just outside of, you said custody,
10
underneath -. What is the system that they're
11
underneath?
12
MR.
: It's the non-custody and
13
custody.
14
MR.
: Okay.
15
MR.
: And they have correctional
16
officer, a correctional worker, as opposed to
17
custody is a correctional officer.
18
MR.
: Okay. And who would be -
19
Does the captain also have oversight over
20
them?
21
MR.
: No.
22
MR.
: Who has oversight over
23
them? Non-custody.
24
MR.
: The CMC. They have a
25
supervisor.
EFTA00111061
74
1
MR.
:
What does the CMC mean?
2
MR.
: Correctional Management
3
Coordinator.
4
MR.
: Okay. And that is
5
outside of the captain's purview?
6
MR.
Yup.
7
MR.
: And you don't remember
8
who that was, at that time?
9
MR.
: No.
10
MR.
: Okay. And you said you
11
did not have any conversations at all. So, you
12
didn't have any conversations with
about
13
Reyes?
14
MR.
: No. Not that I remember.
15
No.
16
MR.
:
What about with
17
MR.
: Hmm. No.
18
MR.
:
No? But he would have
19
been - he relieved
20
MR.
: I can't recall.
21
MR.
:
No?
22
MR.
: Hmm-mm.
23
MR.
: And was
, do you
24
remember if you had any kind of interaction
25
with her at all on August 9th?
EFTA00111062
1
MR.
: No.
2
MR.
: No? So, obviously, you
3
can't remember if you had any conversations
4
about Reyes?
5
MR.
: No. I don't remember
6
discussing Reyes.
7
MR.
: Right.
8
MR.
: No.
9
MR.
: So, did you ever receive
10
any call around 1:50, or at any time, saying
11
MR.
: No.
12
MR.
: -- that Reyes was going
13
WAB? No? So, at this point in time, obviously,
14
you're saying you didn't know anything at that
15
point in time. Now, after the fact, what do
16
you know about Reyes being removed from the
17
MMC?
18
MR.
: I just know he went to court,
19
and never came back. And that was it.
20
MR.
: Do you know any
21
information about who was informed that he
22
wasn't coming back?
23
MR.
: No.
24
MR.
: So, even after the fact,
25
you don't know?
EFTA00111063
1
MR.
: No.
2
MR.
:
Do you know anything -.
3
I mean, was it at all discussed about, like,
4
hey, somebody dropped the ball there?
5
MR.
: No.
6
MR.
:
No? There wasn't even a
7
conversation?
8
MR.
: I mean, that's the thing. I
9
don't recall him going - I didn't know he was
10
me personally - didn't know he was going WAB.
11
And I don't think a lot of other people did,
12
either. Yeah.
13
MR.
:
Did anyone ever ask you
14
about that --
15
MR.
: About Reyes?
16
MR.
: -- yeah.
17
MR.
: No.
18
MR.
: Even after?
19
MR.
: No.
20
MR.
:
So, like, on August 10th,
21
August 11th, August 12th, did anyone come up to
22
you and say, hey, did you know Reyes wasn't
23
coming back?
24
MR.
: No.
25
MR.
: And have you ever been
EFTA00111064
1
interviewed for this matter before?
2
MR.
: No.
3
MR.
: No? Did you have
4
conversations with people like
, or
5
, or anyone, regarding this matter,
6
after Epstein was found?
7
MR.
: What matter?
8
MR.
: Epstein being found, and
9
not having a cellmate?
10
MR.
: No.
11
MR.
: No? You never talked to
12
anybody in the institution about that?
13
MR.
: About him not having a
14
cellmate, or are you talking about him being
15
found?
16
MR.
: No. About him not having
17
a cellmate.
18
MR.
: I mean, not in a -. I mean,
19
we sent a, hey, what happened, or, like, what
20
happened to his cellmate? Oh, he got released.
21
Okay. It was - he said it like that, but
22
nothing -. No. Not like that.
23
MR.
: Was it any conversation
24
of, like, hey, why didn't they put a new
25
cellmate with him?
EFTA00111065
1
MR.
: No.
2
MR.
:
No? So, if, at around
3
1:50 -.
4
MR.
: That's what I'm saying.
5
That's the time. That's why I'm looking at
6
you, saying 1:50. Yeah.
7
MR.
:
Yeah. I mean, this is
8
where --
9
MR.
:
Yeah.
10
MR.
:
I'm getting the 1:50,
11
is because --
12
MR.
: Because these guys --
13
MR.
: -- it says
14
MR.
-- they go to court -.
15
MR.
•
knows that,
16
at least by 1:50, he's going WAB.
17
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
18
MR.
:
Should have he
19
communicated with either or
about that?
20
MR.
: I don't know. I don't know
21
how he communicated with.
22
MR.
:
No. I'm not asking who
23
he did. I'm asking you, should have he?
24
MR.
: I mean, I know when I was
25
OIC, and they give us call it, okay. So, if he
EFTA00111066
79
1
didn't say nothing to the lieutenant, I could
2
see why. I mean, you're telling me, I'm the
3
OIC. And okay, I got the notification.
4
MR.
: So -.
5
MR.
: So, if he didn't pass nothing
6
on, it's -.
7
MR.
: Is it abnormal that he
8
didn't pass it on, though? Should have he
9
passed it to you? Because -.
10
MR.
: It's not. It's not -. I
11
mean -.
12
MR.
: Could have he placed
13
another inmate with someone like Epstein?
14
MR.
: I'm not sure because then,
15
again, it says possibly. WABs get cancelled.
16
They get cancelled.
17
MR.
: Sure.
18
MR.
: That's why the 1:50, we don't
19
know until after, like, hey, who is this guy
20
coming back? R&D is open at 8:00, 9:00.
21
MR.
: So, about what time would
22
they normally make that notification that, okay
23
-?
24
MR.
: After 4:00.
25
MR.
: After 4:00?
EFTA00111067
1
MR.
: Yes.
2
MR.
: And is it some - when you
3
say after 4:00 - is it usually between 4:00 and
4
5:00?
5
MR.
: After 4:00. Any time after
6
4:00.
7
MR.
: So, anywhere from 4:00 to
8
5:00, 4:00 to 6:00, 4:00 to 8:00. What -?
9
MR.
: After the count.
10
MR.
: So, after the 4:00 p.m.
11
count.
12
MR.
: After the 4:00 p.m. count.
13
MR.
: And why is it after the
14
count?
15
MR.
: Because that's when the guys
16
come back, after the count. We do the 4:00
17
count. And then, you get an (Indiscernible
18
*00:56:31) base count training is like this.
19
You get 20 guys came back from court, this WAB
20
got cancelled.
21
MR.
: So, as far as the 4:00
22
count, or is it at that point, do people start
23
saying, where are these guys, and start making
24
calls, are they coming back or not?
25
MR.
: At 4:00? No.
EFTA00111068
81
1
MR.
: No? So, when is the next
2
time that they would be listed on that count?
3
MR.
: The 9:00 count.
4
MR.
: The 10:00 count?
5
MR.
: Oh, the 10:00 count. Yeah.
6
MR.
: Do you want to ask some
7
more questions on that line? I'm just trying to
8
Because I thought it was at - I felt people
9
have told at 4:00, that's when they start
10
making calls to say, is this guy coming back or
11
not. That's not your understanding?
12
MR.
: Why would you make a call at
13
4:00?
14
MR.
: Because you've got to
15
know if they're coming back to the unit or not
16
coming back.
17
MR.
: Well, the count, 3:45 is
18
over. So, you're in the unit or not. So, at
19
4:00, we do the count. After the count, that's
20
when the guys come in from court.
21
MR.
: Okay.
22
MR.
: That's when we get the guys
23
coming back to SHU and going back to their
24
units.
25
MR.
: And would you be - would
EFTA00111069
82
1
anybody be notified, prior to 4:00, that people
2
were, or were not, coming back?
3
MR.
: Not to my understanding. No.
4
MR.
: All right. So, to your
5
understanding, it's not until 4:00 or later,
6
that this, you know, people would know Reyes
7
was not coming back?
8
MR.
: Yeah.
9
MR.
: All right. So, if Reyes
10
doesn't come back after 4:00 p.m., who, on that
11
daily assignment roster, would be responsible
12
for making notifications, or determining that
13
Epstein needed a cellmate?
14
MR.
: I mean, the notification is
15
here. We already have the notification.
16
MR.
: Yeah.
I know you're
17
pointing to the email that says that he
18
requires to have a cellmate. What I'm asking
19
is, okay, now 4:00 on, at some point after
20
4:00, you're saying Reyes - it's known that
21
Reyes is now not coming back.
22
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
23
MR.
: Not - possibly not coming
24
back, but he's not coming back. Who would be
25
responsible for placing - for making
EFTA00111070
83
1
notifications that, hey, Reyes is out, Epstein
2
does not have a cellmate, we need to start
3
making some notifications?
4
MR.
: I mean, I don't know.
5
There's no notifications. That's if he doesn't
6
have a cellmate, we give him a cellmate.
7
MR.
: Yeah. So, what I'm
8
saying is -.
9
MR.
: But the lieutenant is not
10
saying, hey, by the way, you know? If they
11
catch it, they'll say it, but if they don't -.
12
MR.
: And I'm not saying it's -
13
14
MR.
: Yeah.
15
MR.
: -- a lieutenant's
16
responsibility. What I'm asking is, whose
17
responsibility is it?
18
MR.
: To say, hey, this guy, get
19
him a cellmate, or make a notification?
20
MR.
: Yes. Like, who would be
21
the first one to know that Reyes is no longer
22
there? Would it be the SHU?
23
MR.
: I'd say R&D.
24
MR.
: So, R&D would be there.
25
What is R&D's responsibility, at that point?
EFTA00111071
84
1
MR.
: Oh, hey, we've got all the
2
inmates back. It's such and such. And that's
3
it. You ain't get him? Then they're not coming
4
back. They're gone.
5
MR.
: But would R&D be
6
responsible for saying, hey, SHU, Reyes isn't
7
coming back, or would they say, hey, ops
8
lieutenant, Reyes isn't coming back. Who would
9
R&D notify?
10
MR.
: I'm not sure. In the past, I
11
would say they calling SHU directly.
12
MR.
: SHU directly?
13
MR.
: Yeah.
14
MR.
: All right. So, in the
15
SHU, after 4:00, who was working?
16
MR. -:
, Noel, and
17
MR. -:
, Noel, and
18
Are they the only three there?
19
MR.
: That's the only three listed.
20
MR.
: Okay. So, one of those
21
three were likely notified?
22
MR.
: I'm not sure.
23
MR.
: Okay. And if they
24
weren't notified, at what point would they know
25
Reyes isn't coming back?
EFTA00111072
1
MR.
: I'll say about 8:00.
2
MR.
: And how would they be
3
notified?
4
MR.
: Because usually, all the
5
inmates are by then, you know, talking to the
6
lieutenant, hey, is anyone else down there?
7
That's like a (Indiscernible *01:00:27) call.
8
MR.
: Is there some point when
9
they should be saying, hey, this guy left at
10
8:00 this morning, he's still not back?
11
MR.
: No. You said, is it at some
12
point? Yeah.
13
MR.
: So, and at what point is
14
that? Is it during a count? Or is it just - is
15
there, like, you know, duties that they're
16
doing prior to the count, where they've got to
17
make sure people are there? How does that work?
18
MR.
: I mean -.
19
MR.
: You've worked in the SHU,
20
so from your recollection, from when you worked
21
in the SHU, how would that work? Especially
22
being that MCC is a jail, not a prison, where
23
people could, at any time, be released or
24
moved. How does that work in the SHU?
25
MR.
: I used to have, like, that, I
EFTA00111073
86
1
think, set by 8:00.
2
MR.
: I'm sorry. What did you
3
say about 8:00?
4
MR.
: By 8:00, is when I say, hey,
5
is anyone else coming up? And this is the base
6
count. Like, I want to get everything straight
7
in the computer.
8
MR.
: Okay.
9
MR.
: I'll say by 8:00.
10
MR.
: And on that date, when
11
those three people were working, who would
12
typically be responsible for doing something
13
like that? Is it, like, SHU one, SHU two, two
14
three, or is it just anybody, any one of them,
15
or how does that work?
16
MR.
: To do what?
17
MR.
: To say, like, hey, we've
18
got to make sure our base count is correct.
19
MR.
: I mean, it could be any one
20
of them.
21
MR.
: Any one of them?
22
MR.
: Yeah.
23
MR.
: But it's not like
24
someone's job? It's just someone should take
25
that role.
EFTA00111074
87
1
MR.
: I mean, but they've got to
2
have the base count right, for the 10:00 count.
3
MR.
: So, one of those people
4
should have got the base count right, but it's
5
not one specific person's duty? Or is it
6
something that they're supposed to collaborate
7
on all together?
8
MR.
: I mean, it depends. It
9
depends. If you're working, hey, such and such
10
(Indiscernible *01:02:01). If you're number
11
two, you know, you go to the board, you could
12
change it yourself. You know, the OIC. All
13
right, you know, making sure everything is in
14
order.
15
MR.
: Was there an OIC on that
16
night?
17
MR.
: Yes.
18
MR.
: Who?
19
MR. -:
20
MR.
: So,
was the OIC?
21
MR.
: Yes.
22
MR.
: So, technically, he's
23
probably the one who should have been
24
responsible to catch the fact that their base
25
count changed, and he wasn't coming back?
EFTA00111075
1
MR.
: I'm not sure about that.
2
Because he was non-custody. I'm not sure.
3
MR.
: Okay.
4
MR.
: Because, you see, he's non-
5
custody. Mine was bon-custody. He's just up
6
there for overtime. So, I'm not sure.
7
MR.
: Okay. Now, as far the
8
lieutenants' job. So, at that point in time,
9
it was
that was the ops, and
hat
10
was the activities. What is their role in
11
ensuring that Reyes is, one, back; and two,
12
Epstein is placed with a new cellmate?
13
MR.
: Yeah.
14
MR.
: Do they have any role? Or
15
is it all on the SHU?
16
MR.
: I mean, it's - they don't
17
have a role. You know, it's -.
18
MR.
: What about when they're
19
conducting their rounds, as part of their
20
responsibility to say, to check that kind of
21
stuff, or is it just to see what inmates are
22
there, and that the inmates that are there, are
23
okay?
24
MR.
: Pretty much. You've got to
25
do a round.
EFTA00111076
89
1
MR.
: Does that round entail
2
verifying that Epstein has a cellmate and Reyes
3
isn't there?
4
MR.
: I'm not sure of that. We
5
just know we do our rounds.
6
MR.
: So, that goes back to,
7
what does a round entail? Does that mean that
8
you need to verify that the people that are on
9
the books are there, and other people are
10
removed?
11
MR.
: Yes, with staff and
12
accountability. For the most part. You know?
13
Inmates banging, hey, all right, I'll be up,
14
doing my round. I'll deal with this when I get
15
up there.
16
MR.
: But when you say for
17
accountability, what does that entail?
18
MR.
: Presence of inmates,
19
depending on who goes up there. They know,
20
okay, this is on - they try certain things,
21
they won't try certain things.
22
MR.
: Are you comparing a list
23
of the inmates that you know to be in the SHU,
24
with who's actually in the SHU?
25
MR.
: No. Not for a round. No.
EFTA00111077
90
1
MR.
: No? All right. So, as
2
far as a round conducted by a lieutenant, would
3
they know - would they be able to figure out
4
that Reyes was removed?
5
MR.
: Depending on what time the
6
round was.
7
MR.
: And can you give me more
8
explanation? What time would that change?
9
MR.
: If I do an early round, and
10
Epstein's in a cell by his self, okay, I still
11
have time, still doing court movements, and it
12
raise no suspicion or no alarm.
13
MR.
: Okay. So, about what
14
time would there be a suspicion or alarm that
15
be raised?
16
MR.
: I told you. At about 8:00.
17
MR.
: 8:00?
18
MR.
: Yeah.
19
MR.
: Because Reyes hasn't been
20
back?
21
MR.
: Yeah.
22
MR.
: Okay. Were you ever
23
provided any instructions on what actions
24
should be taken if Reyes was removed as
25
Epstein's cellmate?
EFTA00111078
91
1
MR.
: No.
2
MR.
: What actions should have
3
been taken once Reyes was removed?
4
MR.
Hmm. Honestly, I mean, like
5
I said, we bunk all the inmates together. So,
6
if he were to move, look for him a new bunkie.
7
MR.
: And is that something -
8
should have they notified - when they say look
9
for a new bunkie, I'm assuming you're talking
10
about the people in the SHU?
11
MR.
: Yeah. A new cellmate. Yeah.
12
MR.
: So, I think you said
13
, and Noel?
14
MR.
: Yeah.
15
MR.
: Could have they placed
16
him with a new cellmate, or would have they had
17
you make notification to the ops and/or
18
activities' lieutenant?
19
MR.
: You know, they don't need to
20
make notification.
21
MR.
: What about when someone
22
is high-profile as an inmate as Epstein?
23
MR.
: No, he didn't make
24
notification.
25
MR.
: So, you don't think that
EFTA00111079
92
1
they would have. Do you know if Epstein's
2
cellmates were vetted by the captain and above?
3
MR.
: I think I heard something
4
like that. I think so.
5
MR.
: Now, does that play into
6
that answer? About if they could have just
7
placed anyone with him?
8
MR.
: I'm not sure.
9
MR.
: Okay.
10
MR.
: But I think someone vetted
11
like that, pre-approved or something like that.
12
I think - I'm not sure - but I think I did hear
13
something like that.
14
MR.
: Okay. But to your
15
knowledge, they could have placed anyone with
16
him? Not anyone, but, like, they could have
17
placed a new inmate with him.
18
MR.
: Yeah, they could have.
19
MR.
: Okay. Should have they?
20
MR.
: I'm not sure. Like you said,
21
the whole vetted thing, yeah. I'm not sure.
22
MR.
: So, if they knew that
23
Reyes was vetted, and was placed with him, at
24
that point, should have they done anything
25
else? Such as called the lieutenant to say,
EFTA00111080
93
1
hey, he's not back, we need to get him a new
2
celimate. Can I place someone with him, or
3
should have they just taken action on their
4
own?
5
MR.
: I don't know.
6
MR.
: If you were - I know you
7
were day watch - but if you were evening watch,
8
would of you expected them to notify you?
9
MR.
: Yeah.
10
MR.
: So, in this case, should
11
have they notified
or should have they
12
notified
, or either of them?
13
MR.
: I'm not sure.
14
MR.
: Should have -.
15
MR.
: That was non-custody.
16
MR.
: Should have the person
17
notified them by telephone, or when one of
18
those lieutenants did their rounds?
19
MR.
: You said should they have?
20
MR.
: Yeah.
21
MR.
: If they would have? Yeah,
22
either/or. Both. Call, email, whatever.
23
MR.
: Now, someone like -. So,
24
was the activities' lieutenant that
25
night, correct?
EFTA00111081
1
MR.
: Yes.
2
MR.
: Since she was not a
3
lieutenant, she was an SIS, do you feel that
4
she had the knowledge and capabilities to be
5
able to do that job, at that time?
6
MR.
: What job are you talking
7
about?
8
MR.
: Activities' lieutenant.
9
MR.
: Yeah. I think she was
10
training, right?
11
MR.
: Well, I -.
12
MR.
: I think she was training.
13
It's that temporary post, right?
14
MR.
: So -.
15
MR.
: Yeah, but that still wouldn't
16
be on her, though.
17
MR.
: If she's the one who did
18
a round in the SHU for her shift.
19
MR.
: Yeah.
20
MR.
: Is that something that
21
she should have checked on? Hey, where's Reyes?
22
There's nobody in -. Because not only - I
23
mean, everyone knows what cellmate Epstein is
24
in. So, even if Epstein's not in there, and
25
he's still down at attorney conference, nobody
EFTA00111082
1
is in there. So, shouldn't that have been
2
something that you'd say, hey, where is this
3
guy? Is he coming back? Should that be
4
something that was -?
5
MR.
: That kind of depends on the
6
time.
7
MR.
: And when you're saying
8
that you just mean because he possibly could be
9
coming back?
10
MR.
: Yes.
11
MR.
: But if no one is there,
12
and she knows he's out at court, shouldn't she
13
at least have followed up on, hey, anybody
14
check on his? Is he coming back?
15
MR.
: Well, that's R&D. R&D
16
notifies us if they're coming back or not.
17
MR.
: All right. So, when
18
doing rounds, that's not something being that,
19
hey, we've got to make sure that Epstein has a
20
cellmate. Not something that should be, like,
21
a, hey, nobody's in Epstein's cell. What's
22
going on there?
23
MR.
: I mean, that's what I'm
24
saying. We get this notice, not just with
25
Epstein, with every inmate --
EFTA00111083
1
MR.
: Okay.
2
MR.
: -- that comes on suicide
3
watch.
4
MR.
:
So, did you ever see -
5
when you were visiting the cell - did you ever
6
see this sign up in the SHU?
7
MR.
: No.
8
MR.
: And I'm showing you a
9
colored note, saying, "Mandatory rounds must be
10
conducted every 30 minutes on Epstein, number
11
76318-054, as per guide."
12
MR.
: Nah.
13
MR.
:
You never noticed that?
14
MR.
: No.
15
MR.
: All right. So, that's
16
nothing you ever saw in any of your times
17
visiting there?
18
MR.
: No.
19
MR.
:
All right. If that was
20
up - sorry.
21
MR.
: Sorry.
22
MR.
:
Please.
23
MR.
: No, no. If you have.
24
MR.
:
No.
25
MR.
: I have a --
EFTA00111084
1
MR.
: No, no, no.
2
MR.
:
I have a funny joke,
3
that's why.
4
MR.
: I was just going to say,
5
if that is up for people to see, doing rounds
6
in the SHU, does that change any of those
7
answers of, hey, where is Epstein's cellmate?
8
MR.
: I mean, this is - if it's
9
rounds - that's something different than me
10
saying single bunk. So, if they're saying
11
we're doing rounds on them, that wouldn't make
12
them to think about, why is this guy - where is
13
his bunkie?
14
MR.
: You don't think so? So,
15
if you're actually looking into his cell and
16
saying, you know he needs a bunkie, I'm looking
17
in his cell, and there is no one else with him,
18
you don't think that those are correlated?
19
MR.
: Yeah, but not because of
20
this. No. That's just saying rounds, hey,
21
make sure you do your rounds.
22
MR.
: It says specifically --
23
MR.
: Than when it's not --
24
MR.
: -- rounds on -?
25
MR.
: -- yea, but normal, it's not
EFTA00111085
98
1
going to think just because - it's not going to
2
mix this with this.
3
MR.
: So, even though they're
4
looking in on Epstein, seeing that he's not -
5
he's by himself, that won't alert them to the
6
fact -?
7
MR.
: No. Not that sign. No.
8
MR.
: No?
9
MR.
: No.
10
MR.
: You don't think so?
11
MR.
: It says, "Mandatory rounds."
12
MR.
: Do you know of any other
13
signs that were in the SHU, saying that he was
14
required to have a cellmate?
15
MR.
: Hmm. I can't recall.
16
MR.
: What about the hot list?
17
Tell me about, what is a hot list?
18
MR.
: The hot list is inmates who
19
have suicidal behavior or attempts in the past.
20
MR.
: And people on the hot
21
list, are they required to have a cellmate?
22
MR.
: Yeah.
23
MR.
: Do you remember seeing
24
the hot list that was in the SHU?
25
MR.
: No.
EFTA00111086
1
MR.
: Is that as part, as a
2
lieutenant, would they check out the hot list
3
when they would go down there?
4
MR.
: No. We would just - no - we
5
would just check to see if it's updated.
6
MR.
: Okay. So, Epstein's
7
listed on the hot list.
8
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
9
MR.
: What does that, then,
10
tell these people working in the SHU?
11
MR.
: He needs a cellmate.
12
MR.
: And do all of them know,
13
if Epstein's on the hot list, those people need
14
cellmates?
15
MR.
: I'm not sure if all of them
16
knew.
17
MR.
: But are they supposed to?
18
MR.
: I don't know. Yeah.
19
MR.
: All right. So, you feel
20
like the hot list is even more important than
21
the sign I just showed you, for cellmate
22
purposes?
23
MR.
: This sign? Where the sign
24
come from?
25
MR.
: If this sign was in the
EFTA00111087
100
1
SHU --
2
MR.
:
You said "if"?
3
MR.
: -- well, I'm not saying
4
I can't say if - yeah - I can't tell you --
5
MR.
: Oh.
6
MR.
: -- exactly what is and
7
what isn't. I'm just saying, assuming that
8
this was in the SHU.
9
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
10
MR.
:
What was your question?
11
MR.
: That's what I'm saying.
12
This, I don't think this was up there.
13
MR.
:
You don't think that was
14
in the SHU?
15
MR.
: No.
16
MR.
: Because -.
17
MR.
: I mean, not in no tier or
18
nothing like that.
19
MR.
: Okay. But around, like,
20
the officers -?
21
MR.
: The hot list is up there,
22
though.
23
MR.
: But what about, like, up
24
on, like, the desk area? Would you be around
25
the officer's desk area?
EFTA00111088
101
1
MR.
: Hmm. I mean, if I had to.
2
MR.
: But you didn't notice
3
that --
4
MR.
: But not normally.
5
MR.
: -- in the desk area?
6
MR.
: No.
7
MR.
: All right. Where would
8
the hot list be located?
9
MR.
: So, behind the desks, like, a
10
wall we have, that we keep it up there.
11
MR.
: All right. And they're
12
supposed to be checking that, and making sure
13
those people are, one) checked on, and two)
14
have cellmates? Is that the purpose?
15
MR.
: The hot list is just any -
16
it's pretty much any inmate that comes from the
17
housing unit. They come from the housing unit.
18
This guy psych alert, hey, make sure this guy
19
gets a bunkie. That's the initial check.
20
That's what the hot list is for.
21
MR.
: And are they supposed to
22
check that list every day, to make those same -
23
24
MR.
: I mean, you don't - no, you
25
get up there, it's, hey, on the suicide watch,
EFTA00111089
102
1
is he on the hot list? So, it's not common to
2
check it every day. No.
3
MR.
: All right. So, it's not
4
common to check it every day?
5
MR.
: Every day, no. Unless it's
6
updated.
7
MR.
: Only when it's updated,
8
you check it.
9
MR.
: Yeah, if the guy is still on
10
it.
11
MR.
: But wouldn't - again, the
12
fact that the MCC is a jail, not a prison -
13
wouldn't it be pretty regular that people are
14
being moved in and out?
15
MR.
: Not on the hot list.
16
MR.
: No, but the people that
17
they're bunked with. If they're required to
18
have a cellmate --
19
MR.
: Mm-hmm.
20
MR.
: -- wouldn't it be pretty
21
regular that they would have to - their
22
cellmates might be leaving? Because if it's a
23
jail, not a prison.
24
MR.
: Yeah.
25
MR.
: So, that's what I'm
EFTA00111090
103
1
saying. So, how are they always ensuring that
2
those people that are required to have
3
cellmates have cellmates?
4
MR.
: That's when you say, hey, I
5
got a single cell up there.
6
MR.
: And at what point is that
7
reviewed?
8
MR.
: The single cells?
9
MR.
: Yeah. Is that supposed
10
to be a daily occurrence?
11
MR.
: Yeah.
12
MR.
: And is that - what time
13
is that? The 8:00 time that you're talking
14
about?
15
MR.
: No. Usually, that's in the
16
morning. So, like, if I come in, hey, you
17
know, I'm going to - who's in the single cell?
18
You know?
19
MR.
: Well, what about -.
20
MR.
: At night, it's just not -.
21
At night, it's -.
22
MR.
: Even when people are left
23
during the day, and then come back from court?
24
Some people come back, some people don't.
25
MR.
: Yeah.
EFTA00111091
104
1
MR.
: Wouldn't that be another
2
time that they do it, or they don't do it at
3
that time?
4
MR.
: I mean, I mean, like I said,
5
after that cut off time, that's when you start
6
saying, okay, we've got a single cell, of such
7
and such. Then again, remember, MCC get
8
inmates throughout the night.
9
MR.
: They do?
10
MR.
: Yeah.
11
MR.
: Placed in the SHU?
12
MR.
: Yeah.
13
MR.
: Okay. And you didn't
14
work that night. Do you know of any people
15
that were placed in the SHU that night, on
16
August 9th?
17
MR.
: No. Not according to this,
18
no.
19
MR.
: And did you conduct any
20
counts or rounds in the SHU on August 9th?
21
MR.
: I can't recall.
22
MR.
: And what is the purpose?
23
Why do COs conduct counts and rounds in the
24
SHU?
25
MR.
: To make sure they're alive.
EFTA00111092
105
1
MR.
: Is it also to make sure
2
everyone is there?
3
MR.
:
Yeah.
4
MR.
: And are cells and counts
5
- are counts and rounds documented?
6
MR.
Yup.
7
MR.
: And how
8
MR.
: Probably.
9
MR.
: -- how are they
10
documented?
11
MR.
: 30-minute log in in TruScope.
12
MR.
:
So, 30-minute log for
13
rounds?
14
MR.
: Yeah.
15
MR.
:
And what is the TruScope?
16
MR.
: Rounds.
17
MR.
: That's rounds, as well?
18
MR.
:
You put rounds in there, too,
19
but all the counts.
20
MR.
:
So, counts --
21
MR.
: Mainly counts, yeah.
22
MR.
: -- so, are counts also
23
are there, like, little slips that are filled
24
out?
25
MR.
:
Yeah.
EFTA00111093
106
1
MR.
:
Who fills them out?
2
MR.
: All the officers.
3
MR.
: And what do they do with
4
them?
5
MR.
:
Give it to Internal.
6
MR.
: And does Internal come to
7
the SHU, or does the SHU go to Internal?
8
MR.
: It depends.
9
Not before this incident.
10
MR. -:
MR.
: Or it does
11
it both ways?
12
MR.
: Both ways. Just get it to
13
control.
14
MR.
: Okay. Do all COs who
15
work in the SHU know how to properly conduct
16
and report counts and rounds?
17
MR.
: I'm not sure.
18
MR.
:
Should they know how to
19
conduct counts and rounds?
20
MR.
:
Yeah.
21
MR.
: And how should they know?
22
MR.
: Training.
23
MR.
: And do you think everyone
24
there got enough training to know how to do a
25
count and a round?
EFTA00111094
1
MR.
: Yeah.
2
MR.
: Did you ever hear of
3
people, like, filling out count slips, or round
4
sheets? Either before, or at the very start of
5
their shift, for their entire shift, or at the
6
end of the shift for their entire shift?
7
MR.
: Not before this incident.
8
MR.
: Did you hear about that
9
after this incident?
10
MR.
: Yeah.
11
MR.
: What did you hear about
12
that?
13
MR.
: That they didn't count.
14
mean, it was filling out slips. It wasn't
15
counted. Wasn't making rounds.
16
MR.
: And who was it that you
17
heard that wasn't conducting counts and rounds?
18
MR.
: Thomas and Noel.
19
MR.
: Anybody else in there?
20
MR.
: No.
21
MR.
: Did you hear anything
22
about counts and rounds not being conducted
23
prior to midnight on August 10th? So, any time
24
on August 9th, did you hear about any of those
25
counts and rounds not being conducted?
EFTA00111095
108
1
MR.
: On the watch then?
2
MR.
: Any time on August 9th.
3
So, this date.
4
MR.
: No.
5
MR.
: Even after the fact, you
6
never heard about, like, the 10:00 p.m. count,
7
or the 4:00 p.m. count, the counts not being
8
conducted?
9
MR.
: No.
10
MR.
:
You haven't heard that?
11
MR.
: No. I don't know. Not that
12
I know of. Some, what, counts on these days?
13
MR.
:
Yeah.
14
MR.
: No. You have the 4:00 count.
15
You have the 10:00 count. Yeah, the midnight
16
count. Yeah.
17
MR.
: Right. So, what I'm
18
asking, did you --
19
MR.
:
Have I heard that --
20
MR.
: -- did you hear
21
MR.
-- 4:00 and 10:00 --
22
MR.
: -- that (Indiscernible
23
*01:18:33) --
24
MR.
: -- wasn't done?
25
MR.
: Right.
EFTA00111096
109
1
MR.
: No.
2
MR.
:
Now, do lieutenants sign
3
the counts or the rounds?
4
MR.
: The rounds. Not the counts.
5
MR.
:
So, what is the
6
lieutenants' responsibility for signing the
7
round sheets?
8
MR.
: Making sure they're in
9
compliance with the policy.
10
MR.
: All right. And do they
11
have to - is there any way for them to verify
12
if, like, the rounds were actually done?
13
MR.
Hmm. No. Unless you're
14
doing a - checking a video.
15
MR.
:
You just - is what you do
16
is just to make sure that the - it's actually
17
filled out?
18
MR.
: Correctly.
19
MR.
: Correctly filled out? All
20
right. I'm going to - I apologize for this,
21
it's gotten a little longer - so, I'm going to
22
show you. What is this that I'm showing you?
23
MR.
: It's a round sheet.
24
MR.
: All right. And what is
25
the round sheet from?
EFTA00111097
110
1
MR.
: The 9th.
2
MR.
: The 9th. Did you have
3
anything - well, as the activities' lieutenant
4
- would of you had anything to do with signing
5
off on any of these?
6
MR.
:
Yeah.
7
MR.
:
Which ones would of you
8
signed off on?
9
MR.
:
Day watch.
10
MR.
: Okay. And are you on
11
that? Did you sign any of that?
12
MR.
:
Yeah.
13
MR.
:
Where is your signature?
14
MR.
: On the day shift.
15
MR.
: So, that's your actual
16
signature?
17
MR.
: Yeah.
18
MR.
:
Is that for the SHU?
19
MR.
:
Yeah.
20
MR.
:
Who else signed that?
21
MR.
: The officer.
22
MR.
:
Which officer?
23
MR.
: I'm not sure.
24
MR.
:
You can't tell by looking
25
at that?
EFTA00111098
1
MR.
: No.
2
MR.
: All right. And around
3
what time would of you signed that? Do you
4
know?
5
MR.
: Some time on my shift.
6
MR.
: All right. So, does that
7
indicate that you would have, then, conducted a
8
round in the SHU?
9
MR.
: I'm not sure.
10
MR.
:
Would of you signed that
11
in the SHU?
12
MR.
: Honestly, I'm not sure.
13
MR.
:
How else would of you
14
gotten it?
15
MR.
: I'm not sure.
16
MR.
:
So, is the SHU sheet ever
17
sent outside of the SHU for the lieutenant to
18
sign?
19
MR.
: I'm not sure. I can't recs.:
20
on this day.
21
MR.
:
But what I'm asking is,
22
like, have you ever signed one of these round
23
sheets outside of the SHU?
24
MR.
: I'm not sure.
25
MR.
: Or is it typically that
EFTA00111099
112
1
the lieutenant would sign the sheet in the SHU?
2
Because aren't they maintained in the SHU?
3
MR.
: Typically, that's what would
4
happen.
5
MR.
: So, typically, you would
6
have signed this in the SHU. Correct?
7
MR.
: Yeah.
8
MR.
: And would of you signed
9
this after the last one was filled out? I'm
10
assuming they wouldn't fill one out after you
11
signed it, would they?
12
13
14
2:07. Wouldn't that typically mean that you
15
would have been there at least 2:00?
16
MR.
: I'm not sure.
17
MR.
: But by looking at this
18
document, does that indicate to you, that if
19
you signed it, you would have signed it? Do you
20
ever sign -. Are these continued to be filled
21
out after the - sorry - after the lieutenant
22
signs it?
23
MR.
: Yeah.
24
MR.
: So, even for day watch
25
right here?
MR.
: I'm not sure.
MR.
: So, this one say
