Specialist since ~ 2009 prior to BOP was in the Army and TSA currently in Army Reserve (as a first instructor - Master Trainer Group of UAVs) - was / TSA ~ 2/3 yrs prior to BOP - enlisted in Arm in 2000 - MCC currently works Morning watch Overnight, Unit d (female unit) - Main Post. Involved in a few collective duties in MCC (Distribution Control Team, Lead CT Instructor Wentorship Program) - Last Quarter - Post was STUV 'Day watch (8-4) M-F - had worked STUV previously but prior to working their quarter he worked Morning Watch for years. Come off of Morning watch to do Day watch that quarter. - He could still do OT doing Day watch unless he was on multilingual orders. (and still get restated off) Poster v/ weekends yy was limited so the STUV shift was the only one that allowed him to get weekend off. - worked overnight for 5-6 years (now in the SHTU) - he has worked in the SHTU before, however it was never up there for an actual 3 month quarter, thus - when he first started he was in the SHTU 0 few months. It was on 8-4 shift. Rookes usually told to go work in the SHTU. Other than that time it was only for coverage, short-stuffed, use of force events, etc. Day watch shift - only responsible for fuking instruction counts only on the weekend. He didn't work on weekends. Have 4pm, 10pm, 12pm, 3am, Jan - had 30 min rounds on the day shift. They are supposed to be done every 30 mins but with a 40m time period. -on m, v, f - shaver damp. STN is unique at mcc b/c then don't have shavers. Innote have to be restrained EFTA_00001218 EFTA00135551 escorted out to shmer at end of tour, then re-restrained and returned to cell. Sometimes during this 30 min counts can get lost but they have eight on and usual contact / inmates b/c there is so much movement of inmates. - Rec officers also put inmates out to take inmates to 12th fl for hour of Rec time - on Tuesday, rounds are conducted as scheduled b/c no shower times. - even on shower days, then the shaves are done they'll do a round. - with current staffing movement, it could not be possible to do 30 min rounds on M, W, or F. They are so short-stuffed conditions for staffing are "abysmal". If you ask the officers to do 30 min rounds on top of everything else it will happen - Times on 30 min forms - if you are doing a mind you fill out the log as you are doing it so you get the time down Fill out the log w/c you have eye on. Also, he'll but the log while he's responding to incorrect complaints, etc. It might not be exactly 20 minutes but he is doing it as he sees them. -The times may not match up for him, but he does it as he sees them (the inmates) -He can't speak for other people doing the chucks and how they move the logs. He said he tells people to do it like that but he can't say who does it that any or other ways the inmates are checked by other COs. - if you compare the 30 min log to the video during this quarter in the SHU, you can see that sometimes the log sheet is posted on the teer + sometimes on the desk by the officer station. When its on the desk by the officer station, I /m just write so: Made in U.S.A EFTA_00001219 EFTA00135552 dom (fill in + catch up) because its so hard and the lay isn't with them then doing checks. Sometimes people vowed just sign it even if they didn't do the checks. He doesn't agree with this p/c treat not how it should be done. There are times the sheets haven't mode it up to the tears and filled out accurately. The cameras could show both instances. - it tries not to touch key sheets if he didn't do the round. If it is on the desk, he will fill it out if he died more someone from the shower. He can sign it if it has been interrupted for a period of time and he wants there. Just had an inmate in SHU who said he wanted to fall himself. Instead, putting him on suicide floor / 24-7 inmate compaction, they put the inmate under stuff catch in the SHU. It is much more difficult (non-purse). Leadership knows it difficult to do the 30 min routine of stuff gettle. They don't listen to stuff and do not take recommendations of stuff to make it better + more efficient. They'd to share recommendations + frustrations of leadership but they don't listen to CAPT ITS were on their side. During program fever (happens ~1 month into the greater) they passed (he's not sure how) go nothing comes out if and nothing changes. In vent to the leadership shortly after starting his shift in the SHU (within the 1st couple weeks) one of the outcomes of this ultimately death SHU now has the stuff they need in leadership in reach rather than proactive, why does it take this death to get the basic stuff they need to operate effectively in their environment? - when he returned to shift from military duty EFTA_00001220 EFTA00135553 - the leadership knows things can be done differently or trust additional staff is needed to do the job as required. He has not physically present at any meeting of CAPT Darlen where this was discussed. - ncc has been hurry, but it isn't scratchy the surface it do not is really needed to reduce the level of short - stretchy problems. - believes this is a systemic problem in the BOP, he doesn't agree / augmentation but there is no way the secretary or case manager can keep up with what needs to be done / in many, especially in the SIN. Doesn't agree / the "everyone is an officer first" mortality. They lack the skills / training he haven't been keeping up of that specific training. AS 9,2019 (friday) -he woned midnight (on overtime) 12am-8am (on another out - 11 South). He worked three shifts by himself. He wasn't relieved on time. He was relieved at 8:40. Since he was released late, he got vent right to Stuil Ghner day and arrived at 8:45. Epstein can already escorted to the attorney conference area lay the time to get there. It checked at 3:30 Epstein was still in the attorney room. Epstein stayed in the room for the count. He was released at 6pm. It was down there for his entire shift. He believes Epstein was there until late Friday night. He did not see Epstein at all on findex. - He didn't see either. He was also gone when he got to his post at the SITU. SAS may have told him left. - He knew we were sure but didn't know. He never saw the court list for that day. Also, just because Made in U.S.A EFTA_00001221 EFTA00135554 it says they left it don't mean they are actually learning duck . They could be gone all day and then come back . The most know was left the unit , but he didn't know where - when he called to see if Epstein was coming back from court, he couldn't tell wouldn't come back - no one told him could come back and Epstein needed a cellmate (CT) - No - we made a one Epstein cane of suicide watch after his death. - was possibly on military care from July 14-27 and in August it ended 11-24. - when he returned to meet after July orders, he did not hear about Epstein's suicide attempt. - People were calling + texting him in August and that's when he learned what had happened (suicide) did not know Epshtein came off succeeds watch. I never questioned why he came off. He wasn't notified by psychology or anything, no one told him Epshtein needed + cell phone + SOS are the same rank. never told him as being released and Epstein needed a cellmate. He never saw a man and no one told him anything. If he was made aware, he would have made sure Epstein received a cellmate, it would not have been difficult to get him a cellmate. -If he was told my leadership that Epstein needed a cellmate, he would have made it happen. did not fall him. No one told him. was possibly gone for good. - It doesn't matter who the inmate is, if he's told someone needs a cellmate he will notice sure they get a cellmate. They tell you someone needs a cellmate for a reason. - No one at all, including Bengalro, told him EPSON 0008863d a EFTA_00001222 EFTA00135555 cellmate - If someone wrote a name stating they told him Epstein needed a cellmate it need be false - he didn't have a lot of interaction with Epstein. He escorted him to attorney soon once but he didn't really talk to him. It got him what he needed (socks, etc) like he does with any other still inmate. when he left at 4, was in the SITU working. He can't remember who else. Didn't see officer Noel come in, it didn't see most of the next shift. He left as soon as he had turnover / . Believes Noel is coming in. Can't think about anyone else. Relaxed to That Epstein was still down at legal. They also had a few shoppers that had to be finished b/c they didn't finish them on the 8-y shift. Told that the count should be, too. - Doesn't recall if he passed any information about share was. No focus on Epstein b/c he was high profile. - would have followed any direction to place a cellmate of Epstein. If a fellow officer told him, he would have followed up his leadership to confirm and then follow up. | IPFS | | :--- | | FORMS 7521 | | Made in U.S.A. | ```markdown SDNY_00008099 ``` EFTA_00001223 EFTA00135556 # UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Office of the Inspector General ## WARNINGS AND ASSURANCES TO EMPLOYEE REQUESTED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS You are being asked to provide information as part of an investigation being conducted by the Office of the Inspector General.
