MR. : No. I don’t review any medical files.

MS. : And he came back to the SHU on the 30th, is that right?

MR. : Uh, yes.

MS. : Okay.

MR. : Um-hum.

MS. : And what discussions did you have, let’s start with Dr. , about the conditions of his confinement in the SHU?

MR. : She just said to get him in, you know, we’re going to put him, get him a cellmate because typically every inmate that, you know, is on suicide or whatever, we say, okay, we’re going to give him a cellmate. So, that was when we went through the process of figuring out, okay, who could we possibly put him in with? Um, the pickings were slim.

So, I came up with Tartaglione, and no wait, no. Tartaglione, he had been put down there originally because of Tartaglione.

MS. : Um-hum.

MR. : So, what happened was, we had to come up with some more inmates. So, I came up with three. It was, I believe, Reyes,

you have the contractor workers. Everyone, despite the fact that you might have a different job title, you know how to perform the functions of a Correctional Officer. You have to qualify with weapons every year. You take training on working the housing units, and the majority of them weren't hired off the street as into their positions. There might be a few. But the majority were Correctional Officers and then promoted into the different positions.

So, we have annual refresher training every year where we train and move on like that. But that's just not, it's not their primary discipline, being a Correctional Officer.

MR. : You said all staff are trained as Corrections Officers?

MR. : The terminology is you're Correctional workers.

MR. : Okay.

MR. : So, you know how to perform the functions of a Correctional Officer.

MR. : Okay.

MR. : Carry firearms. You can do

MR. : What they do is since he works in that department, we might, if we need him during the daytime, assign him over to the department. But he does overtime. He was working overtime then. So, we have a lot of overtime. So, individuals in other departments work the overtime.

MR. : Is that something they can do voluntarily, or are they told to do that? How does that work?

MR. : We have a volunteer list for the individuals that don’t work in the department.

MR. : Okay.

MR. : If you’re a Correctional Officer, we have what’s called a mandation list. So, if we call around and I say, “Hey, we need somebody to work this”, and everyone turns it down and says, “No, I don’t want to work it”, then we go to the mandation list.

MR. : Okay.

MR. : Which is you’re next up to be mandated to work a post.

MR. : Okay. Um --

MS. : Was he mandated that

1. MS. Lieutenant?
2. MR. Uh, Lieutenant when he came in and my first, you know, any time you have a suicide attempt, you want to make sure your staff are all right and how they’re doing. So, I went to, you know, to check on him to kind of get a debrief on what was going on. He kind of debriefed me on the situation. Um —
3. MR. What did Lieutenant tell you?
4. MR. So, I asked him, so I basically told him what happened, and he said, he talked to Officer and she said we didn’t do the 3 o’clock count or the 5 o’clock count.
5. And then he said he talked to Officer, and she said, no he talked to Officer and that Officer said, “I messed up. We messed up.” Something about it’s not her fault. But he said he was just talking way off the line.
6. Let me back-track a little. I did make one more call, because I couldn’t get in contact with Lieutenant. I called up to the Special Housing Unit.

said, try to find him if he’s outside. So, they went outside and they said, you know, he was gone. 1 I didn’t see Ms. but I told them to get a memorandum from her on what happened. They told me said she wasn’t feeling well and she had to talk to her Union rep. So, and I said, “You know what, let them go. We’ll get back with them or somebody will get back with them.” And they left. And we just started the process of collecting and preserving. MS. Have or been in to work since then? MR. No. I sent some support staff on Sunday to go talk to them. Today, the mother of child, she works at the institution but they’re not together, said, “Hey, he was with her all weekend but she can’t get in contact with him.” I sent her and a Lieutenant to go over to his house to find out if he’s okay. He called me a little irate saying, “You know, you’re sending people to my house. You know, I was sleeping.” I said, “I’m checking on your well-being”,

MR. Okay. MR. And I believe me. Mr. picked up the phone, and I asked her, you know, what was going. And she told me what was going on. But she really couldn’t talk. So, then I came, when I got to the institution, I saw her and I said, “Hey, are you all right? Is everything fine.” And she was like okay. So, I had somebody from our crisis support team that was there talk to her to make sure that she was all right, and then I went to try to find her. She said had left. So, I said, okay, “Left where? Where did he go?” They said, you know, “He went home. He was distraught.” So, then I get another call saying was outside, and that he told me, “I’m not answering any questions from you. I want my union,” I said, “I’m not concerned about what happened. I’m concerned about your well-being. Make sure you’re all right. You’ve been through a traumatic experience”, and he just kept talking. So, there was a staff member out there.

120

you know. And then I didn’t know, and I asked him, I said, “Did you call in for work today?” And he said, “Yes, I did.” And he said, “He was sleeping and he was tired.” And I said, “Well I’m just checking on your well-being and just seeing how you are”, and I left it at that. MS. That was this morning? MR. That was this morning. MS. So, he basically called in sick today? MR. He called in sick today. She’s on days off Monday and Tuesday. MS. Okay. MR. I’m going to assign both of them with no inmate contact, so they’re going to be away from inmates and assigned on the outside (Indiscriminate *01:23:09). MS. And then Lieutenant. And then that is basically what Lieutenant told me, and I told him, “Write a memorandum on what was said”, and he wrote the memorandum and he submitted it. MS. Has he been in to work since Saturday?
