INTRODUCTION:
All Post Orders, including these Special Instructions are
intended as a guideline only and not all circumstances can be
anticipated or discussed. All officers are expected to use good
judgment in decision making during times of unusual incidents.
It is imperative that officers must be notified immediately
should a crisis occur. It is also imperative that all officers
have broad knowledge concerning the BOP policies and local
supplements and procedures governing this post. The security of
the institution and the safety of staff, as well as inmates, are
the primary function of the institution and the responsibility of
all staff. The Control Center has a critical responsibility for
maintaining institutional security and the prevention of escapes.
Officers assigned to this post must be alert for any unusual
activities and behaviors that may be occurring throughout the
institution.
The Control Center Officer may be one of the first employees a
visitor comes into contact with. It is important that the
officer presents a neat and professional image. The assigned
Control Center Officer must never leave the Control Center unless
properly relieved or with the Operations Lieutenants permission.
While in the Control Center the officer will always have in their
possession, the key ring which manually operates the inner door
of the control center, in the event the officer is trapped in the
Control Center Sally Port.
Although the entrances to the Control Center are primarily
electronically operated and cannot be opened at the same time,
they can be operated manually; however, AT NO TIME WILL BOTH
DOORS BE OPENED AT THE SAME TIME. The following are the majority
of areas governed by policy that the Control Center Officer has
contact with most frequently and must know and follow.

The goal of a Suicide Risk Management Plan is to
increase inmate safety by decreasing behaviors
that create risk for suiode or accidental death when
the inmate cannot be engaged in positive change
behaviors
Suicide Risk Management Plan
• A Suicide Risk Management Plan IS
- Feedback immediate and frequent
- Rertternent of positive behaviors or
neutral behaviors that replace harmful
behaviors
- Collaboration: between psychology, custody,
other departments, and executive staff
- Targeted: self-harm behaviors and other
behaviors that place the inmate in danger
(cutting, cell fires. et)
Creating a
Suicide Risk Management Plan
Psychology Services identifies key issues
through observation of the inmate and input
from staff:
—High risk behaviors
—Elements of the environment that
perpetuate dangerous behavior
—Reinforcers that may be used to reward

I. INTRODUCTION
Slide 1— Suicide Prevention (Header Slide)
Note: Introduce self and topic.
II. OBJECTIVES
Slide 2 - Objectives
At the end of the lesson, participants should be able to:
•
Identify common myths and accurate information about suicide.
•
List high risk groups and locations for suicide in their institution.
•
Identify risk factors and warning signs which may identify a potential suicide attempt.
•
State the four basic responses of a staff member who believes an inmate is at risk of suicide.
•
Describe the location of the suicide watch room(s) at their institution and what staff
should/should not do when assigned to work a suicide watch post.
As you know, everyone in the Bureau of Prisons, regardless of their specific job description,
must first function as a correctional worker, ensuring the security of the institution. We all also
have an equal responsibility to ensure that each inmate receives adequate and timely care for
their physical, spiritual and emotional needs. During this session, we will discuss a number of
facts and procedures that each of you as correctional workers should know about managing
offenders.
We will be talking about a number of situations where you must critically weigh the care needs
of the inmate with the custody needs of the institution. One of the most important situations
of this kind is in preventing suicides.
This training session will assist you in recognizing the important signs indicative of potential
suicidal behavior. It will acquaint you with a number of facts about inmates who have
committed suicide in federal prisons, and help you identify high risk groups of inmates. It will
also provide you with critical information about how best to respond during a suicide crisis
situation.
It is important that you openly express your concerns to psychology or medical staff about
inmates who are experiencing troubles. It is also very important to remember that psychology
or medical staff do not see inmates as regularly as other staff, and therefore, may not be as
aware of changes in their behavior or how various courses of treatment are affecting the
inmate.
Page 3 of 19
EFTA01688166
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
It is also very important that all employees, regardless of job specialty, feel empowered to
inform the appropriate staff if inmates are not receiving treatment or are obviously
deteriorating even if they are receiving treatment.
This is not to say you should be trying to diagnose inmates or should dispute or debate the
merits of treatment decisions made by the professional staff. However, in many cases you are
with the inmates most of the day and are probably better able to see problems or changes than
a health care professional who may only see the inmate for a relatively shorter period of time.
Your responsibility to ensure an inmate is receiving appropriate care does not stop simply
because you have referred him or her to another staff member, or because the inmate is
receiving treatment. If you are actively involved with that inmate on a regular basis and you
have good, supportable reasons to feel that a particular course of action does not seem to be
working, you should express those concerns to appropriate supervisors.
Slide 3 — Inmate Suicides in 2018
Note: Numbers should be entered in this section at the end of Fiscal Year 2018.
Slide 4 — Inmate Suicides in 2018
•
There were 28 inmate suicides in Fical Year 2018.
•
The rate of inmate suicides was 15 per 100,000.
•
This is significantly higher than last year's rate and most similar to 1995.
•
Inmates who died by suicide reflect traditional BOP high risk groups.
Slide 5 -Trends in 2018
•
11 % of suicides were by inmates in pre-trial status, compared to 17% in 2017 and 19% in
2016.
•
43% of inmates who died by suicide were in the first 36 months of their incarceration
compared to 35% in 2017.
•
50% of suicides were by inmates in single cell status. Similar to the 57% in 2017.
•
46% of suicides occurred in restrictive housing as compared to 52% in 2016.
Slide 6 -Trends in 2018
•
4% of inmates who died by suicide did so by exsanguination.
•
39% of inmate deaths by suicide involved inmates with a conviction or charge for a sex
offense, a significant increase over 26% in 2017.

Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
•
No suicides occurred at a private contract facility.
•
79% of inmates who died had a history of mental health problems.
Overall, our rates continue to track changes in the community and in the decade from 2000 -
2009, the average rate was just below 10/100,000. In FY2010, our rate of 5/100,000 was as low
as it has ever been; the rate for FY2012 was 13/100,000, which represents 29 suicides and the
rate for FY2013 was 6/100,000. The rate for FY2014 was 10/100,000. This tracks with higher
years such as 2000, 2001, 2008, 2009 and 2012. The Bureau's rate remains well below the
average rate of 20.2/100,000 for men in the community.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to know exactly why the rates have declined over the last 40 years
or why they spike and decline for any given year. Part of the decline has to be attributed to the
Suicide Prevention Program, and particularly to staff who have learned to recognize and refer
inmates before they make attempts. Rather than focusing on a particular year, it is useful to
monitor trends.
Knowing how often suicide occurs can be helpful because it can make us more sensitive to the
issue. It is also important to know where and with whom the risk is greatest.
Slide 7-8 — Video — Suicide Myths and Facts
Note: The video has no sound. It is the responsibility of the instructor to read the myths and
facts aloud to the audience, if desired. Depending upon the view of the audience, it may not
be necessary to read aloud.
Note: Play video by clicking reel. Video will play automatically if in presentation mode. The
content of the video are below:
Myth: Talking about suicide can cause suicide.
Fact: Talking about suicide does not cause people to think about killing themselves.
Myth: People who are suicidal want to die.
Fact: People who are suicidal do not want to die, they want the pain of living to end.
Myth: Teens die by suicide most often.
Fact: Middle-aged men, ages 40-60, die by suicide more than any other group.
Myth: Suicide rates are highest around Christmas.
Fact: The rate of suicide is fairly consistent throughout the year and slightly peaks in early
spring.

Myth: Suicide occurs without any warning.
Fact: Learning to identify the warning signs of someone who is suicidal can prevent harm.
Myth: Suicide prevention should be left to professionals.
Fact: Anyone can learn how to intervene with someone at risk of suicide.,
Myth: People who are suicidal cannot be stopped.
Fact: Thoughts of suicide can exist for limited amounts of time, but have the abilitiy to re-
occur.
Myth: Not talking about suicide means we are not liable.
Fact: Not discussing suicide does not protect against liability, nor will it prevent a suicide.
Note: End of video. Continue with the lesson.
For much of history suicide has been considered shameful or sinful. The stigma associated with
suicide is slowly lifting and suicide is more commonly being viewed as a behavior associated
with mental illness and emotional pain. However, many myths about suicidal behavior and its
causes remain. It is important to base our decisions about suicide on the facts. Here are
additional common misperceptions and facts about suicide.
•
"If a person decides to commit suicide, he or she will find a way regardless of what we
do." Suicidal impulses are often brief. Most suicidal people have mixed feelings about
dying. The methods available to commit suicide can influence the occurrence and outcome
of suicidal acts.
•
"Asking a person about suicide might give them the idea." Asking about suicidal thoughts
will not result in a suicide. Showing concern will likely assist the inmate. Open dialogue will
assist in identifying problems and attaining help.
•
"Inmates who threaten to kill themselves don't really want to die." Individuals who
threaten suicide are at higher risk. Suicidal intent can change quickly. The lethality of self-
harm acts can be misjudged. Accidental death can occur.
•
"If we ask about suicide and the inmate denies it, we've done our part." There are many
ways individuals may communicate suicidal intent. If individuals could always know and
communicate their own risk, there would be no risk. Psychologists in the Bureau of Prisons
(BOP) are trained to examine all the risk factors and make informed recommendations.

Slide 9— Which Inmates Are At Risk? (Header Slide)
A. At Risk Groups
Note: Discuss the groups of inmates that have the highest risk of suicide in the BOP. If the
institution has any inmates in high risk groups, it is important to personalize this data to the
institution.
Over the years, we have identified only four groups of federal inmates that appear to be at
higher risk for suicide than the general inmate population.
Slide 10 — At-Risk Groups
The four groups are:
1. Pre-trial Inmates
Pretrial inmates are at a higher risk for suicide. Several factors can contribute to the stress level
of these inmates. For example, withdrawal symptoms from the use of drugs or alcohol, fear of
a long sentence, sudden loss of freedom, and/or shame and embarrassment.
2. Mentally III Inmates
The second high risk group is mentally ill inmates. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of the inmates who
died by suicide had a history of or present mental illness.
3. Inmates in Restrictive Housing and Secure Mental Health Housing Units
The third high risk group is inmates in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) who have protective
custody/separation concerns. Historically, one third of all suicides occur in SHU. Many of those
have been in protective custody (PC), and the majority of them killed themselves within the first
72 hours in SHU. Other restrictive housing environments include the Special Management
Units (SMUs), mental health seclusion, the Administrative Maximum Security Facility (ADX), and
Secure Treatment Programs.
4. Sex Offenders
Page 7 of 19
EFTA01688170
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
Although it is a recent trend, sex offenders are also an easily identified group of inmates that
have an increased suicide risk. Their risk is highest at the beginning of their sentence or at the
time of a transfer. They made up forty-one percent (41%) of those inmates who completed
suicide during fiscal year 2014. These inmates are considered to be at higher risk due to the
stigma associated with their charges, many receive lengthy sentences, and many end up in SHU
after requesting protective custody.
B. High Risk Settings
Slide 11— At-Risk Settings
Note: Discuss the location and methods of suicides, generally in the BOP. Be specific about
the locations in your institution which are potential high risk locations.
1. Restrictive Housing
A common location for suicides is a lock down unit, typically in the SHU, SMU, or a psychiatric
seclusion unit in the ADX.
2. Single Cells
Within all units, single cell status raises the risk of inmate suicide more than any other factor.
It is important to minimize the use of single cells when possible, especially for inmates who
have other risk factors present such as mental illness or sex offender status.
With this in mind, double cell all inmates unless there is a compelling reason not to do so.
It reduces isolation, reduces privacy, and provides rescue opportunity. Place at-risk inmates in
higher visibility cells and finally, reduce or eliminate the presence of tie-off points.
3. Private Spaces
There has, however, been a recent trend of more suicides occurring in the general population,
so it is important for staff to be vigilant in all areas. Of those that occurred in the general
population, most occurred in the inmate's cell. The remainder occurred in common inmate
areas such as showers, mop closets, stairs, etc. where the inmate could gain privacy. With that
in mind, important prevention measures include frequent rounds, not allowing inmates to
cover windows, and establishing professional and meaningful relationships.
Note: At this point, ask for questions regarding the material or about responsibilities in
dealing with suicidal inmates.
Page 8 of 19
EFTA01688171
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
To summarize, a disproportionate number of inmate suicides occurred in some type of
restrictive housing or while in a single cell. This finding is consistent with most research findings
on prison suicides and indicates why high risk inmates should not be placed in isolation without
a higher than normal level of monitoring.
C. Methods
Slide 12 - Methods
In the Bureau, inmates also use the most lethal means available to them. Unquestionably,
hanging represents the most frequently chosen and most potentially lethal method of suicide
available to federal inmates' intent on committing suicide. It is important to know that an
inmate can commit suicide by hanging without actually hanging. Death in most cases occurs
because the blood supply in the neck is stopped from reaching the brain. This can happen if an
inmate is standing or even sitting. Loss of consciousness may happen within seven (7) seconds.
Although death takes significantly longer, from this point on, the inmate is no longer able to
save him or herself.
As long as a noose can be tightened enough to stop the blood flow, and it does not take much,
the inmate will slowly lose consciousness; brain cells will begin to stop functioning, and the
inmate will eventually die. Significant brain damage can begin to occur in 4 to 5 minutes.
This is important because even minor attempts or gestures can result in death simply because it
is much easier than many people might think to die in this manner.
A new trend in prison has been overdose. Because of this, the use of "pill line" is a
recommendation for some high risk inmates.
Finally, staff access to firearms in Residential Reentry Centers (RRCs) also increases risk of
death.
Slide 13 — What is Suicide Risk? (Header Slide)
We must stay alert and in touch with the inmates under our supervision and be observant to
detect any behavioral changes that might suggest the possibility of suicide. Next, we will
discuss risk factors and warning signs that may assist you in identifying inmates at risk for
suicide as you work with them throughout the day.
A. Risk Factors
Slide 14 — Risk Factors
Page 9 of 19
EFTA01688172
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
Note: Discuss risk factors. Ask questions as appropriate.
Risk factors are empirically derived from population studies. They tend to be longstanding,
unchangeable and predispose individuals to suicidal behavior. Risk factors cannot determine
the risk level of a particular individual.
SAD PERSONS is a mnemonic device to help staff remember risk factors for suicide.
•
Sex - 73% of US suicides are committed by white males. Men are nearly four (4) times as
likely to die by suicide as are women. 60% of these suicides are by gunshot.
•
Age - Suicide is the third leading cause of death for males between 15-24. Individuals over
the age of 65 are also at significant risk.
•
Depression - 30 - 40% of people who die by suicide are diagnosed with depression.
•
Previous Attempt - Approximately 15% of individuals who have attempted suicide will
eventually complete suicide. Individuals who have made a life threatening attempt are at
greater risk. A recent attempt followed by remorse that the attempt was not successful, is a
warning sign.
•
Ethanol Abuse - Alcohol has been consumed by 15-25% of those who complete suicide and
55% of individuals who attempt suicide. Alcoholics are an especially high risk group in that
15% of them die by suicide or 270/100,000.
•
Rational Thought Loss - Rational thought loss may refer to psychosis- schizophrenia and
depression with psychotic features.
•
Social Support Lacking-This includes limited social support or the recent loss of important
support.
•
No Spouse — No spouse refers to inmates who are separated, divorced, or widowed. Single
individuals are at greater risk.
•
Sickness- Individuals diagnosed with life threatening illnesses are at increased risk.
Medical illness plays a role in 25% of completed suicides and this percentage rises with age.
There are some risk factors specific to inmates that are of special importance. Some indications
that stress factors such as legal problems, sentence length and inmate-related conflicts were
related to increased suicide.
Stress factors include:
•
ongoing legal problems.
•
history of past suicide attempt in custody.
•
lengthy sentences.
•
existence of mental disorder or history of psychiatric treatment.
•
having charges related to a sex offense.

Slide 15 — Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) — Building a Vulnerability
The adverse childhood experiences (ACE) study is a retrospective cohort study of 17,337 adult
HMO members from San Diego who attended a primary care clinic between 1995-1997.
Increasing number of ACE's are associated with illness, death, and poor quality of life. ACEs are
emotional, physical, sexual abuse, battered mother, household substance abuse, mental illness
in household, parental separation/divorce, and/or incarcerated household members.
Experiencing adverse childhood experiences such as emotional, physical, sexual abuse;
household substance abuse; mental illness in the household, etc., is associated with illness,
death and poor quality of life. As the number of ACEs increase so does the risk for suicide. This
reinforces the complex nature of the development of a vulnerability to suicide. Our
interactions are most effective when they focus on reinforcing individual strengths and
facilitating resilience.
Slide 16 — The Perfect Storm
This is a pictorial representation of factors coming together which result in suicidal behaviors
and attempts.
Every individual has specific vulnerabilities. This is why it is so important to have a professional
relationship with and understand inmates. Examples could be poor coping resources,
susceptibility to anxiety, an inability to occupy themselves, not being future oriented, isolated
from family, impulsivity, or any number of other concerns.
The prison setting is an environmental factor that impacts inmates. These include things such
as uncertainty and fear, potential victimization by other inmates, isolation, poor facilities and
breakdown of relationships.
We all experience situational triggers that cause us to resort to old habits or in some cases to
give up. These may include any of the identified factors on the slide. By communicating and
interacting with staff and inmates we can frequently obtain this information. Unfortunately,
these are often seen as just a part of life in prison. How we assist and model dealing with these
things can be the difference between the inmate who resorts to suicide or one who resorts to a
healthier coping skill.

B. Warning Signs
Slide 19 — Warning Signs
A warning sign is a behavior exhibited by some individuals who are considering suicide.
There are a number of warning signs that can be observed in inmates who may be suicidal. It is
important, however, to caution against relying on these behaviors because some inmates who
commit suicide do not show any evidence of this behavior, at least to staff, prior to their death.
So, while behavior is important to be aware of, a number of other factors such as prior
attempts, mood, housing status and mental health history must also be considered at the same
time.
Warning signs are changeable and point to a current suicidal crisis. They suggest near-term
(hours to a few days) risk. Examples include:
•
withdrawal from friends
•
suspiciousness
•
saying "good-bye"
•
giving away property
•
hoarding medications
•
signs of depression
Some of these behaviors are also associated with other special needs inmates who have severe
mental health problems.
If inmates begin to show some of these behaviors, although they may not seem suicidal, it is
important to contact psychology or medical staff and refer the inmate for evaluation.
1. Inmate-Specific Warning Signs
There are some warning signs specific to inmates that we are more likely to see in a
correctional setting. Just as before, it is important to refer inmates exhibiting any of these
behaviors to Psychology Services.
Knowing common symptoms or behaviors of suicidal inmates helps us recognize a potentially
suicidal inmate.
By combining this information with what we know about their history, their current life stress,
and the extent to which they are similar to high-risk inmates who have committed suicide, we
are much more likely to be able to identify and refer those inmates who may be at significant
risk for suicide.
Page 12 of 19
EFTA01688175
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
If an inmate has been referred and the professional staff is aware of their behavior, it is still
important to maintain some regular contact with that inmate to determine if the behavior is
responding satisfactorily to treatment.
If unusual behaviors persist, or get worse, do not hesitate to contact the appropriate staff again
to voice your concerns. Some of these behaviors include the following:
•
A suicidal threat anytime
•
Rehearsal behaviors observed by staff
•
Trying to obtain a single cell
•
Hoarding medication
As mentioned earlier in the session, your responsibility to provide adequate care for inmates
does not stop because the inmate was referred to someone else.
Slide 20 — How Should Staff Respond to the Risk of Inmate Suicide? (Header Slide)
Note: Ask the question. Encourage discussion.
Let's assume an inmate fits the pattern we have just described, and their behavior suggests to
us the potential for suicide.
How should we respond? What precautions should we take?
A. Staff Responsibilities
Slide 21- Four Staff Responsibilities
There are four staff responsibilities when dealing with suicide. They include the following:
•
Recognize warning signs that tell us inmates may be experiencing problems.
•
Communicate concern and empathy to the behavior and take appropriate actions.
•
Respond correctly to those problems.
•
Follow-up and monitor inmates who have been identified and treated.
B. Basic Staff Responses
Slide 22-23 — Video — We Educate for Life
Note: Play video by clicking reel. Video will play automatically if in presentation mode.
Upon completion, ask participants for feedback to the question.
Page 13 of 19
EFTA01688176
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
What are some of the ways to respond to suicidal behavior?
Slide 24 — Four Basic Responses
There are four basic ways to respond to suicidal behavior. They are:
•
Listen and hear.
•
Take thoughts and feelings seriously.
•
Support and affirm.
•
Refer the inmate to the Psychologist, medical professional, shift supervisor, or Lieutenant.
The first three responses are good practices to follow in any situation and using them will
improve your communication skills and be beneficial whether an inmate is suicidal, mentally ill,
or simply wants to talk.
If an inmate talks about suicidal feelings, however, it is important to give your undivided
attention and not to dispute, ignore, or ridicule their claim that they are feeling suicidal.
We should not try to minimize the inmate's statements about thinking of suicide by telling
them not to worry so much, or that many people think of suicide.
Your response to these initial statements or behaviors is very important because it is often the
first time that staff becomes aware of the potentially suicidal inmates. Once you have
identified an inmate as suicidal, it is critical that you respond in a manner that is appropriate,
adequate, and timely.
C. Reducing the Risk of Suicide
Slide 25 - What Works?
The risk of suicide can be reduced. These are some of the ways:
•
Inmate participation in psychotherapy for as few as four sessions.
•
Staff interactions characterized by caring and hope.
•
Ensuring that relationships with inmates are genuine.
•
Training in basic skills (i.e., how to communicate, manage intense feelings, etc.).
•
Investing in meaningful roles (i.e., renewed identities such as parent, employee, etc.)
Slide 26 - What Else Can You Do?
Suicide prevention can be effective. Use the SENTRY assignment of PsycAlert and the
Psychology Advisory List in TRUSCOPE to stay up to date on those inmates who may be at risk.
Page 14 of 19
EFTA01688177
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
Also,
•
Foster hope.
•
Help the person remember times they did not feel suicidal.
•
Foster a belief that times are temporary and things can improve.
•
Help the person experience successes.
•
Limit access to means (i.e., weapons, medications, etc.).
Slide 27 — Suicide Watch Rooms and Procedures
After you have referred the inmate, a psychologist or medical professional will evaluate their
suicide risk using many of the same signs and concepts we have just discussed. If the inmate is
viewed as an acute suicide risk, a Suicide Watch will be initiated.
Note: State the identified location of suicide watches and the time frame for checking on the
inmate. Discuss what staff should and should not do.
A Suicide Watch can last several hours to several days depending on the inmate's intent to
harm him or herself.
A. Suicide Watch Post
1. Inmate Observers
Slide 28 — Inmate Observers
In the BOP, inmate observers may be used to help watch a potentially suicidal inmate. These
inmates will be selected and trained by the Psychology Services staff and will rotate in shifts for
as long as the inmate is on formal Suicide Watch.
Inmate observers are not trained to be therapists or to provide any type of treatment, but
rather, they are only used to observe the potentially suicidal inmate and to immediately inform
staff if the suicidal inmate's actions are inappropriate.
While it is fine for them to talk to the inmate and provide companionship, they are never to be
placed in the cell with the suicidal inmate and they should not be allowed to step outside their
very limited role in dealing with the suicidal inmate.
Note: Indicate whether or not your institution uses inmate observers.
In our institution, we do (do not) use inmate observers.
Page 15 of 19
EFTA01688178
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
In many cases, whether the institution uses the inmate observer program or not, staff may also
be called upon to function on a Suicide Watch. In those cases, you must read the post orders
and should ask the psychologist any questions you may have.
Note: Discuss the specifics of what staff should and should not do when they are assigned to
work a Suicide Watch.
2. Inmate Companions
Slide 29 — Inmate Companions
Inmate Companions are used at many institutions and complement the services that staff
provide. Given their different overall role in the institution, when working as a companion,
adjustments need to be made.
The use of inmate companions must be explicitly approved by the Warden.
Inmate companions may only work a maximum of four (4) hours in any 24-hour period. This
helps them to remain alert and requires that this job assignment is shared amongst a number
of inmates.
When inmate companions are working, they will have a means to summon help. Frequently,
this is a direct line to the Control Center who can alert staff in case of an emergency situation.
Behavioral observations of the inmate on watch will be made in a Suicide Watch log book.
Staff will use this record as a means of assessing the inmate on watch.
Prior to working as an inmate suicide companion, inmates will undergo initial training, then
receive it on a regular basis thereafter. An important element of this training will be to
recognize signs of stress or agitation.
3. Staff Roles
Slide 30 — Staff Roles
1. Your role is simply to be available AT ALL TIMES providing DIRECT OBSERVATION of the
inmate.
2. During your time and on watch, your ONLY responsibility is to watch that identified inmate
and to summon help if the inmate makes a suicide attempt.
3. Consequently, you should NEVER become involved in any other activity, either voluntarily or
by direct order, that does not permit you to observe the inmate at all times.
Page 16 of 19
EFTA01688179
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
4. While you are not responsible for the actions of the inmate, you are responsible for
observing and responding appropriately to those actions. You cannot fulfill that responsibility if
you are not observing the inmate at all times.
5. Policy clearly states that NO ONE except the Suicide Prevention Program Coordinator or
designee has the authority to terminate a suicide watch once it has begun.
6. Even when inmate observers are working, you are still responsible for making hourly rounds.
Following suicide watch, an inmate may be transferred to a medical referral center, or more
typically, returned to general population or other pre-watch status.
Often, other inmates may have heard that the inmate was placed on a suicide watch and
respond in an unfavorable manner that creates more problems and concerns for the inmate.
When an inmate returns to the general population, we should attempt to be supportive and to
help the inmate retain as much dignity as possible. Staff should not share information about an
inmate's emotional problems with other inmates nor express the same type of negative
reactions they are receiving from other inmates.
The risk of suicide is not over simply because the inmate has been removed from Suicide Watch
and returned to population.
4. Local High Risk Inmates
Slide 31— Our High Risk Inmates (Header Slide)
Slide 32 — Name, Register Number (Our High Risk Inmates)
Note: This slide requires modification at the local institution. Please enter the photo and the
requested information. Copy the slide as many times as necessary to accommodate all high
risk inmates at the local level. Review additional local inmates of particular concern.
VIII. SUICIDES OF FY2018
We will now apply knowledge of suicides to actual cases.
Slide 33 — Examples of Inmate Deaths by Suicide FY 2018 (Header Slide)
In order to assist you in applying the information in this presentation, we will review some of
the inmate suicides that occurred in Fiscal Year 2018. As we discuss the cases, please focus on
listening for risk factors and warning signs.
Page 17 of 19
EFTA01688180
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
Note: The presenter should review at least 2-5 of the suicides from the Inmate Suicide Roster
FY18. These should be selected based on similarities between the case and the institution in
which the presentation is being offered, with the goal of identifying relevant risk factors and
warning signs.
Slides 34-37 — FY2018 Inmate Death by Suicide
Note: Present information on each of the selected cases. After overview, ask participants to
identify risk factors.
Slide 38 — Review of Objectives
Now that we have completed the lesson, participants should be able to:
•
Identify common myths and accurate information about suicide.
•
List high risk groups and locations for suicide in their institution.
•
Identify risk factors and warning signs which may identify a potential suicide attempt.
•
State the four basic responses of a staff member who believes an inmate is at risk of suicide.
•
Describe the location of the suicide watch room(s) at their institution and what staff
should/should not do when assigned to work a suicide watch post.
X. SUMMARY
Slide 39 — Summary
Note: Conduct a summary of the important points.
As stated earlier, it is as much our responsibility to provide care and treatment for an inmate's
basic physical and emotional needs as it is to maintain them in custody.
Like the role of custody, the role of providing care does not fall to only a few. If we remain
observant and remember many of the topics discussed in this section, we will not only be
fulfilling our basic correctional responsibilities, but we may be a significant force in preserving a
life that may have been otherwise lost.
In conclusion, each of us has four responsibilities where suicidal inmates are concerned. Those
responsibilities are that we must:
•
be able to recognize the warning signs that tell us inmates may be considering suicide.
•
consider the inner world of these inmates and communicate concern and empathy.
•
be able to respond correctly to the behavior and take the appropriate precautions.
Page 18 of 19
EFTA01688181
Presentation
Instructor Notes
- ANNUAL TRAINING 2019 -
•
follow-up on and monitor inmates who have been identified and referred.
Thank you for your attention and participation today. Just as your input has helped me in this
presentation, the Bureau's continued success with the Suicide Prevention Program depends on
your daily participation and involvement.
Note: Ask for any final questions. Encourage discussion.

OF
I, JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN, a resident and domiciliary of St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands,
do make, publish and declare this to be my Will hereby revoking all prior Wills and Codicils made
by me.
1:
I direct my Executor to pay from my estate all expenses of
my last illness, my funeral and burial expenses, the administration expenses of my estate and all of
my debts duly proven and allowed against my estate.
A.
I direct my Executor to pay from my estate, as compensation
to each Executor for serving as Executor hereunder, the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000) to each Executor upon the completion of probate of my estate. No Executor
shall receive any other compensation for serving as Executor hereunder; provided, however, that
my Executor shall be reimbursed from my estate for all reasonable costs, expenses, charges, and
liabilities incurred or paid in respect thereto, including fees and expenses of counsel or any other
agents hired by my Executor, and my Executor shall not be liable therefor individually.
B.
I direct my Executor to pay from my estate the federal and
state transfer taxes described in Paragraph B(1) of Article SEVENTH.
C.
I direct my Executor to pay from my estate all expenses of
storing, insuring, packing, shipping and delivering my tangible personal property in accordance with
the provisions of Article SECOND.
2:
I give all of my property, real and personal, wherever situated, after
the payments and distributions provided in Article FIRST, to the then acting Trustees of The 1953
Trust ("Trust") created under that certain Trust Agreement of The 1953 Trust (the "Trust
Agreement") dated August 8, 2019, as the same may be amended from time to time, to be held in
accordance with the provisions comprising the Trust Agreement at the time of my death.
3:
I appoint DARREN IC INDYKE and RICHARD D.
KAHN to serve as the Executors of this Will. If any one or more of my Executors fails to qualify, is
unable or unwilling to serve or ceases to act, I appoint BORIS NIKOLIC, as successor Executor. If
any successor Executor fails to qualify, is unable or unwilling to serve or ceases to act, I authorize
the last acting Executor to designate his or her successor. Such designation shall be made by
written instrument delivered to such designated successor Executor.
A.
If my estate must be administered in whole or in part in any
jurisdiction other than the state or territory of my domicile at the date of my death, and if my
Executor is unable or unwilling to serve in such jurisdiction, then I appoint the successor Executor
of my estate designated in Paragraph A of Article THIRD as successor Executor in such
EFTA01688194
Last Will & Testament of Jeffrey E. Epstein
Page 2 of 11
jurisdiction only, provided that he or she is able and willing to serve in such jurisdiction. If no
Executor or successor Executor is able and willing to serve in such jurisdiction, my Executor shall
designate a successor Executor to serve in such jurisdiction. Such designation shall be made by
written instrument delivered to such successor Executor.
B.
No bond or other security shall be required of any Executor
in any jurisdiction.
C.
Any Executor may resign in the manner provided for by the
governing statutes of the state or territory having jurisdiction of the administration of my estate or
in the absence of such statutory guidance, by filing a written notice of resignation with the Court
having jurisdiction of the administration of my estate. Any Executor who resigns shall not be
entitled to any compensation hereunder for any services rendered as Executor prior to his or her
resignation.
D.
My Executor shall not be accountable or responsible to any
person interested in my estate for the manner in which my Executor in good faith exercises or
declines to exercise any discretionary authority or power of my Executor. My Executor shall not be
liable for any loss or depreciation in value occasioned by reason of any negligence, error or mistake
of judgment in entering into any transaction, in making any sale or investment, in continuing to
hold any property or by reason of any action or omission, whether by my Executor or any other
fiduciary, unless my Executor has acted in bad faith. In the absence of proof by affirmative
evidence to the contrary, each Executor shall be deemed to have acted within the scope of my
Executor's authority, to have exercised reasonable carc, diligence and prudence and to have acted
impartially as to all interested persons. An Executor shall not be liable for the acts or defaults of
another Executor.
4:

Executor, except as is otherwise specifically provided in this Will:

my estate. My Executor has the power to do everything my Executor in good faith deems advisable

Executor shall exercise my Executor's best judgment and discretion for what my Executor believes
to be in the best interests of the beneficiaries hereunder. Except as otherwise specifically provided
in this Will, if two Executors are empowered to participate in the decision to exercise or not to
exercise any fiduciary power granted by this Will or by law, such decision shall be made by such
Executors acting unanimously. If more than two Executors arc empowered to participate in the
decision to exercise or not exercise any fiduciary power granted by this Will or by law, a majority of
such Executors shall be empowered to make such decision.

E.
An Executor hereunder may by a written notice delivered to

F.
If an Executor is not empowered (because of a conflict of
6
EFTA01688199
Last Will & Testament of Jeffrey E. Epstein
Page 7 of 11
interest, declination to act or otherwise) to participate in the decision to exercise or not exercise any
fiduciary power granted by this Will or by law, then the remaining Executor shall be empowered to
make such decision. If no Executor is empowered to participate in such decision, then the
successor Executor of my estate designated in Paragraph A of Article THIRD and able and willing
to act shall be empowered to make such decision. If no Executor or successor Executor is
empowered to participate in such decision, my Executor may designate a successor Executor to
serve as Executor of my estate who shall be empowered to make such decision but shall have no
other power or authority of my Executor. Such designation shall be by written notice delivered to
such successor Executor.
G.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Paragraph G(1) of this Article, and except as provided in Paragraph G(2) of this Article, my

financial instrument originally issued or acquired at a discount equal to the amount which (a) has
previously been characterized as ordinary income for income tax purposes or (b) will be
characterized as ordinary income for income tax purposes in the year of such sale, as income for
trust accounting purposes.
5:
Where a party to any proceeding with respect to my estate has the
same interest as a person under a disability, it shall not be necessary to serve legal process on the
person under a disability.
6:
If any beneficiary under the Trust shall in any way directly or
indirectly (a) contest or object to the probate of my Will or to the validity of any disposition or
provision of my Will or of the Trust or (b) institute or prosecute, or be in any way directly or
indirectly instrumental in the institution or prosecution of, any action, proceeding, contest,
objection or claim for the purpose of setting aside or invalidating my Will or the Trust or any
disposition therein or provision thereof, then I direct that (a) any and all provisions in the Trust for
such beneficiary and his issue in any degree shall be null and void and (b) my estate, whether
passing under my Will or the Trust or pursuant to. the laws of intestacy, shall be disposed of as if
such beneficiary and his issue in any degree had all failed to survive me.

Page 8 of 11
successor or successors to that office. The term "Trustee" means all persons or entities who occupy

that person's estate which is subject to probate administration. A reference to a person's Will means
such person's Last Will and Testament and any Codicil or Codicils thereto.
(2)
The term "IRC section" means a section of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the corresponding provision of any successor
Internal Revenue law, as in effect as of the date of my death.
(3)
A reference to any tax also includes any
interest or penalties thereon. A reference to a person's "Gross Estate" means such person's gross

respect to all assets which pass under this Will or the Trust Agreement. Subject to Paragraph B(2)
of this Article, all federal estate taxes with respect to assets not passing under this Will or the Trust
Agreement (such assets are referred to as the "Apportionment Assets') and any applicable state
estate taxes with respect to the Apportionment Assets shall be apportioned among all persons
interested in the Apportionment Assets. My Executor shall make reasonable efforts to collect all

allocable to such assets.
(1)
My Executor has discretion to direct the
Trustee of the Trust Agreement to pay all or any portion of the taxes which my Executor is directed

Executor directs the Trustee under the Trust Agreement to pay shall be allocated and paid from the
trusts under the Trust Agreement as provided under the Trust Agreement.

Det.
and I spoke with Dr. Roman, with Florence Hutner (OCME — Chief Legal Counsel).
Dr. Roman is not able to provide an estimate regarding a time of death. JE was found 24 hours before the
autopsy was conducted, and once there has been that much of a lapse, determining the time of death becomes
inaccurate. It is sometimes determinable within a 24-hour period. She does not know what conditions he was
held in the entire period before the autopsy, including temperature and refrigeration.
Textbooks are not precise with respect to the onset of full rigormortis, some estimate that it begins within 2-8
hours of death and reaches its maximum 8-24 hours of death, but she is not comfortable estimating given the
wide range even in textbooks. Also, what the person did before they died (medications, age, etc) and conditions
of the body can effect rigor.
Most EMTs will not intubate when rigor has set in because they cannot get the mouth open.
Hyoid bone breaks are more common in hangings with older victims because the bone is more brittle and
calcified.
In strangulations, would expect to see a fracture in the center of the hyoid bone because the biomechanics are
pressure on both sides. In hangings, would expect to see a fracture at the end of the bone as the fracture occurs
when the bone is pushed back and up against the spine, which is a stronger bone.
JE's hyoid was broken at the end, which is much more consistent with a hanging. Feels confident that it was a
hanging by suicide. This fracture pattern is common in hangings. Has conducted hundreds of hanging
autopsies.

INTRODUCTION
1.
On or about August 10, 2019, TOVA NOEL and MICHAEL
THOMAS, the defendants, in dereliction of their duties as
correctional officers at the Metropolitan Correctional Center
("MCC"), repeatedly failed to perform mandated counts of prisoners
under their watch in the MCC's Special Housing Unit ("SHU").
Instead, for substantial portions of their shifts, NOEL and THOMAS
sat at their desk, browsed the internet, and moved around the
common area of the SHU. To conceal their failure to perform their
duties, NOEL and THOMAS repeatedly signed false certifications
attesting to having conducted multiple counts of inmates when, in
truth and in fact, they never conducted such counts. As a result
of those false statements, the MCC believed prisoners in the SHU
were being regularly monitored and accounted for when in fact, as
a result of the defendants' conduct, no correctional officer
conducted any count or round of the SHU from approximately 10:30
EFTA01688213
p.m. on August 9 until approximately 6:30 a.m. on August 10, at
which time, as alleged herein, NOEL and THOMAS discovered the body
of an MCC inmate, Jeffrey Epstein, who had committed suicide
overnight while unobserved.
2.
The MCC is a federal administrative detention
facility located in Manhattan that is run by the Federal Bureau of
Prisons ("BOP").
The MCC is one of several facilities used to
house inmates who have been charged with federal crimes in the
Southern District of New York and are awaiting trial.
The MCC
employs correctional officers, whose primary duty is to ensure the
care, custody, and control of the inmate population of the MCC.
3.
TOVA NOEL, the defendant, has been employed as a
correctional officer at the MCC since approximately 2016. As of
August 2019, NOEL's primary assignment was the SHU. On August 9,
2019, NOEL worked a regular shift from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. in the
SHU, and then worked an overtime shift from 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. on
August 10, 2019, also in the SHU. NOEL had also worked a regular
shift in the SHU the day before, August 8, 2019, from 12 p.m. to
8 p.m.
4.
MICHAEL THOMAS, the defendant, has been employed as
a correctional officer at the MCC since approximately 2007.
Beginning in approximately 2013, THOMAS was assigned to work as a
2
EFTA01688214
materials handler supervisor, although THOMAS regularly worked
overtime shifts as a correctional officer, including in the SHU.
THOMAS worked an overtime shift in the SHU on August 10, 2019,
from 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. THOMAS did not work his regular shift on
August 8 or August 9, 2019, but did work an overtime shift in the
SHU on August 9, 2019 from 12 a.m. to 8 a.m.
5.
As
detailed
herein,
Jeffrey
Epstein
was
incarcerated at the MCC between his arrest on July 6, 2019, and
his suicide on August 10, 2019.
Epstein was detained pending
trial in the Southern District of New York on sex trafficking
charges.
6.
The MCC, which houses approximately 750 inmates at
any given time, assigns inmates to various housing units within
the MCC. The SHU is a housing unit within the MCC where inmates
are securely separated from the general inmate population to ensure
their own safety as well as the safety of staff and other inmates.
The SHU is located on the ninth floor of the MCC, and access to
that floor is controlled by a locked door that can be opened
remotely only by an officer in the MCC's centralized control center
(the "Control Center"), which is located on the first floor of the
MCC. Access into the SHU is also controlled by a second locked
door to which only correctional officers assigned to the SHU have
3
EFTA01688215
keys while on duty. Within the SHU, inmates are assigned to six
separate tiers, each of which can be accessed only via a single
locked door to which the correctional officers assigned to the SHU
have keys while on duty. Each tier has eight cells, each of which
can house either one or two prisoners, and each individual cell
which is made of cement and metal - is accessed only through a
single locked door, to which only correctional officers assigned
to the SHU have keys while on duty.
7.
The BOP requires correctional officers assigned to
guard inmates at the MCC to conduct institution-wide counts of
inmates at regular, scheduled intervals to ensure that each inmate
is alive and accounted for within the MCC (the "institutional
count"). On weekdays, the MCC conducts five institutional counts
at 4 p.m., 10 p.m., 12 a.m., 3 a.m., and 5 a.m.
Performing an
institutional count is one of the most basic and essential aspects
of a correctional officer's job, and the count is one of the most
basic and essential functions of daily operation of the MCC. Two
officers are required to perform the institutional count for each
housing unit, including the SHU, and are further required to
document their performance of the count on an official MCC form
called a count slip. To perform the institutional count in the
SHU, two officers must walk from tier to tier to observe and count
each individual inmate.
4
EFTA01688216
8. On the count slip, both correctional officers are
required to fill in the date and time the count was performed,
write the total number of inmates physically present in the unit
counted, and then sign the count slip.
Once the correctional
officers have completed and signed the count slips, the count slips
are then collected and delivered to the Control Center, where
officers within the Control Center are responsible for comparing
the count slips from each housing unit to the institution's inmate
roster to ensure that each inmate is accounted for.
Only after
all the count slips are collected from each housing unit, and the
numbers on the slips are matched to the institution's inmate
roster, can the institutional count be deemed "cleared" or
completed.
If a housing unit's count slip is incorrect or
incomplete, then the institution cannot "clear" the count.
Instead, the count must be completely redone in that housing unit
via a more-intensive version of the institutional count called a
"bed book count," in which officers must compare every individual
inmate to the institution's inmate roster.
Records of each
institutional count, including the count slips, are provided to a
supervising official and retained by the MCC.
9.
In addition to the institutional count, the BOP
requires correctional officers assigned to the SHU to walk each of
the tiers of the SHU - which is called a "round" - every thirty
5
EFTA01688217
minutes ("30-minute rounds").
Like the institutional counts,
correctional officers conduct 30-minute rounds to ensure that each
inmate is alive and accounted for within his cell. Correctional
officers working in the SHU are required to complete a form, which
is reviewed and signed by their supervisor, documenting the date
and time of each 30-minute round in each tier of the SHU.
EPSTEIN'S PRIOR APPARENT SUICIDE ATTEMPT
10. On July 6, 2019, inmate Jeffrey Epstein was
arrested and detained at the MCC on sex trafficking charges. On
July 10, 2019, Epstein was assigned to the SHU due to, among other
things, risk factors for suicidality and safety concerns relating
to housing him with the MCC's general population.
11. On July 23, 2019, while Epstein was housed in the
SHU, MCC officers responded to an emergency call, and found Epstein
on the floor of his cell with a strip of bedsheet around his neck.
MICHAEL THOMAS, the defendant, was one of the MCC officers who
responded to the incident. Epstein was subsequently transferred
out of the SHU and was placed on suicide watch.
Inmates placed
on suicide watch are housed in a cell on the hospital wing floor
of the MCC, and are watched twenty-four hours a day by a staff
member or a specially trained inmate companion.
12. Epstein remained on suicide watch for approximately
twenty-four hours, and then was transferred to psychological
6
EFTA01688218
observation, until July 30, 2019.
Psychological observation is
less restrictive than suicide watch, but inmates are still housed
in the hospital wing of the MCC and watched twenty-four hours a
day.
13. On July 30, 2019, Epstein was transferred back to
the SHU, and, at the direction of the MCC's psychological staff,
was required to have an assigned cellmate.
Epstein was also
assigned to the cell closest to the correctional officers' desk in
the common area of the SHU, which was approximately fifteen feet
from the cell. Conducting the required institutional counts and
thirty-minute rounds in the SHU were also part of the MCC's
procedures for ensuring the safety of inmates, including Epstein.
EVENTS OF AUGUST 9-10, 2019
14. On
August
9,
2019,
Epstein's
cellmate
was
transferred out of the MCC in a routine, pre-arranged transfer at
approximately 8 a.m.
Despite the MCC's psychological staff's
direction that Epstein have a cellmate, no new cellmati was
assigned to Epstein's cell.
15. TOVA NOEL, the defendant, was one of the assigned
officers on duty in the SHU from 4 p.m. on August 9, 2019 to 8
a.m. on August 10.
From 4 p.m. to 12 a.m., two other officers
were on duty with NOEL in the SHU: one officer was assigned to
work from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. ("Officer-1"), and one officer was
7
EFTA01688219
assigned to work from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. ("Officer-2"). MICHAEL
THOMAS, the defendant, started his shift in the SHU at 12 a.m. on
August 10. From 12 a.m. until 8 a.m. on August 10, NOEL and THOMAS
were the only two officers on duty in the SHU.
16. During the time period from 4 p.m. on August 9 to
8 a.m. on August 10, the officers on duty in the SHU, including
TOVA NOEL and MICHAEL THOMAS, the defendants, were responsible for
conducting five institutional counts: 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. on August
9; and 12 a.m., 3 a.m., and 5 a.m. on August 10. NOEL, THOMAS and
the other officers on duty were also responsible for completing
paperwork attesting to each of those counts. While, as detailed
herein, count slips were completed for each institutional count,
in fact, not a single one of those institutional counts was done.
17. TOVA NOEL, the defendant, and Officer-1 were
responsible for conducting the 4 p.m. institutional count in the
SHU. As video from the MCC's internal video surveillance system
makes clear, NOEL and Officer-1 did not perform the 4 p.m. count.
Nonetheless; NOEL and Officer-1 completed and signed a count slip
that falsely stated that the 4 p.m. institutional count had been
performed.
In reliance on that falsified count slip, at
approximately 5:03 p.m., the Control Center cleared the 4 p.m.
count.
8
EFTA01688220
18. That evening, Epstein returned to the SHU from his
attorney visit and was escorted into his cell by TOVA NOEL, the
defendant, and another officer at approximately 7:49 p.m.
NOEL
and the other officer left the tier in which Epstein was housed
immediately thereafter.
19. By or before 10 p.m., all inmates in the MCC were
locked in their cells for the night. At or around that time, TOVA
NOEL, the defendant, and Officer-2 were responsible for conducting
the 10 p.m. institutional count in the SHU. However, video from
the MCC's internal video surveillance system shows that NOEL and
Officer-2 did not perform the 10 p.m. count.
Nonetheless, NOEL
and Officer-2 completed and signed a count slip falsely stating
that the 10 p.m. institutional count had been performed.
In
reliance on that falsified count slip, at approximately 10:36 p.m.,
the Control Center cleared the 10 p.m. count.
20. As reflected on video obtained from the MCC's
internal video surveillance system, at approximately 10:30 p.m. on
August 9, 2019 - after TOVA NOEL, the defendant, had signed and
submitted the 10 p.m. count slip and the institutional count had
been completed - NOEL briefly walked up to, and then walked back
from, the door to the tier in which Epstein was housed.
As
confirmed by the video obtained from the MCC's internal video
surveillance system, this was the last time anyone, including any
9
EFTA01688221
correctional officer, walked up to, let alone entered, the only
'entrance to the tier in which Epstein
was housed until
approximately 6:30 a.m. on August 10.
21. Officer-1's shift ended at approximately 10 p.m.,
and at approximately 12 a.m., MICHAEL THOMAS, the defendant,
replaced Officer-2, joining TOVA NOEL, the defendant, as the only
two correctional officers on duty in the SHU.
NOEL and THOMAS
were responsible for conducting the 12 a.m. institutional count in
the SHU.
As confirmed by video from the MCC's internal video
surveillance system, NOEL and THOMAS did not perform the 12 a.m.
count. Nonetheless, NOEL and THOMAS completed and signed a count
slip for the 12 a.m. count that falsely stated that the
institutional count had been performed.
In reliance on that
falsified count slip, at approximately 12:49 a.m., the Control
Center cleared the 12 a.m. count.
22. TOVA NOEL and MICHAEL THOMAS, the defendants, were
additionally responsible for conducting the 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.
institutional counts in the SHU. As confirmed by video from the
MCC's internal video surveillance system, NOEL and THOMAS did not
perform either the 3 a.m. or the 5 a.m. counts. NOEL and THOMAS
nonetheless completed and signed count slips for both counts that
falsely stated that they had performed the 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.
institutional counts. In reliance on those falsified count slips,
10
EFTA01688222
•
at approximately 3:24 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., the Control Center
cleared the 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. counts, respectively.
23. Moreover, despite the requirement that officers on
duty in the SHU conduct and document regular, 30-minute rounds,
TOVA NOEL and MICHAEL THOMAS, the defendants, did not perform any
of the required 30-minute rounds during their shift between
approximately 12 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Nonetheless, NOEL completed
and signed more than 75 separate 30-minute round entries falsely
affirming that they had, in fact, conducted such rounds.
24. During the night, instead of completing the
required counts and rounds, TOVA NOEL and MICHAEL THOMAS, the
defendants, were seated at the correctional officers' desk in the
SHU common area (as noted above, approximately 15 feet from
Epstein's cell), used the computers, and moved around the SHU
common area.
For a period of approximately two hours, NOEL and
THOMAS sat at their desk without moving, and appeared to have been
asleep. NOEL used the computer periodically throughout the night,
including to search the internet for furniture sales and benefit
websites. THOMAS used the computer briefly around 1 a.m., 4 a.m.,
and 6 a.m. to search for motorcycle sales and sports news.
25. At approximately 4 a.m., the overnight supervisor
briefly visited NOEL and THOMAS in the SHU, and conferred with
NOEL and THOMAS, who were seated at and around the officers' desk,
11
EFTA01688223
before leaving. At approximately 5:30 a.m., another correctional
officer briefly walked through the SHU common area.
Aside from
those two officers, as confirmed by video surveillance, no one
else entered the SHU, no one conducted any counts or rounds
throughout the night, and no one entered the tier in which Epstein
was housed.
26. Shortly after 6 a.m. on August 10, 2019, MICHAEL
THOMAS and TOVA NOEL, the defendants, received a delivery of
breakfast carts into the SHU, after which time they were again the
only officers in the SHU. Shortly after 6:30 a.m., NOEL and THOMAS
walked up to and
serve breakfast.
activated in the
entered the tier in which Epstein was housed to
At approximately 6:33 a.m., an alarm was
SHU.
Epstein was alone in his cell and not
responsive, with a noose around his neck.
A supervisor who had
just started his shift ("Supervisor-1") responded to the alarm
almost immediately thereafter, and as NOEL approached the door to
the SHU to open the door for Supervisor-1, NOEL told Supervisor-1
that "Epstein hung himself."
After arriving in the SHU,
Supervisor-1 spoke with THOMAS and NOEL. NOEL told Supervisor-1
"we did not complete the 3 a.m. nor 5 a.m. rounds." THOMAS stated,
"we messed up," and "I messed up, she's not to blame, we didn't do
any rounds."
12
EFTA01688224
27. Epstein was transferred to a local hospital where
he was declared dead shortly thereafter. The Office of the Chief
Medical Examiner of the City of New York conducted an autopsy and
determined that Epstein had committed suicide by hanging himself.

interviewed MCC Warden
this evening.
•
Masked what happens if the institutional count is not performed or if the count is wrong. Warden
said
that it is accurate that if a count slip is not turned in or is false, and the count doesn't match the roster, the MCC
must then do a bed book count. If a housing unit has a bad count, then they will say "do a re-count" with the
bed book, ID cards, roster, etc., and go cell to cell to see if someone is missing or if there was a counting error.
•
Warden
doesn't believe the entire institution would have to do a full institution count; just the specific
housing unit. However, if a unit fails a bed book count more than once, then they'd do a whole institution
count.
•
Warden
has never been part of a whole institution bed book count. He has also never been part of an
institution that didn't clear account. But the Warden stated that if an institutional count did not clear, and a bed
book count had not resolved the issue, the warden would be notified of what inmate was missing and alerted of
a potential escape. The Warden would then notify regional director.

Interview of Federal Bureau of Prisons Senior Officer Specialist
On September 12, 2019, Assistant United States Attorney
U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Special Agen
and SSgent
interviewed Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Senior Officer Specialist (SOS)
at the United States Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York, 1 Saint Andrews Plaza,
New York, New York 10007. The purpose of this interview was to address the events surrounding the
death of Jeffrey Epstein, Register Number 76318-054 and the actions of MCC staff members leading up
to and subsequent to the death.
was advised that the interview was voluntary and could be
terminated at any time.
was provided with OIG Form II1-22612 (Warnings and Assurances to
Employee Requested to Provide Information on a Voluntary Basis), which he reviewed and signed.
During his voluntary interview,
provided the following substantive information:
stated he began working as a Correctional Officer with the BOP in approximately 2005 or 2006
and spent his entire career at MCC New York.
stated he was promoted to his current rank of
SOS in approximately 2009. Prior to working for the BOP,
served in the United States Army and
worked for the Transportation Security Administration.
continues to serve in the United States
Army Reserve as a Flight Instructor- Master Trainer and performs military orders frequently.
According to M,
he is currently assigned to Morning Watch Overnight, Unit 2, which he described
as a female unit. He also has multiple collateral duties, including the Disturbance Control Team and the
Mentorship Program. He also serves as a Lead Control Tactics Instructor.
stated he was assigned
to the Special Housing Unit (SHU) Day Watch (8am — 4pm) from Monday to Friday.
added he
opted to transfer to Day Watch that quarter because he was able to perform overtime while on Da
Watch and still get weekends off. The schedule also worked well with his military orders.
stated
the only assignment available with weekends off that quarter was the SHU Day Watch, which he
accepted.
stated he worked in the SHU in the past, but prior to this most recent SHU assignment he worked
the overnight shift for approximately 5-6 years and was not assigned to the SHU during that time. When
he first began working at MCC New York,
stated he was assigned to the SHU, a typical post
assignment for new officers, for a few months. After he rotated off that assignment, he stated he only
worked in the SHU when he was providing coverage, when they were short-staffed, or if he responded
to a use of force incidents.

stated officers assigned to the SHU on the weekends were responsible for taking institutional
counts at 4pm, 10pm, 12am, 3am, and 5am. He added he did not work the weekend shift so he did not
perform these counts. The Day Shift, which he was assigned to, performed 30 minute rounds.
explained the counts are supposed to be completed every 30 minutes, but within a 40 minute time
period. He described Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays as "shower days", where the inmates are
escorted to a shower at the end of the tier. He added MCC New York SHU does not have showers in the
cells so inmates have to be restrained, escorted to the shower, restrained again upon completion of their
shower, and escorted back to their cell.
described this process as time-consuming and stated it
can affect the ability to perform the 30 minutes counts. He added the checks are being performed
because officers have contact with the inmates throughout this process and they conduct counts as
scheduled once the showers are completed. He added the Recreation Officers also constantly pull
inmates out of their cells to take them to the 12th Floor to for their one hour of recreation time, which
also affects the ability to perform traditional counts as expected.
According to M,
the 30 minute counts are conducted as required on Tuesdays and Thursdays
because showers are not offered those days.
further added he did not believe it would be possible
to perform 30 minute rounds as scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fric
due to all of the
inmate movement and the current staffing levels at MCC New York, which
described as
"abysmal".
When asked to describe the process for filling out the times of the forms documenting the 30 minute
counts,
stated you are supposed to fill out the form as you are completing the round so you
accurately record the time. He added that on shower days, he fills the form out when he gets the inmate
out of the cell to transport him to the shower because he has visual contact with the inmate at that time.
stated he also fills out the form when he responds to inmate's cells for complaints or things of
that nature. He clarified the times may not exactly reflect 30 minutes, but he fills out the forms as he see
the inmates.
added he cannot comment on how other staff members perform the counts or fill out
the logs.
stated a comparison of the cameras to the 30 minute logs for his quarterly assignment to the SHU
would reveal that the log sheet is posted at the end of the tier on occasion and other times the log is
maintained at the desk by the officer's station.
stated when the log is maintained at the desk, the
officers would write things down and fill out the form to "catch up" after the checks were completed
instead of filling it out as the checks were being done. He stated the forms are filled out after the fact
because it is hectic and the officers don't have the logs with them while completing the checks. He
added that, on occasion, some people would fill out the logs without completing the checks.
stated he does not agree with this practice because that is not how things are supposed to be done.
added there are times the sheets have not been posted on the tiers and are not filled out accurately and
times they are filled out accurately. He stated the camera footage should show both instances.
According to,
he tried not to fill out the log sheets if he didn't actually perform the checks. He
stated he would fill out the log sheet when it was maintained on the desk if he moved someone for the

shower or performed the rounds.
added if he noticed the log sheet had not been filled out for a
period of time or he wasn't there during that time, he won't sign it.
opined leadership at MCC New York is aware of how difficult it is for staff members to perform
the 30 minutes rounds due to staffing shorts es and other manpower issues, to include additional

stated staff members shared their concerns with
Captain
but nothing changed. He added he was not present at any of the meetings where the
information was presented to Captain

during his three month rotation on the SHU assignment, he was on military orders
for approximately half of that time cumulatively.
alined he performed two week military
orders but had several sets of orders during that quarter.
was at MCC New York during the
period leading up to the death of Epstein, however.
On August 9, 2019,
stated he worked overtime on the midnight shift, which ran from 12am on
Thursday to 8am on Friday. He performed this overtime on unit 11-South and worked this shift alone.
stated he was relieved late, at ahaimately 8:40am, and didn't arrive to his scheduled shift on
the SHU until approximately 8:45am.
stated Epstein had already been escorted to the attorney
conference room by the time he arrived at the SHU to begin his shift. According to =,
Epstein never
returned to the SHU during his shift. At approximately 3:30pm,
checked to see if Epstein was
still in the attorney conference room and received confirmation Epstein was still in the area. Epstein was
in the attorney conference room for all counts that took place during
shift.
stated Epstein
did not return to the SHU prior to being relieved at 4:00pm and reiterated he did not see Epstein at all
during his shift that Friday.
stated he believed Epstein stayed in the attorney conference room
until late Friday night.
When asked about Epstein's cellmate, Efrain Reyes, Register Number 85993-054,
stated Reyes
was gone when he reported to his shift at the SHU at 8:45am and did not return nor to bein relieved at
4:00pm.
reiterated he never saw Reyes that Friday.
added SOS
may have
told him that Reyes left the SHU.
clarified he knew Reyes was not in his cell, but he did not
know Reyes was released from custody. He stated he never saw the court list that day to know if Reyes
was on it and stated just because an inmate was not in their cell, it does not mean they are actually
leaving MCC New York. He stated it is not uncommon for inmates to be gone from their cell all day and
then return later that evening.
stated the most he knew was Reyes left the unit, but he did not
know where Reyes went when he left the unit or that he was not returning.
According to,
when he called to see if Epstein was returning to the SHU for count, no one told
him Reyes was not coming back. He clarified that no one told him Reyes was not coming back and that
a
in needed a new cellmate.
reiterated that no one, including Captain 1=1, Lieutenant
the Psychology Department, or SOS
told him Epstein needed a new cellmate.
When
left his shift at 4pm, Correctional Officer

added he did not see most of the officers on the next shift because he left as soon as he completed his
turnover with
believed Noel waarosed to come in for the next shift but he does not
know who else was supposed to be working.
stated he relayed to
that Epstein was still
down at the attorney conference room and that there were a few inmate showers that had to be
tom,
because they were unable to finish them during the 8am to 4pm shift.
stated he also
told
what the inmate count should be.
could not recall if he passed
any information
about Reyes.
added his focus was providing information about Epstein because he was "high
profile".
stated he was on military orders in July 2019 and learned about Epstein's initial suicide attempt
upon his return to MCC New York after completing his orders.
added he did not know Epstein
was removed from suicide watch until after his death. He reiterated again that no one informed him
Epstein required a new cellmate. He elaborated SOS
never told him Reyes was being released
and Epstein required a new cellmate. Additionally,
never saw a memorandum drafted by SOS
dictating he provided the information about Reyes and Epstein to
added if
someone wrote a memorandum stating they told
that Epstein required a cellmate it would be
false.
stated if he was made aware that Epstein required a new cellmate, he would have followed
direction and ensured Epstein received one.
stated if a fellow officer told him Epstein required a
new cellmate, he would have confirmed this information with his leadership and then he would have
assigned a new cellmate to Epstein.
added it would not have been difficult to find a new cellmate
for Epstein.
repeated that if he was made aware by lead,
that Epstein required a new
cellmate he would have made it happen, but no one told him.
stated it did not matter who the
inmate was, if he is told an inmate needs a cellmate, he ensures the inmate receives a cellmate because
when they are told an inmate requires a cellmate, it is for a reason.
When asked about his interactions with Epstein,
stated he didn't really interact with Epstein. He
stated he escorted him to the attorney conference room on one occasion but he didn't really talk to him.
He stated he always got Epstein what he needed, such as socks, like he did with any other inmate at
MCC New York.

Re: Autopsy Report and File for Jeffrey Epstein
Dear Ms. Butner:
As you are aware, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New
York ("USAO") and the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") are conducting an ongoing
criminal investigation into the events related to Mr. Epstein's August 10, 2019 suicide at the
Metropolitan Correctional Center ("MCC") (the "Criminal Investigation"). As you are also aware,
between August 10, 2019, and August 16, 2019, at OCME's request and in order to assist OCME
in determining the cause and manner of Mr. Epstein's death, the USAO and FBI gave OCME
access to certain materials and information gathering during the Criminal Investigation.
As discussed by phone, while the OCME autopsy is now complete, the Criminal
Investigation remains ongoing. As such, and in order to avoid compromising the Criminal
Investigation, we request that OCME withhold from disclosure to any third party any documents,
evidence or information made available to OCME by the USAO or FBI—including documents,
records, or materials from the MCC—or created by OCME or within the OCME case file that
include, reflect, or contain information made available to OCME by the USAO or FBI. We also
request that you withhold from any disclosure the names and identifying information of any federal
law enforcement agents or employees who were interviewed by the OCME, along with the
substance of any statements or interviews made by those agents or employees.

We appreciate your willingness to comply with this request. Should you decide at any
future point, notwithstanding this request, to produce any of the above-referenced material to any
third party, we request that you notify us before you do so, so that we may seek additional process.
Please contact us with any further questions.
Very truly yours,
