stated the responsibilities of an activities lieutenant include
making rounds and placing inmates in special housing. During rounds they
ensure officers are properly carrying out their job responsibilities and
give the inmates the opportunity to address them with any concerns.
stated he often attempted to walk all of the tiers based on time.
stated on weekdays the prison takes a count at 4PM. The
activities and operations lieutenants take a verbal count by speaking with
each unit and match that number with the count slips from internal, if
correct they clear the institutional count. They cannot clear a count until
they receive a good verbal count from every unit. He was not aware of any
instance in which the count was cleared without speaking with every unit.
stated he would attempt to watch the camera monitors as the
corrections officers performed the count to ensure officers were properly
counting, he could not monitor at all times due to the amount of activity in
the control room.
stated he was normally relieved before 10PM, prior to evening
count. He had heard of an instance where the count was not properly
completed, but it had been some time in the past.
stated as a lieutenant he worked to enforce policy through verbal
counseling and by example. Taking the count is one of the most important
duties corrections officers perform as professionals.
stated the special housing unit (SHU) is responsible for doing
rounds every thirty minutes. As a lieutenant he would sign round forms if
they were correct. He had never signed off on forms that were filled out in
advance and would report any instance of that to his supervisors if he was
aware of it. He trained officers to differ their round patterns so inmates
would not be aware of their timing.
stated he had heard stories of officers not completing their
thirty minute rounds in the SHU, other than the JEFFREY EPSTEIN death he had
not heard of any instances for approximately five to ten years.
stated he recalled suicides taking place in MCC in 2003 and
another several years later.

time of his arrival EPSTEIN was deemed ok to go to general population,

counsel, often until 7-8 PM. Other than the intake questions EPSTEIN
answered on his arrival,
had no other personal interaction with him.

first alleged suicide attempt. His only other involvement with EPSTEIN was
to bring him food while in the SHU.

that he was required to have a roommate per a mass email he had received.

Epstein's need for a roommate.

, was interviewed at I
, New York, NY, 10007 (US Attorney's Office, Southern
District of New York). Present at the interview was Office of the Inspector
General (OIG) Special Agent (SA)
, Assistant U.S. Attorney
(AUSA)
, and FBI SA
. After being advised of the
identity of the interviewing Agents and the nature of the interview, DR.
provided the following statement:
DR.
is the Chief Psychologist at the Metropolitan Correctional
Center (MCC). Her background includes: a Bachelor's degree in Criminology, a
Master's in Mental Health Counseling, a Master's in Clinical Counseling, and
a Doctorate. DR.
was the staff psychologist at East Jersey State
Prison for two years, she completed a one year Post-Doctoral Fellowship, an
internship working at an in / out patient mental health treatment center,
and she did an externship at Federal Detention Center in Miami working with
a battered women's program. DR.
worked as a staff psychologist at the
Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) Brooklyn from 2003-2006, and as a
Forensic Psychologist from 2006-2008. DR.
has been the Chief
Psychologist at MCC for the last 11 years.
DR.
oversees three forensic psychologists, one staff psychologist,
a drug abuse coordinator, and a drug treatment specialist. Her duties
include ensuring all patients are seen and the appropriate documentation is
completed. She consults on individual cases as needed. She ensures the
forensic reports are out on time. She reviews all the reports she signs off
on. At this time, DR.
is seeing more patients then she normally does
due to staffing. Her typical hours are 7a.m.-3:30p.m., Monday - Friday.
DR.
provided information on the intake process as it relates to
Psychological Services at MCC. All inmates complete the Psychological
Services Intake Questionnaire (PSIQ) themselves. It asks for the inmates

mental health history, as well as any symptoms they are feeling at that
time. Based off the PSIQ, inmates are rated a 'Care Code' rating.
Code 1 means there are no concerns about the inmate's mental health
status. They have no needs, and will not be followed up with unless
requested to by either the inmate themselves, or staff.
Code 2 means there is some history of mental health issues, but the
inmate has them under control. Psychological Services will follow up with
these individuals monthly.
Code 3 are more severe cases and they are seen every week by
Psychological Services to ensure the inmate is stable. If the inmate isn't
stable in general population, they will be moved to observation. If they
continue to deteriorate, they will go to the hospital.
Code 4 inmates are seen everyday by Psychological Services, and are under
constant psychological observation.
DR.
pointed out that a Code 1 can be on Suicide Watch. Often times
those cases involve manipulation techniques used by inmates to get what they
want from staff. For example if an inmate is not getting along with a guard,
or they want a new cellmate, they will claim to be suicidal to get out of
their housing area. If an inmate does this two or three times, they will be
bumped to a Code 2 so that a psychologist will meet with them monthly.
Suicide Watch means an inmate is imminently suicidal. If an inmate is
placed on suicide watch they are under constant watch by staff, they have a
special mattress, blanket, and smock to wear, and their cell lights are on
24/7.
Suicide Observation is a lower classification, and is not at all Bureau
of Prison (BOP) facilities. Everything is the same with suicide observation
inmates, except they are allowed to have their clothing, and some materials
such as books. Suicide Watch can be detrimental if a person is left on it
for too long, so Observation is used to see how an inmate is doing before
releasing them back to general population.
Any psychologist at the jail can take an inmate off of Suicide Watch, but
they do consult with DR.
on occasion. Many times the executive staff

at the jail meet, and inmates' psychological status and services are
discussed. Meetings are held on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Generally
present at those meetings are DR.
the Warden, two Associate Wardens,
Captain, Supervisory Attorney, Duty Officer, and the Executive Assistant.
Department Head Meetings are held on Wednesdays.
DR. II
completed the PSIQ for JEFFREY EPSTEIN on July 8,
2019. EPSTEIN did not mark anything on his PSIQ, and had it not been
EPSTEIN, he would have been sent to general population and rated a Care Code
1. DR.
consulted with DR. ROBERT
about EPSTEIN's risk factors
aside from his psychological health including the high profile case and sex
offense charges. When EPSTEIN returned from court that day, DR.
ordered he be placed on watch status to allow psychology to complete a
thorough suicide risk assessment. (See Reference #1, attached to this report
in a 1A, for further details.)
DR.
completed the Suicide Risk Assessment the next day. EPSTEIN
was angry he was placed on observation, but he continued to report no
history of suicidally, no substance abuse, no major medical concerns,and no
overt risk factors. EPSTEIN was polite but annoyed with DR.
EPSTEIN
was kept in observation pending a suitable housing placement given his risk
factors of being an alleged sex offender, high profile crime, and having one
living brother/relative. She quoted EPSTEIN as saying "being alive is fun."
DR.
believed it was a genuine statement. (See Reference #2, attached
to this report in a 1A, for further details).
DR.
provided the interviewing Agents with a copy of the Suicide
Risk Assessment which was placed into this case as Reference #3, attached to
this report in a 1A.
On July 10, 2019 DR.
met with EPSTEIN in Observation. EPSTEIN was
still in Observation due to housing concerns. He continued to be
psychologically stable at that time. EPSTEIN was aware even if he got bail,
he would be at MCC for several more weeks. EPSTEIN made several demands and
voiced many complaints to DR.
which she passed onto executive staff.
EPSTEIN's cellmate for the Special Housing Unit (SHU) was decided by the
Warden and Associate Warden. DR.
was not included on that decision.
Her thought was the decided upon cellmate, TARTAGLIONE, had a lot to lose

given his history and charges, which made him low risk to EPSTEIN.
On July 11, 2019, EPSTEIN was taken off observation and housed in the
SHU. DR.
met with EPSTEIN in the attorney conference rooms that day
because EPSTEIN was there all day. Both EPSTEIN and his attorney were
mocking DR.
for thinking EPSTEIN was suicidal. EPSTEIN continued to
make demands such as wanting to wear a brown uniform to his attorney
meetings. DR.
continued to pass those concerns onto the SHU
On July 16, 2019, after EPSTEIN's bail hearing, he called for DR.
to come to attorney conference. EPSTEIN didn't report any psychological
concerns, but chastised her because his needs weren't being met. DR.
felt EPSTEIN thought of her as his personal assistant. EPSTEIN requested a
Kosher diet, which she again passed on.
On July 18, 2019, a SHU review was attempted on EPSTEIN, but he was not
seen because he was in attorney conference.
On July 23, 2019, DR.
received a phone call regarding EPSTEIN
because he was found in his cell with a loose noose around his neck and had
been placed on Suicide Watch. She ordered a suicide risk assessment be
completed on him. DR.
completed the Suicide Risk Assessment later that
morning. During the assessment EPSTEIN told DR.
he did not remember
what happened. He denied suicidality, had future plans, he wanted to learn,
he wanted to fight his case, and he was "acting like a big kid." DR.
learned that EPSTEIN had told staff that his cellmate, TARTAGLIONE, had
tried to kill him. DR.
kept EPSTEIN on Suicide Watch.
DR.
had three hypotheses, in no particular order, regarding what
this incident meant:
1.) It was gaming by either EPSTEIN, TARTAGLIONE, or both, meaning there
was something they wanted that they weren't getting, so this was how they
were going to play the system to their advantage.
2.) It was a rehearsal by EPSTEIN, who really was suicidal.
3.) It was an assault committed by TARTAGLIONE.
On July 24, 2019, DR.
met with EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN reported he was

fearful to return to his cell with TARTAGLIONE because TARTAGLIONE had
called him a pedophile. EPSTEIN reported TARTAGLIONE had been playing with a
bedsheet before EPSTEIN fell asleep, and then next thing EPSTEIN remembered
was waking up snoring. EPSTEIN denied being suicidal and reported being
unhappy with his legal situation. He had been eating, drinking, and
sleeping. DR.
took EPSTEIN off Suicide Watch, and placed him on
Psychological Observation.
At that time, DR.
was not any clearer on which of her hypotheses
might have been true. EPSTEIN could have been using his charm to create
doubt about what happened. Psychology had not been contacted by EPSTEIN's
attorneys with any concerns regarding his mental health.
On July 25, 2019, DR.
met with EPSTEIN, who was in good spirits
and greeted her by saying "welcome back." DR.
confronted EPSTEIN on
the attempted suicide incident in an attempt to get answers. EPSTEIN said he
was baffled over it, and told DR.
to give him some cues to help him
remember. He continued with his requests and complaints, and did not want to
go back to SHU. EPSTEIN told DR.
"I have a life and want to go back
living my life." DR.
kept him on Observation because her questions
had not been answered regarding the suicide attempt.
After a conversation with DR.
Coordinator from Central Office, DR.
the National Suicide Prevention
got involved in EPSTEIN's
housing. DR.
recommended housing EPSTEIN with a sex offender in SHU,
which DR.
passed on via email to executive staff. (See email in
Reference 16, attached to this report in a 1A.)
On July 26, 2019, DR.
met with EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN said he needed to
establish trust with DR.
He continued with complaints and jokes,
making reference to DR.
being Jewish like him. It is against the
Jewish religion to commit suicide. EPSTEIN said he did not like pain and
didn't want to hurt himself. EPSTEIN had been interacting with the
companions assigned to him regularly.
On July 27, 2019, DR.
met with EPSTEIN, who was anxious about going
back to SHU due to the fact he did not know how he got the marks. EPSTEIN
did not answer DR.
questions about that night. She had begun working
more therapeutically with him, and provided him with handouts to cope with

investigation into a possible assault regarding this
incident still had not returned any answers. DR.
kept EPSTEIN on
Psychological Observation.
On July 28, 2019, DR.
met with EPSTEIN, who appeared the same. His
logbooks showed no signs of suicidality, and he was participating in his
legal meetings. There had been no contact from EPSTEIN's legal team
regarding any mental health concerns.
On July 29, 2019, DR.
visited EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN expressed that he
would like to stay in Psychological Observation because it is "safe."
EPSTEIN had been requesting his CPAP machine so that he could get a good
night's sleep. Due to the machine having a cord, this could not be
accommodated in Psychological Observation. EPSTEIN was given a choice to
stay in Psychological Observation one more night without it, or go to SHU
with it. He chose to stay in Psychological Observation one more night. DR.
consulted with executive staff prior to this decision.
On July 30, 2019, DR.
transitioned EPSTEIN back to the SHU. DR.
sent an email updating the appropriate staff of EPSTEIN's transition
off Psychological Observation and the need for him to be housed with a
cellmate. (See Reference 47, attached to this report in a 1A.)
DR.
discussed the importance of SHU inmates having a cellmate for
the following reasons:
1.) decreases isolation
2.) decreases privacy
3.) provides a distraction
4.) provides a rescue opportunity
At risk settings for inmates include restrictive housing, single cells,
and private spaces. SHU employees receive training on suicide prevention
quarterly. All employees receive suicide prevention training once a year.
DR.
provided slides from MCC's suicide prevention training to the
interviewing Agents, referred to as References #8 and t9, attached to this
report in a 1A, which highlight the above information. She stated all

lieutenants should be aware of the cellmate policy both due to the training
regularly provided, and Psychological Services constantly reminding them of
the procedure and needs of specific inmates. DR.
noted after
EPSTEIN's death, his old cellmate's label was still on his door. That is one
of the things the psych department looks for in their daily rounds in the
SHU - that there are two bodies in each cell.
DR.
was aware that DR.
attended the closeout meeting
that week, and discussed EPSTEIN's desire to have a single cell, but his
need for a cellmate.
DR.
was unaware regular rounds by the correctional officers were
not being completed. She is considered executive staff, so officers would
not tell her they were not being completed, and inmates wouldn't tell her
because of fear of retaliation by the guards. DR.
very regimented, and regularly does what she asks.
noted LT.
is
DR.
was not aware that EPSTEIN signed a new will on August 8. Had
she known, it would have been considered a red flag, and EPSTEIN would have
been placed on Psychological Observation. The attorneys did not tell anyone
from Psychological Services that it had occurred.
On August 8, 2019, DR.
attended the SHU meeting. She couldn't
recall all who was there, but it included unit team members, executive
staff, and attorneys for MCC. Nothing significant was discussed about
EPSTEIN at the meeting. She conducted SHU rounds to see EPSTEIN. He had a
cellmate at that time, and EPSTEIN had the lower bunk. He didn't have any
visible problems, appeared in good spirits, and reported getting along with
his cellmate. He had received his PAC number which allows him to make phone
calls, and he asked for his books from Psychological Observation.
DR.
never suggested a cell room with a camera for EPSTEIN because
she wanted him to have a cellmate. Rooms with cameras aren't always perfect
due to the guard having to maintain a constant eye on the camera screen. She
noted she has never gone to attorney conference for any other patients /
inmates. She believes MCC Psychological Services did all they could for
EPSTEIN, and ultimately the lack of a cellmate and understaffing contributed
to his death. Three suicide risk assessments were completed on EPSTEIN,
which is unusual. One of those was completed due to a judge's order.
