Hi DAD
There has been an incident with a high profile prisoner (Jeffrey Epstein) at MCC New York. We are trying to get some basic
information about the incident and are having a hard time getting any information out of the facility. Is there someone we could
speak to and get the basic information? The USM and Chief for our S/New York office are having no luck with the Warden and
Assistant Warden.

Hello
It was good to see you yesterday. Thank you for accommodating my visit with
and giving
him extra time to review his discovery. We very much appreciate that.
I am writing to request the preservation of all video surveillance that captures the hallway outside of
cell on the date and time of the Epstein incident that is currently being investigated. I
believe that the date and time is July 23 during the early morning hours. Accordingly, I would ask
that all video surveillance from July 22 at 11 pm to July 23 at 4 am is preserved. If it is your
understanding that the incident occurred at a different time, please let me know and preserve the
relevant footage, including an hour before the incident and an hour afterwards. If the responding
officers were wearing body cameras that captured the inside of the cell in the aftermath of the
incident, I am requesting that such footage also be preserved.

No worries about tomorrow. Take care of your business. I knew he didn't tell you because I was receiving calls and they said
they tried to reach him and he wouldn't answer. But it's ok. I'll deal with it. Yesterday was a ghost town as well.
said it
was 13 vacant posts. Please ensure the staff in SHU make the rounds or get assistance with the rounds. Maybe Activities. Not
only due to Epstein but one of the reasons. If any non-custody come in, please use them. I'm here if you need me. Thanks.

Good morning Ma'am I was on staff assist all week at Danbury so I had no idea that he designated me this weekend so I'm
really sorry about that. I'll help out as soon as I'm done with

won't have to worry about anything.
FYI, we are on modified status today. Staff search, Internal, 5 south, 7 south, SHU 3 and 4, are vacated. We are doing
attorney visits though but we may have to cancel religious services. Enjoy your Sunday

No worries. He designated you as the Captain this weekend and I am sure you weren't aware of it. I got all the calls. He's
not answering the phone so I'm sure you won't get a response. I will deal with things tomorrow.

=== Page 3 ===
April 2015
Instructor Guide
I. INTRODUCTION
Slide 1 - Conducting Searches
Since inmates often possess different types of contraband, find ways to modify government-
issued items inappropriately, and create weapons out of any type of material, inmates and all
areas of our institution must be searched routinely at irregular times. Conducting searches is
an important part of a correctional workers duties and responsibilities. This lesson provides the
information you will need to perform a thorough search of inmates and all areas that inmates
have access. Our objectives for this lesson are:
Slide 2 - Objectives
Identify the purpose and importance of conducting searches.
Identify the general guidelines for conducting searches.
Given an inmate living area, an institution space or open area, and search equipment, each
participant will conduct pat and area searches.
Identify the proper sequence of steps used in conducting a visual search, as delineated in
this course of instruction.
Slide 3 - Reasons for Conducting Searches
II. CONDUCTING SEARCHES
A. Reasons for conducting searches
There are critical reasons for conducting searches which relate to safety and well-being. It is
important to remember searches are not conducted for the purpose of harassing inmates.
Reasons that searches are conducted are to:
1. Protect staff and inmates
The most important reason for conducting searches is to protect employees and inmates.
Searches help us maintain a safe and secure environment for everyone.
2. Detect and remove contraband
Contraband may be a restricted item or an excessive amount of permitted items. Searches
allow staff members to locate and remove contraband items.
3. Prevent escapes

Conducting Searches
Phase I
Tab 22
EFTA00035883

=== Page 4 ===
April 2015
Instructor Guide
Through searches, staff may uncover tools or devices that could be used in an escape attempt.
Staff members also inspect buildings and structures for signs of tampering.
4. Maintain sanitary standards
Institution areas must be kept neat and clean for health purposes. Searches ensure sanitary
conditions meet established standards.
5. Eliminate fire and safety hazards
Area searches help uncover fire and safety hazards such as exposed or faulty electrical wires.
When such hazards are discovered, they must be reported for repair.
Slide 4 - Reference Materials
B. Reference Materials
Your primary references for conducting searches will be PS 5500.11, Correctional Services
Manual and Program Statement 5521.05, Searches of Housing Units, Inmates, and Inmate Work
Areas. These sources provide thorough coverage as follows:
1. The Correctional Services Manual provides guidance on records and methods of inspection.
It also provides guidance to search visually and how to use instruments during a search. For
example, it tells how to use a mallet for tapping and how to use metal instruments to check for
cuts or other signs of tampering.
Detailed instructions for searching inmates and specific areas such as housing units, utility
rooms, shops, and buildings are also provided.
2. The PS 5521.05, Searches of Housing Units, Inmates, and Inmate Work Areas explains how
and why search procedures are established. It also outlines documentation requirements for
searches.
3. Local Procedures such as the list of items carried by our institution Commissary and the list
of locally authorized inmate personal property are two other important sources of information.
You can use these lists to help you tell the difference between authorized items and nuisance
contraband.

When to conduct searches?
Searches are performed according to scheduled Post Orders and/or supervisory instructions.
Searches may be performed any time of the day or night, during any shift. They may be
scheduled or unscheduled.
Who may conduct searches?
All staff members are authorized and encouraged to perform random searches. In certain
institution areas such as the living quarters, dining hall, Health Services Department, or library,
specific staff may be assigned to conduct a search. Any staff member may be asked to search a
specific inmate or area at any time.
Slide 6 - Types of Searches
III. TYPES OF SEARCHES
Now that we have discussed why searches are performed, sources for additional information,
and search conditions, we will move on to the actual steps for conducting various searches.
Slide 7 - Types of Searches - Area Searches
A. Area Searches
1. Initiate the search
First, determine the type of search to be conducted. You can do this by following your Post
Orders and/or contacting your supervisor. In general, searches are performed as follows:
Daily security inspections are conducted during each shift.
Searches of living quarters or individual cells are conducted daily on a routine and random
basis.
Searches of other areas (such as UNICOR, education building, electrical shop, library, or
yard) are conducted daily on an irregular time schedule.
Institution grounds inspections are conducted frequently on an irregular schedule.

Instructor Guide
Note: Show an Institution Search Log.
If appropriate, determine the specific living quarters/cell to be searched by referring to the unit
or area search log book located at the Unit Officer's station. The search log book identifies all
areas/cells recently searched and the contraband found and documented by the staff member.
Referring to the unit or area search log book prior to conducting a search may help eliminate
different staff searching the same area or cell on different shifts. It also helps to identify other
areas in need of searching and reduces the appearance of harassing a particular inmate.
2. Obtain search tools
The right tools make a search job much simpler, safer, and more effective. Used correctly, the
recommended tools will help you uncover concealed evidence without putting yourself in
danger.
Note: Display tools used in searches.
Obtain any necessary tools before you begin an area search:
Screwdrivers (Phillips head and flat head) to disassemble equipment or other items.
Mirrors with a long handle to look under, over, or behind objects.
A flashlight to see under furniture, equipment, or other dark areas.
Appropriate keys to open locks and lockers.
Probing devices to check dense areas such as the ground.
A mallet to tap items such as bars and grilles. It can also be used to inspect walls where
paint chips are detected.
A putty knife to check window sashes, sills, and bars. The knife can also be used to inspect
hidden areas, such as the ledge behind a piece of heavy furniture.
A hand-held metal detector to find concealed contraband items, such as knives or razor
blades in a mattress, pillow, or clothing.
3. Dealing with the presence of inmates
Inmates are not allowed to observe a search or to remain in an area which is being searched.
If inmates are in the area to be searched, pat search them and direct them to leave the area.

Note: Inmate pat searches will be discussed later in this lesson plan.
4. Plan a systematic search process.
Area searches must be conducted in a thorough, systematic manner. They are not random spot
checks.
The area search process is detailed and careful preparation is necessary. Think of the plan you
will develop as a road map for your area search. Prepare a plan for the area being searched. Be
sure the plan is thorough and systematic.
How do you plan to tackle this assignment? What approach will you take?
Assess the area to be searched. What is the size of the area? Where are the doors and
windows?
Look over the actual area to be searched. Establish an overall impression and identify
anything suspicious. Check all parts of the area thoroughly, but also try to imagine yourself
as an inmate. Where would you hide something?
Select a starting point and determine a systematic approach. You may start anywhere, but
search the entire area systematically to ensure thorough coverage. For example, you may
enter at the cell door and search from the left, inspecting all items from top to bottom.
5. Inspecting the area and all contents
Note: Describe Typical Hiding Locations.
a. Review search strategy.
Keep the following points in mind as you begin your search:
Follow your search plan. Even if you find contraband, you must continue searching until
you have covered the entire area. Contraband may have been planted in several places.
Sometimes, a minor contraband item is planted to bait and distract you from a more serious
article.
Plan to conduct your search so all legitimate articles and bedding may be left as neat and
orderly as you found them at the beginning of the search.
Focus on maintaining your concentration throughout the search. This is a detailed task and
it is important you keep your mind on what you are doing.

Note: Discuss possible distractions.
b. Consider safety.
(1) Concealed contraband.
Inmates may conceal contraband such as needles, razor blades, tattoo paraphernalia, and other
sharp objects out of plain view of staff. For this reason, use extreme caution to never run
hands along a surface they have not visually inspected, and remember to never put hands or
fingers anywhere you cannot see.
Avoid squeezing inmate clothing and laundry items to avoid injury in the event that contraband
may be concealed in these items. Always visually inspect, unfold, and shake these items prior
to searching. Further prevention strategies include the use of the search tools mentioned
above.
If contraband is, in fact, discovered, be cautious. Always use a search tool to pick up needles,
razor blades, or other sharp objects. When transporting these types of contraband, continue to
use caution by placing the items in a sharps container, when applicable.
(2) Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens.
Exposed employees must report all exposures to their immediate supervisor as soon as
possible. Prompt reporting of exposure incidents ensures timely medical evaluation and follow-
up. If evaluation of the circumstances indicates post-exposure treatment, the exposed
employee will benefit from the prompt initiation of treatment.
c. Search the area.
Check all movable or installed items and equipment. Use tools as appropriate to search
inaccessible areas and protect yourself. For example, use the mirror, probe, or metal detector
to check inaccessible areas. Take note of unusual circumstances or needed repairs.
(1) Inspect all furniture. Concentrate on hollow legs, cracks, and crevices; underside; and any
upholstered cushions.
Check beds and upholstered furniture thoroughly.
Strip the bed. Examine all pillows, sheets, covers, blankets, and the mattress carefully.
Check to see if contraband has been pinned or sewn to any item.
Search the mattress, pillows, and cushions for hard objects. Consider using the metal
detector to protect yourself from sharp items such as needles and blades.

Check the underside of all furniture such as chairs, tables, and stools. Look for taped or
stuck items and small holes bored into the wood. Contraband could be plugged into holes
by paper or wooden plugs.
(2) Inspect any plumbing fixtures such as toilets, wash basins, shower stalls, water fountains,
and ice machines. Concentrate on the legs, cracks, and crevices; the underside and inside of all
water-holding devices. Ensure you:
Flush toilets and look for suspicious water flow.
Drain water, if possible. Run fresh water to check for contraband hidden in pipes.
Inspect drains. Remove drain grilles where possible, and look for contraband suspended on
thin wire or thread.
(3) Inspect ventilation devices. Remove ventilation grilles where possible and look for
contraband suspended on thin wire or thread.
(4) Inspect electrical fixtures. Remove light fixture covers, light bulbs, and electrical face
plates.
(5) Inspect doors, windows, bars, and wall surfaces. Concentrate on cracks, crevices, locks,
caulking, recent repairs, and bars that have been bent, broken, or tampered with.
(6) Inspect mechanical equipment. Ensure power to equipment is turned off before you open
and inspect it.
(7) Inspect all items and materials stored in area.
Ensure you:
Check all personal items such as picture frames, toothpaste, and medicine containers.
Look for expired medications or those issued to an inmate other than the one whose locker
you are checking. Look for false bottoms and examine contents.
Check all institution items such as trash cans, brooms, and cleaning utensils/supplies.
Inspect all packaging, such as soap bars. Ensure the seals have not been tampered with. If
seals have been opened, check contents carefully.
Inspect all books, magazines, and papers within the area. Check the bindings and covers.
Look between individual pages.

Confiscate all contraband found in the area. Remember to follow the proper procedures for
the confiscation of contraband and inmate personal property.
Note: Review procedures for confiscating contraband.
In outdoor areas concentrate on recently transplanted trees, shrubs, and flowers. Check areas
where repairs have caused soil displacement. The dense undergrowth creates an ideal
hiding/burial spot.
Drive probes into the ground in recently planted areas. Investigate suspicious areas.
Use hand-held metal detectors to check for weapons and other contraband.
6. Leave the area as you found it.
As we discussed, area searches are necessary in institution life. However, a little consideration
on your part will go a long way in helping inmates accept the intrusion. Treat their property
with respect by:
Ensuring the area is returned to its original condition as neatly as possible. There should be
little evidence that a search was performed.
Folding bedding items neatly and place them on the bed. Staff members are not required
to remake an inmate's bed after removing all bed clothing while conducting a search.
Replacing personal items to the approximate location they were found prior to the search.
Remember that a cell is an inmate's home.
7. Document the search.
Each time you complete a search, you must complete the necessary documentation. Complete
a log entry to document your actions and findings. If necessary, write a memorandum and/or
an Incident Report.
(1) living quarters
Note: Display Unit Search Log.
If you find contraband, remove it from the living quarters. Tell your supervisor, and
determine appropriate actions to take regarding confiscation and disposal of contraband.
Document your search in the Unit Search Log. (It is important to document the fact that
you conducted a search, whether or not you found contraband.) This documentation

proves the Bureau of Prisons is doing everything it can to make the institution safe and
secure.
Note: Refer to Appendix.
If you find hard contraband or contraband of significance, you must document your findings as
follows:
If your finding can be directly attributed to one inmate, complete an Incident Report. In
addition, if you know of any recent event or sensitive information that may relate to your
finding, write a memorandum to your shift supervisor to support the Incident Report.
If your finding cannot be attributed to a single inmate, write a memorandum to the Captain
through your shift supervisor.
All Incident Reports and memorandums should include the following information:
Name and register number of the inmate whose cell was searched
Number of the cell searched
Name of the officer conducting the search
Time of search
List of any contraband discovered
Disposition of the contraband
(2) areas outside living quarters
If you find contraband, remove it from the area. Tell your supervisor, and determine
appropriate actions to take regarding confiscation and disposal of contraband.
Note: Explain how to complete a log book entry.
Document your search in the area log or lieutenant's log. (It is important to document the
fact you conducted a search and whether contraband was found.)
If you found hard contraband or contraband of significance, write a memorandum. If your
finding can be directly attributed to an inmate, complete an Incident Report.
8. Submit work requests
During your search, you may find areas that need repair and/or further inspection. Perhaps you
noticed plumbing or structural problems. In such cases you should submit a work request.
Note:
Describe local procedures used to submit work orders.

We have discussed the fundamentals of conducting an area search. Now you will have the
opportunity to practice what you have just learned.
Note: Assign the participants to conduct a limited area search of identified areas. Observe the participants as
they conduct this exercise to ensure they are using proper search techniques. Provide feedback as
needed.
Note: Did you have any problems with completing the area search? Did you find anything which requires an
Incident Report, a Work Request, or memorandum? How would you document the area search?
Encourage discussion.
Slide 8 - Types of Searches - Pat Searches
B. Pat searches
1. When to conduct pat searches?
Staff may conduct a pat search of an inmate on a routine or random basis to control
contraband.
Inmates should be pat searched several times a day at non-scheduled intervals.
Inmates should be randomly pat searched when they move from one area of the institution
to another. For example: pat searches should be conducted during open movements,
entering or exiting inmate housing units, when inmates leave a work assignment, or when
they return to the work site after a scheduled call-out, religious activity, etc. Inmates must
assume a pat search will be conducted at any time and any place. Inmates must be
uncertain as to when, where and how they will be questioned and searched.
2. Who conducts pat searches?
A pat search may be conducted by any staff member, at any time, and on any inmate of either
gender.
3. Pat Searches of Staff and Inmate Visitors
The following procedures apply to searching staff and inmate visitors, both social and legal,
official visitors, contractors, and volunteers, upon entering Bureau grounds or facilities.
Persons refusing to submit to or comply with authorized Bureau search procedures will be
denied entry or required to leave.
A pat search of an inmate visitor or staff member will be conducted in the same manner as an
inmate pat search with the following exceptions:
Introduction to Correctional Techniques
12
Conducting Searches
Phase I
Tab 22
EFTA00035892

=== Page 13 ===
April 2015
Instructor Guide
Except in emergencies, pat searches of visitors/staff must be conducted by staff of the same
sex as the non-inmate being searched.
Religious headwear is not considered part of a visitor's/staff's belongings, but rather their
person. Random pat searches should NOT ordinarily include removal and inspection of
religious headwear. Except in emergencies, Warden authorization is required before staff
perform pat or visual searches of religious headwear. Searches of religious headwear
should be conducted out of the view of other visitors and inmates.
Religious headwear that obscures a person's face must be removed sufficiently to reveal the
face for identification upon entering and leaving facilities, and does not require the
heightened conditions described above or documentation. In these cases, the entire
headwear need not be removed if partial removal will reveal the face for identification.
Staff must be respectful of the belongings of others. Belongings and contents should not be
handled carelessly, or in a manner that attracts unnecessary attention by others in the area.
Staff should not make unnecessary or inappropriate comments regarding their belongings
that might cause embarrassment.
All containers - for example, purses, backpacks, and medication (prescription or over-the-
counter)- must be electronically screened or opened and inspected.
Note: Pat Search Video
4. Pat search video
Before we get into the process of a pat search, I want to show you a video on the procedures
we will be following. Please observe each step closely as these are the steps we will be
following and on which you will be tested.
Note: Direct the participants to remove the Pat Search Job Aids from the Appendix of their manuals.
5. Initiate the pat search
Determine which inmate is to be searched.
Determine the location of the search.
Communicate your intentions to the inmate.
Note: The presence of other inmates should not be a deterrent to performing an effective pat search.

6. Systematic steps in conducting a pat search
The pat search is conducted utilizing a systematic step-by-step approach to ensure maximum
effectiveness. During the performance evaluation, you must complete the pat search in the
systematic order taught.
Slide 9 - Types of Searches - Pat Search
7. Conducting the pat search
a. Pat search positioning
While conducting a pat search, staff must remain alert to their surroundings and the inmate at
all times. For safety, it is imperative that staff be aware of their positioning as well as the
inmate's positioning throughout the pat search.
(1) Inmate Positioning
The inmate will face away from the staff member during all hands-on search procedures.
While facing away from the staff member, the inmate will be instructed to stretch out their
arms perpendicular to the inmate's side and parallel to the ground with palms facing up and
fingers spread.
The staff member will instruct the inmate to place their feet shoulder width apart.
Throughout the pat search, the inmate will be instructed to turn. While the inmate is
turning the staff member remains in place monitoring the inmate's actions.
(2) Staff Member Positioning
The staff member will maintain a T-stance while conducting the pat search.
The staff member's head should never pass the plane of the inmate's side. (Example: Do
not allow your head to be in a position where the inmate could strike with an elbow, arm or
fist).
Larger inmates may require a staff member to move from one side to the other while
searching the chest and waist area. The staff member will stay behind the inmate's
outstretched arms at all times.
While searching the lower extremities, the staff member should maintain their T-stance
while going to one knee. Never place both knees on the ground at the same time.

b. Removal of inmate's personal items
Direct the inmate to remove all items from their pockets. Instruct the inmate to place the
items in a specific location (out of reach). Inspect the inmate's hands to ensure there is no
concealed contraband in the hand or between the fingers. When conducting this
procedure, observe the inmate's body language and movements, noting signs of anxiety or
any attempt to throw away contraband.
Direct the inmate to remove any head wear (hats, clips, head bands, barrettes, or hair
ornaments) and place it with the items removed from their pockets.
C. Inspect the inmate's head and neck
As part of a thorough pat search, you will start at the head and work your way down the
inmate's body to the feet. However, there may be times that the inspection of the head will
not be necessary.
Direct the inmate to lean forward and run their fingers vigorously through the hair several
times to dislodge any hidden contraband items.
d. Searching the inmate's arms and upper torso
Have the inmate turn and face away from you, raise their arms to the side, shoulder high
with fingers spread, and palms facing up. From behind, visually look at the inmate's hands
to ensure there is nothing concealed.
Search the inmate's collar by placing the collar material between your index finger and
thumb, using both hands. Press the material, feeling for hidden contraband. Be sure to
cover the entire length of the collar.
In a systematic method, search one shoulder, arm, and armpit at a time. Begin at the
shoulder area with one hand flat against the back of the shoulder and the other flat against
the front of the shoulder. Pressing the palms against the inmate's body and using a
sweeping motion, work your hands from the shoulder to the wrist ensuring total coverage
of the shoulder, armpit, and length of the arm. While searching the inmate's arms and
upper torso, use a sweeping motion; do not squeeze or give the appearance of groping.
Larger inmates may require a staff member to use a rotational sweeping motion in order to
ensure all areas are properly searched.
Repeat this procedure to search the other shoulder, armpit, and arm.

With your palms flat and thumbs aligned on each side of the spine, search the inmate's back
and sides by pressing down as you work your way to the inmate's belt line. Considering the
size of the inmate, this portion of the search may require more than one sweeping motion.
Go back to the armpit area. With both palms flat against the inmate's side, using a
sweeping motion, search each side simultaneously down to the belt line.
(1)
Male Inmate
Once the back and sides have been completed, search the chest and stomach from behind.
Place both palms flat on the inmate's chest, near the top of the chest. In a downward
sweeping motion, paying close attention to seams, button areas, and pockets, search to the
inmate's belt line.
(2)
Female Inmate
Have the inmate lower one arm (your choice).
Place yourself to the side of her lowered arm, place your inside arm (forearm) in a position
which affords protection of your groin, preventing the inmate from raising her arm.
With your outside hand in a position with all four fingers and thumb extended and joined
together, and held in a vertical position, place the thumb side of your hand on the chest
area starting at or above the sternum. Run your hand downward, circling under the breast,
then upwards toward the armpit area, applying enough pressure to detect any contraband.
Check the abdomen area with the flat palm portion of the searching hand.
Repeat the above procedures for the other side.
Larger inmates may require a staff member to move from one side to the other while searching
the chest. Stay behind the inmate's outstretched arms at all times.
e. Searching the belt line and waistband areas
This is a common area to hide sharp items - exercise caution when searching this area!
With the inmate's arms raised to the side, shoulder high, search the waistband of the
inmate. Standing to the rear of the inmate, reach around the waist and begin at the navel
area. Placing the trouser material between your fingers and thumb, pinch the material,
working your way from the front to the rear on both sides, simultaneously.

Once the waistband has been completed, using the same technique, search the belt.
Larger inmates may require a staff member to move from one side to the other while
searching the belt and waistband. Stay behind the inmate's outstretched arms at all times.
Slide 10 - Types of Searches - Pat Search
f. Searching the lower abdomen and groin
Search the inmate's lower abdomen and groin area. This is accomplished by placing the
palm flat, directly below the inmate's waistband, on the lower abdomen, with fingers
aligned with the zipper. The other hand, the palm is flat, placed directly below the
waistband on the inmate's buttocks. Move your hands downward in a sweeping motion
toward the crotch area.
Pay special attention to the inmate's lower abdomen and crotch, carefully checking seams,
waistbands, zippers, and buttons.
Note: Explain to the participants to thoroughly search the crotch area, using a sweeping motion; do not
squeeze or give the appearance of groping.
g. Searching the legs
In a systematic method, search one leg at a time. Pressing the palms against the inmate's
leg and using a sweeping motion, work your hands from the crotch area to the ankle. While
searching the inmate's legs, use a sweeping motion; do not squeeze or give the appearance
of groping. Larger inmates may require a staff member to use a rotational sweeping
motion in order to ensure all areas are properly searched.
h. Searching the socks and shoes
Inspect the shoe tops, and any area of the leg/ankle covered by socks. If you feel there is
contraband, the inmate should be removed to an appropriate area for a visual search.
Remaining behind the inmate, move to the other side. Repeat the procedure to search the
other side of the inmate's lower abdomen, groin, leg, and shoe.
Instruct the inmate to lift each foot, one at a time, showing you the bottom of the shoe.
Visually inspect the bottoms of the shoes to ensure there is no item of contraband
concealed on the bottom. Examine shoes closely for any split soles or removable heels.
Once the inmate has been searched, have the inmate lower their arms.

Release the inmate to their assigned duty.
j. Documenting confiscated contraband
You have learned how to document confiscated contraband. Let's review the forms used in
documenting confiscated contraband:
Confiscation and Disposition of Contraband form
Incident Report
Memorandum
Slide 11 - Pat Search Special Concerns
9. Pat search special concerns
a. Casts and artificial limbs
Dangerous weapons, drugs, and money are often concealed in casts and artificial limbs.
Inspect any plaster cast or artificial limb the inmate may have by using a flashlight and
mirror. If you suspect the plaster cast conceals contraband, contact your supervisor for
further instructions.
Inspect any artificial limb the inmate may be wearing by directing them to remove the limb
and thoroughly searching the limb and all attaching hardware. This will be done in private.
Contact the Health Services Department if problems arise when searching inmates with
either casts or artificial limbs.
b. Dealing with the inmate
Most inmates accept pat searches as a part of the normal day. Even so, you must:
Respect the inmate's right to not be harassed.

Be systematic when performing the pat search.
Maintain professionalism by conducting all searches in a calm, no-nonsense manner.
Remain alert at all times. Remember, keeping contraband out depends on how well you do
your job. Others depend on you.
c. If you suspect contraband or a weapon
We must ensure our own safety while conducting searches. When contraband is suspected,
you should have a second staff member assisting with the search.
(1) Direct the inmate to face away from you with arms extended, palms up, and feet apart.
(2) You may want to instruct the inmate to assume a position against a wall if possible.
Arms outstretched and palms of the hands on the wall.
Legs spread more than shoulder width.
Move feet away from the wall.
(3) Request assistance and have the inmate submit to a visual search.
Note: Direct participants to refer to the Job Aids located in the Appendix.
9. Practice pat search
The instructor will demonstrate the proper pat search technique with a volunteer member of
the class or a member of the instructional team. Following the demonstration, each participant
should be required to properly perform a thorough pat search on another participant.
Note: The instructor should hide contraband on the person who is being searched. Using the evaluation form
located in the Instructor Guide's Appendix to rate the participant's performance and provide feedback.
C. Visual Search
Slide 12 - Visual Search
The intent of the pat search is to control the introduction of contraband in our institutions,
ensuring a safe environment for staff and inmates. Pat searches do not detect all contraband;
however, this important security procedure will assist in deterring the introduction and
movement of contraband. If you suspect the inmate may possess contraband, which you did
not detect during your pat search, you should initiate a visual search. We must ensure our own
safety while conducting searches. If the staff member conducting the search believes they are
Introduction to Correctional Techniques

EFTA00035899

=== Page 20 ===
April 2015
Instructor Guide
at particular risk, they should immediately seek assistance. Staff should not try to remove any
contraband from the inmate without a second staff member present.
In a recorded case an inmate undergoing a visual search was found to have a greasy substance
around his rectum. A digital and simple instrument search located an item, but the item could
not be removed from the inmate's bowels. An x-ray revealed that the item was a small-caliber
pistol. When the pistol was finally recovered, it was found that it did not have a trigger guard
and that it was fully loaded! The pistol could have discharged at any time. The inmate had
received the pistol and inserted it into his rectum while in the Visiting Room. A very alert
Correctional Officer performing a professional visual search prevented this weapon from
entering the institution.
The visual search is probably the most sensitive search procedure you will conduct. As the
name implies, a visual search involves the visual inspection of an inmate's body after all clothing
has been removed. Unlike the pat search, staff members should never touch an inmate while
conducting a visual search.
Inmates may view visual searches as humiliating and feel it can be a form of harassment.
Visual searches are extremely effective in preventing the introduction and circulation of
contraband. As a correctional worker, a visual search is one of the many areas of your job that
will test your professionalism.
1. Purpose of a visual search
Visual searches are conducted to protect staff members and inmates by controlling the
introduction and conveyance of contraband into the institution.
a. When to conduct visual search
(1) Conduct a visual search when there is reasonable belief that contraband may be concealed
on the inmate.
(2) Conduct a visual search when a good opportunity for concealment has occurred.
(3) Based on the security level of the institution, conduct a visual search when an inmate is
entering or leaving the:
Visiting Room
Institution
Special Housing Unit
(4) Conduct a visual search when an inmate has been apprehended after an escape or an
escape attempt.

b. Who may conduct a visual search?
(1) A routine visual search is conducted by staff members of the same sex as the inmate.
(2) A staff member of the opposite sex may conduct the search in an emergency situation. The
staff member must be fully prepared to articulate their actions and be able to document the
conditions and reasons for the opposite sex search. A copy of the report will be placed in the
inmate's central file.
2. Systematic steps in conducting a visual search
a. Initiating the visual search
(1) Determine which inmate is to be searched.
(2) Determine where the inmate is to be searched by locating an area out of public view,
maintaining the inmate's dignity to the maximum extent possible.
(3) Notify the inmate by verbally stating your intention to visually search them, and direct the
inmate to the area where the search will take place.
Slide 13 - Visual Search
b. Conducting the visual search
(1) Direct the inmate to remove all items from clothing pockets.
Direct the inmate where to place personal items.
Ensure the items are placed out of reach of the inmate.
(2) Direct the inmate to remove all clothes.
As the inmate removes their clothes, watch for signs of anxiety or any attempt to throw
away contraband.
Direct the inmate to place their clothes next to the items previously removed from the
pockets.
Inspect any artificial limbs the inmate may be wearing by directing the inmate to remove the
limb and thoroughly search the limb and all attaching hardware. Dangerous weapons, drugs,
and money are often concealed in artificial limbs.

If the inmate is wearing a cast, ask your supervisor for instructions.
As you conduct the search, look for items taped to the inmate, fresh tattoos, or needle marks.
If you encounter any of these situations, you should notify a supervisor upon completing the
search.
(3) Visually inspect the inmate's head:
Direct the inmate to bend forward at the waist, with head tilted down, run their fingers
vigorously through their hair several times to dislodge any hidden contraband.
Note: Advise students that inmates with hair that is unable to be searched in this manner will need to be
inspected prior to the inmate removing their clothes. This could include dread locks or hair that is too
thick to effectively search.
Visually inspect inside and behind both ears. Use a flashlight, if necessary.
Visually inspect inside the inmate's nose. Use a flashlight, if necessary.
Visually inspect inside the inmate's mouth and under the tongue. Use a flashlight, if
necessary.
Direct the inmate to remove dentures/partial plates if applicable.
If applicable, visually inspect the dentures/partial plates while the inmate holds them.
Direct the inmate to pull their lower lip out and down. Next, direct the inmate to pull their
upper lip out and up. Be certain to inspect the inmate's gum line.
If applicable, have inmate put dentures/partial plates back in mouth.
(4) Visually examine the inmate's front torso:
Remain professional, search thoroughly, and maintain your concentration.
Observe the inmate, looking for cuts, bruises, or any trauma on their body. Report any of
these observances to your supervisor upon completing the search.
If bandages are found during the search, direct the inmate to remove them, or at least lift
one side to show that nothing is concealed underneath.
Direct the inmate to extend their arms forward, palms down, and fingers spread. Examine
the back of hands and under the fingernails.

Instructor Guide
Direct the inmate to turn their hands over and examine the palms.
Direct the inmate to raise their arms above their head, with fingers extended and spread.
Examine the inmate's armpits and arms.
If the inmate is a female, direct her to lift her breasts so that you can see if anything is taped
or hidden under the breasts.
If the inmate is obese, direct them to lift the folds of skin so you can see if anything is taped
or hidden between the folds.
(5) Visually examine the inmate's groin:
If the inmate is a male, direct him to spread his legs and lift his genitals so that you can see
if anything is hidden or taped under the penis or scrotum. If the inmate is not circumcised,
the inmate must pull back the foreskin to expose the head of the penis.
If the inmate is female, direct her to squat down, spread her vagina, and cough several
times to dislodge anything that may be hidden in the vaginal cavity.
(6) Visually examine the front of the inmate's legs and tops of the feet.
Slide 14 - Visual Search
(7) Direct the inmate to turn around and visually examine the inmate's back upper torso.
(8) Visually examine the back of the inmate's legs and bottom of the feet.
Check between the toes by directing the inmate to lift one foot at a time and wiggle the toes.
(9) Have the inmate face away from you and visually examine the inmate's (male and female)
anus by directing them to bend over and spread the buttocks. Use a flashlight, if necessary.
A common place for both male and female inmates to hide keys, drugs, and even hacksaw
blades, is inside the rectum.
If you suspect contraband, have the inmate squat and cough several times.
If you find any evidence (a greasy substance around the rectum) that something may be
concealed in the anal cavity, call a supervisor immediately.
Only medical personnel are permitted to conduct body cavity searches, and then only with
the permission of the Warden.

(10) Search the inmate and clothing with a hand-held metal detector.
Inspect the inmate's clothes by running your hands over the material, turning the garments
inside-out, and examining zippers, buttons, seams, cuffs, and hat bands. In addition, a
hand-held metal detector will be utilized when checking the inmate's clothing.
Examine the soles, heels, and insides of the shoes, looking for false heels, hollow
compartments, or items hidden inside the shoes. In addition, a hand-held metal detector
will be utilized when checking the inmate's shoes.
(11) Examine the items that were removed from the inmate's pockets.
(12) Direct the inmate to retrieve their clothing and get dressed. Release the inmate to their
assigned duty.
Slide 15 - Visual Search
C. Documentation
Document the confiscated contraband using:
Confiscation and Disposition of Contraband form
Incident Report
Memorandum
d. Professionalism during visual searches
Respect the inmate's right to not be harassed.
Be systematic by performing the visual search in the same way every time.
Maintain professionalism by conducting all searches in a calm, no-nonsense manner.
Remain alert at all times. Remember, keeping contraband out of the institution
depends on how well you do your job. Others depend on you.
e. Visual search scramble test
The visual search scramble test will check your understanding of the sequence of events
necessary to perform a proper visual search. Number each step in proper sequence 1 through
12, 1 being the first step and 12 being the last.
Note: Have the participants remove the Visual Search Scramble Test from their Appendix, close their manuals,
and put away all study aids. After all of the participants have finished taking the test, grade the tests
and provide feedback on their performance.

IV. SEARCHES OF CROSS-GENDER INMATES
Slide 16 - Cross-Gender Searches
Currently, all staff may pat search inmates. Guidance for pat searches of transgender inmates is
provided in conjunction with the implementation of PREA standard 115.15. Pat searches
should be conducted in a professional and respectful manner and in the least intrusive manner
as possible consistent with security needs.
Individual transgender or intersex inmates will present different physical characteristics, which
may change over the course of incarceration. Staff members should be mindful of these
characteristics when conducting pat searches, and adjust procedures accordingly. For example,
if a transgendered inmate has or develops breasts, staff should use the back of the hand to
conduct a search of this area, as is appropriate for female inmates.
A transgendered inmate with breast removal would indicate the use 0 male pat search
procedures for the upper torso area.
A. Female Inmates
For a facility whose rated capacity does not exceed 50 inmates, cross-gender pat-down
searches of female inmates are not permitted absent exigent circumstances. Facilities shall not
restrict female inmates' access to regularly available programming or other out-of-cell
opportunities in order to comply with this provision.
B. Documentation of Cross-Gender Searches
Institutions must document all cross-gender strip searches and cross-gender visual body cavity
searches, and shall document all cross-gender pat-down searches of female inmates.
Cross-gender strip searches or cross-gender visual body cavity searches (meaning a search of
the anal or genital opening) are not permitted except in exigent circumstances or when
performed by medical practioners.
If there are any questions as to the appropriate search procedures for a transgendered inmate,
please consult supervisory staff.
V. REVIEW OF OBJECTIVES
Slide 17 - Review of Objectives
In review of our objectives, we have:
Identified the purpose and importance of conducting searches.
Introduction to Correctional Techniques
25
Conducting Searches
Phase I
Tab 22
EFTA00035905

=== Page 26 ===
April 2015
Instructor Guide
Identified the general guidelines for conducting searches.
Given an inmate's living area, an institution space or open area, and search equipment,
each participant conducted pat and area searches.
Identified the proper sequence of steps used in conducting a visual search, as delineated in
this course of instruction.
VI. SUMMARY
Slide 18 - Summary
There are several reasons why searches are conducted. The most important is that searches
help to protect staff, inmates, and the general public. Searches help us to maintain a safer
working environment for all. When conducting searches, it is important to be thorough and
systematic in your procedures.
As a correctional worker, remember:
Conducting searches is every correctional worker's duty and responsibility.
We conduct searches to prevent escapes by controlling the introduction and conveyance of
contraband into the institution.
Searches help ensure a safe working environment for yourself and other staff members and
a safe living environment for inmates.
Slide 19 - Thank You
Note:
Upon completion of the summary, ensure each participant had an opportunity to participate in all three
performance evaluations (area search, pat search, and visual scramble test).

Hello,
I'm a reporter with BuzzFeed News. I'm reaching out because we suspect one of the paramedics involved in responding the Jeffrey
Epstein call posted information online before it was reported in the mainstream media.
We were able to view posts on the website 4chan, frequented by far-right trolls, that were published a full 45 minutes before ABC news
first reported Epstein's death. I'd like to send you the posts to verify whether the information in them is correct and whether it could
have come to your team but in addition to that, do you have any statement on the situation?
Thank you,
Jane

Re:
EPSTEIN, Jeffrey, Federal Register No. 76318-054
United States V. Jeffrey Epstein, 19-cr-00490-RMB
Dear Chief Judge McMahon and Judge Berman:
I am writing to notify the Court of the death of Jeffrey Epstein, who passed away Saturday,
August 10, 2019, at around 7:37 a.m.
Mr. Epstein had been found unresponsive in his cell in the Special Housing Unit at around
6:30 am from an apparent suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New
York, New York. Responding staff immediately initiated life-saving measures and
requested emergency medical services (EMS), by whom Mr. Epstein was transported to a
local hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. Mr. Epstein was pronounced dead at
the New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital in New York, New York.
At this time, there are no preliminary reports identifying the exact cause of death. An
autopsy is pending, and we expect to have more information as to the cause of death from the
medical examiner in the near future. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is actively
investigating the incident.
EFTA00035425

=== Page 2 ===
MCC New York will provide an update to the Court as soon as the autopsy is completed and
the official cause of death is determined. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel
free to call me at
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Warden

Hi there,
I'm writing a piece for the site Gothamist about conditions at MCC. See allegations below, compiled from defense attorneys,
current prisoners and their loved ones. Please send comment ASAP if you would like to respond.
Regards
Aviva Stahl
- that some cells in the facility are covered in mold
- that some cells in the facility have separate spouts for hot and cold water, making it impossible for prisoners to take
showers at a reasonable temperature
- that prisoners at MCC are treated with disdain. They "be lucky if they were treated like dirt under somebody else's shoe,
but they're not even treated that well," said one lawyer
- that overcrowding, understaffing and underresourcing are grave problems at the facility ("whether its people who are
suicidal, people who need medical care, people who need psychiatric care, people who need spiritual guidance or religious
accommodation, people who need programming, so they don't just get warehoused there - all of that is lacking.")
- that in the spring of 2019, toilets on the women's floor at MCC flooded, and the women were forced to clean up the feces
themselves

Yes, I already went back there but he was in the shower. As soon as he is done showering and dressed, I will go back there

rather than keeping him on SW. I gave my justification and feel it is appropriate, but I just want to make sure I still feel that

Re:

United States v. Jeffrey Epstein, 19-cr-00490-RMB
Dear Judge Berman:
I am writing in regards to your August 12, 2019 inquiry whether the investigations referenced in my
August 10, 2019 letter will include the incident at MCC involving Mr. Epstein on or about July 23,
2019.
I can confirm that, although an internal investigation was completed regarding the July 23, 2019
incident, the current investigations by the FBI and OIG will include this incident as well.
Accordingly, I cannot divulge any information about the prior investigation at this time.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please
feel free to call me at
Sincerely,
Warden

I just got off the phone with Central Office and they are recommending we conduct a suicide risk assessment with this inmate when he
returns from court. Should he return from court and psychology is gone for the day, he is to go on PSYCHOLOGICAL OBSERVATION
unless, of course, he reports he is suicidal. In that case, he is to go on Suicide Watch. Inmate Epstein will likely be receiving bad
news in court today and has multiple risk factors for suicidality as identified by BOP statistics. Let's be proactive.
"This writer consulted with Dr.
,
Central Office, regarding inmate Epstein. Inmate Epstein has various risk factors for
suicidality including a high profile case with media attention, sex offense charges, pre-trial status, and a court proceeding today which
could potentially be giving him bad news regarding his legal situation. As such, when inmate Epstein returns from court, R&D staff as
well as Lieutenant's have been informed to immediately notify the psychology department. If he returns after duty hours, the
aforementioned staff were instructed to notify the on-call psychologist and to place inmate Epstein on a watch status until psychology
can conduct a thorough suicide risk assessment."
Thank you,
Psy.D.

witness statements and BOP records to better determine what the video depicted.

Senior Officer Specialist 6 told the OIG that on August 9, 2019, he worked in the Control Center from
approximately 4:00 p.m. until 12:00 a.m., and then he worked as an Internal Officer from 12:00 a.m. until
8:00 a.m. on August 10. According to Senior Officer Specialist 6, he took the August 9 10:00 p.m.
institutional count by himself in the Control Center, and assisted with the 12:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 5:00
a.m. counts on August 10 as an internal officer. Senior Officer Specialist 6 confirmed to the OIG, as MCC
New York records reflect, that he had received verbal counts from all units by 10:30 p.m., and further stated
that he had cleared the institutional count at 10:36 p.m., which was when paperwork was complete and the
count was officially complete.
Senior Officer Specialist 6 reviewed the MCC New York 10:00 p.m. institutional count, which showed that the
SHU had 73 inmates assigned, whereas the Receiving and Discharge Department had zero inmates assigned
to the unit. When questioned by the OIG about the 10:00 p.m. SHU count slip that listed "73+1" inmates
and was signed by the
and Noel, Senior Officer Specialist 6 told the OIG that he believed
that the "+1" on the count slip was in his handwriting. Senior Officer Specialist 6 also reviewed the 10:00
p.m. Receiving and Discharge count slip, which listed "9S + 1" on the count slip, and told the OIG that it was
his handwriting.³⁶ Senior Officer Specialist 6 explained that the "95 + 1" on the SHU count slip meant that he
was "ghost counting" the inmate (Inmate 4) who had been moved from the SHU, located in the 9 South area,
to the Receiving and Discharge area earlier that day. Senior Officer Specialist 6 said that because there
were, in actuality, only 72 inmates in the SHU during the 10:00 p.m. count, he should have written "73 1" on
the SHU count slip rather than "73 + 1".

Senior Officer Specialist 6 did not recall if he wrote on the count slips at the time of the 10:00 p.m. count or
during the 12:00 a.m. count when Inmate 4 was transferred in SENTRY from the SHU to Receiving and
Discharge. Senior Officer Specialist 6 told the OIG that if he had made the notations at the time of the 10:00
p.m. count, he should not have cleared the count. Instead, he should have created a new master count
sheet and requested that the SHU staff conduct a new count, provide a new count slip, and discard the
inaccurate SHU count slip. Senior Officer Specialist 6 told the OIG that an Operations Lieutenant would have

needed to authorize him to do the "ghost count" and write on the count slips, although he could not recall
precisely who gave him the authorization or when he had done so.

The 12:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. SHU Counts on August 10
During his interview with the OIG, Senior Officer Specialist 6 reviewed BOP records relating to the inmate
transfer, the 12:00 a.m. institutional count, and the housing unit count slips. Based on his review of this
material, Senior Officer Specialist 6 said the 12:00 a.m. SHU count slip was inaccurate because it continued
to list 73 inmates instead of the 72 inmates who were physically present in the SHU at that time. Senior
Officer Specialist 6 reviewed the institutional counts and SHU count slips for the 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
counts and told the OIG that they were accurate because they listed the SHU as having 72 inmates.

Senior Officer Specialist 6 said he responded to the emergency call at 6:33 a.m. and when he arrived, staff
members were already performing CPR on Epstein. Senior Officer Specialist 6 said he assisted with
transporting Epstein to the Health Services Unit, taking Epstein to the ambulance, and then followed the
ambulance to the hospital in another vehicle, and stayed at the hospital until he was relieved from duty.

Clearing the 10:00 p.m. Institutional Count Knowing that It Was Inaccurate
The OIG's investigation and review determined that on August 9, 2019, MCC New York staff cleared the
10:00 p.m. institutional count knowing that the inmate counts from two housing units were inaccurate.
During his OIG interview, Senior Officer Specialist 6, who was assigned to the Control Center, admitted that
he amended the 10:00 p.m. count slips he received from the SHU and Receiving and Discharge in an
attempt to reflect the correct number of inmates in the SHU following the internal inmate transfer that
resulted in a SHU inmate (Inmate 4) being moved to Receiving and Discharge earlier in the day. Senior
Officer Specialist 6 acknowledged that he should have requested a recount from the SHU, but instead he
cleared the 10:00 p.m. count. Senior Officer Specialist 6 explained that the action he took was known as
"ghost counting," something he said he would not have done without authorization from the Operations
Lieutenant or someone of a higher rank than himself.

The OIG found that Senior Officer Specialist 6 modified the count slips received from the SHU and Receiving
and Discharge, failed to request a recount of the SHU inmates, and cleared the 10:00 p.m. institutional
count knowing that it was inaccurate in violation of BOP policy and MCC New York SHU Post Orders.

Inmate Death at the MCC New York
New York, NY: On Saturday, August 10, 2019, at approximately 6:30 a.m., inmate Jeffrey
Edward Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell in the Special Housing Unit from an apparent
suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York, New York. Life-saving
measures were initiated immediately by responding staff. Staff requested emergency medical
services (EMS) and life-saving efforts continued. Mr. Epstein was transported by EMS to a local
hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries, and subsequently pronounced dead by hospital
staff. The FBI is investigating the incident.

Some changes were made and this is the latest. Please review and provide answers to the below - thanks.
Forwarded message
(1) Has Epstein's next of kin been notified?
(2) Did staff initiate life-saving measures when they first found Epstein at approximately 6:30 am in his cell?
(3) Did EMS or some sort of hospital staff come out to the institution, and if so, did they initiate life-saving measures at the
institution? And did EMS drive Epstein to the hospital or did BOP drive him to the hospital?
(4) Was Epstein pronounced dead by EMS (transporting folks) or instead hospital staff at 7:30 am at the hospital?
(5) Was the FBI notified? Is it being investigated as a suicide?
(6) What date did he first arrive at MCC NY on his PP37?
(7) What are his specific offense titles for which he is indicted? I believe generally the news calls it sex trafficking, but we
should be as specifically accurate based on Sentry (or the court order if we have it).

AW
I saw him before his Legal visit. He seems stable and is now at his Legal visit. I'll be coming in tomorrow before his Legal
visit to see him again.
He complained about being dehydrated because he stated he cannot drink enough water because of limited bathroom
breaks in Legal since he stated he sees his Attorney for about 12 hours.
He also complained about having to go back up to SHU. Being anxious about it and not being able to sleep there because
of the noise of inmates banging and screaming at night.

U.S. Department of Justice
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Metropolitan Correctional Center
New York, NY 10007
Institution
Supplement
OPI: CMC
NUMBER: NYM 7331.04e
DATE: November 13, 2014
SUBJECT: Pretrial Inmates
I.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE: The primary mission of the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), New
York, is to confine pretrial inmates for the United States Marshals (USM) Service. Pretrial inmates are
defined as those individuals who are legally detained, but for whom the Bureau of Prisons has not yet
received notification of conviction. Ordinarily, pretrial inmates will be separated, to the extent possible,
from convicted inmates. The purpose of this supplement is to establish the procedures and operations,
as well as staff responsibilities, for the operation of the institution, as it relates to pretrial inmates. It is
paramount this supplement is read in conjunction with the program statement as information stated in
national policy is not reiterated within.
II.
DIRECTIVES AFFECTED:
a.
Directives Rescinded: I.S. 7331.04d, Pretrial Inmates, dated June 25, 2009.
b.
Directives Referenced: P.S. 7331.04, Pretrial Inmates, dated January 31, 2003.
III.
PROCEDURES: MCC New York provides the care, custody, and control of inmates for the USM
Service, while they are in pretrial status. However, all pretrial inmates remain the responsibility of the
U.S. Marshal Service until they are convicted by the Court. In addition to pretrial inmates, MCC New
York also confines sentenced inmates and holdovers. Additionally, MCC New York houses inmates on
writs to the local district courts who have already been sentenced in other federal or state courts.
Although pretrial inmates are ideally separated from convicted inmates, it is not always possible or
practical to keep all pretrial inmates separate from those who have been convicted. Due to the unique
design, structure, and operation of MCC New York, staff may, based upon sound correctional judgment,
permit pretrial inmates, who do not present a risk to the security or orderly running of the institution, to
have regular contact with convicted inmates. Therefore, pretrial inmates at this facility may be housed
with convicted inmates, provided a waiver is signed. However, it is essential that pretrial inmates be
separated from sentenced inmates before and during the intake screening process.

A.
Procedures for Admission: The following procedures shall be followed when processing all
new commitments, to include the verification of commitment papers, and searches of inmates
and property.
1.
Inmates entering the Receiving and Discharge (R&D) area will be identified by
Correctional Systems (CS)staff, formerly Inmate Systems Management (ISM) staff via an
interview with the remanding official and the inmate. CS staff will review the Prisoner
Remand (BP377) for accurate and complete information. All legal documents delivered
with the inmate will be verified.
2.
All inmates will walk through a metal-weapon detector, be pat searched, and visually
searched; a hand-held metal detector may also be used. All inmate property will be
searched.
3.
Prior to being escorted to their assigned housing units, all new commitments will receive
two jumpsuits, two pair of socks, two pair of underwear, one ditty bag {a toothbrush,
toothpaste, a comb, and shaving cream}, one pair of tennis deck shoes, and one institution
bedroll {two blankets, two sheets, one pillow case, one towel, and one washcloth}.
Female pretrial inmates receive two pair of pants and shirts, versus jumpsuits, and two
bras.
B.
Intake Screening (Social Interview): Due to the lack of available information concerning
pretrial inmates, it is imperative a thorough intake screening is completed on all new
commitments. Unit team staff will conduct intake screening on all inmates committed to the
institution between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. If members of the
Unit Team are not available, a Lieutenant will conduct the intake screening. All staff members
conducting intake screening must be CIM certified.
1.
Staff conducting intake screening for new commitments will receive a SENTRY generated
Intake Screening form (BP-64) from R&D staff once the inmate has been loaded into
SENTRY. Staff must pay special attention to the CMC Clearance and Separatee Data
printout attached to the Intake Screening form. If SENTRY is not operational, staff should
utilize the manual Intake Screening form (BP-312) {Attachment A}. If possible, the staff
member conducting the intake screening should obtain pertinent information from the
Deputy U.S. Marshal, or arresting agent, committing the inmate. Staff conducting the
intake screening must review the U.S. Marshals Remand to Custody form to determine the
offense with which the inmate is being charged. The interviewer should notate if the
inmate is charged with a sophisticated crime, such as, Racketeering or Engaging in a
Continuing Criminal Enterprise, or a violent offense such as, Murder, Bank Robbery, or

Extortion. The staff member conducting the interview will document any security
concerns on the Intake Screening form. Staff will also assess the inmate's physical and
mental condition, and document his/her conclusions on the Intake Screening form. If a
psychological condition is noted, screening staff must notify the Duty Psychologist
immediately of any noted mental concerns inmate. If on a weekend, the screening staff
must call the on call Duty Psychologist to interview the inmate. If available, the staff
member conducting the screening must review the Pre-Sentence Report and the Central
File. The staff member's review of this material shall be documented on the Intake
Screening form. Finally, the staff member conducting the interview will determine if the
inmate can be placed in the general population of this institution. If the inmate's placement
in general population would pose a threat to the security or orderly running of the
institution, the Operations Lieutenant should be notified in order for the inmate to be placed
in Administrative Detention. The conclusion that the inmate warrants placement in
Administrative Detention should be documented directly on the Intake Screening form.
This form must be signed by the staff member conducting the intake screening. When
intake screening court returns, the supplement on Intake Screening must be reviewed. A
separate questionnaire will be completed which addresses all questions on the SENTRY
generated form. All intake screening must occur in the privacy of a room with only the
inmate being intake screened and staff. If a notorious pretrial inmate, an inmate whose
presence could attract undue attention to the Bureau of Prisons, or an inmate who requires a
higher degree of security based on a serious volatile background or violent crime is
committed, the intake screener will make copies of (Inmate Alert Notice) for the
Supervisory Correctional Systems Specialist (SCSS), CMC, SIS Office, the Lieutenant's
Office and the Captain. The Captain will then notify the Warden and Executive staff.
2.
The staff member conducting the intake screening will ensure the intake screening form is
Filled out completely and correctly, to include all times and dates. The staff member
conducting the intake screening must also ensure the following forms are completed:
a.
Pretrial Inmate Notice of Separation/Work Waiver, BP-S203.073: Staff will
ensure Section II of this form is completed for each new pretrial inmate. If a
pretrial inmate refuses to sign this form, staff will document this fact and any
reasons the inmate provides for refusing to sign on the form. Each new pretrial
inmate should also be asked to complete Section IV of this form, the work waiver
section. If a pretrial inmate does not wish to volunteer for a work assignment,
this fact should also be documented on the form.
If an inmate's ability to comprehend this waiver appears questionable, a referral to
Psychology Services will be made for determination of competency.

the inmate's status be completed upon his/her commitment. This form must be
completed and signed by the staff member conducting the intake screening
interview.
c.
Acknowledgment of Inmates (BP407 and 408): Staff must either have each
inmate read or read to each inmate the policies/procedures on these forms; staff
must cross off the method of advisement not used. Staff must ensure these forms
are completed in their entirety.
3.
The intake screener is also responsible for distributing the "Inmate Rights and
Responsibilities" to all new commitments. The intake screener will ensure each inmate
acknowledges his/her receipt of the rights and responsibilities by circling the appropriate
response on the Intake Screening form and signing it. If an inmate refuses to sign the
BP-64 to acknowledge receipt of the rights and responsibilities, staff shall document this
fact on the form. The completed BP-64 shall be filed in the inmate's unit management
file, hereinafter called the drop file.
4.
CS staff are responsible for reviewing the U.S. Marshals receipt to review the status of
those inmates returning from court each day. If an inmate's pretrial status changes, ISM
staff will make the necessary changes in SENTRY. ISM staff is also responsible for
interviewing the escorting Deputy U.S. Marshal to determine if any unusual
circumstances occurred in court which could affect an inmate's classification at this
institution.
5.
All new commitments will be issued the pamphlet entitled "Sexual Abuse/Assault
Prevention and Intervention."
C.
Medical Intake Screening and Procedures:
1.
All new commitments are examined by a physician's assistant. The physician's assistant
will screen all inmates in accordance with BOP medical procedures to determine if there
are any reasons for not placing the inmate in general population, or for restricting work
assignments. Specific attention shall be given to evidence of depression and potential
suicide, and whether the inmates are victims of recent sexual assaults during a period of
incarceration. A copy of the completed Intake Screening Medical form (BP-354) will be
placed in the inmate's file maintained in Correctional Systems. All pretrial inmates will
receive a complete medical screening within fourteen days of their arrival at this facility.

2.
The Health Services Department will conduct sick call, triage, and physical exams for
each housing unit Monday through Friday. Medical emergencies are handled
immediately.
3.
Medical staff is on duty seven days a week, in the event of a medical emergency. Pretrial
inmates receive the same level of basic medical care, including dental care, provided to
sentenced inmates. The decision to defer or deny elective medical procedures shall be
based on the same policies or guidelines which apply to sentenced inmates. The
transient nature of pretrial inmates often precludes many elective procedures.
Emergency medical treatment is provided in accordance with local procedures, for both
pretrial and sentenced inmates. The Unit Manager is responsible for preparing a letter
from the Warden to the Judge, through the U.S. Marshal, to notify the Court of any
inmate receiving any psychiatric medication and/or any other medication that may alter
the inmates courtroom behavior. It has been established locally that the medications
which fall under the realm of "psychiatric medication which may affect courtroom
behavior" are anti-psychotic, anti-manic, and on occasion, anti-depressants medications.
The Pharmacist is responsible for providing the respective Unit Manager a list of inmates
prescribed either anti-psychotic or anti-manic medication on a daily basis. The
Psychiatrist will provide the Unit Manager with a list of inmates prescribed
anti-depressants when he believes the medication "may affect courtroom behavior."
(See Attachment B). A copy of this letter will be sent to the Assistant United States
Attorney (AUSA), the USM, and the inmate's attorney, via the AUSA. A copy of this
letter will also be put in the inmate's medical file and forwarded to Psychology. These
same procedures apply to inmates committed for 4241(a) and 4242 psychological studies.
D.
Housing: Pretrial inmates, who are appropriate for general population, are placed in one of the
seven general population housing units; six male units and one female unit. Five male housing
units contain secure two-man rooms; four units have a capacity of housing 96 inmates; one unit
has the capacity to house 94 inmates. There is one male dormitory unit which has the capacity
of housing 156 inmates. The female unit houses 79 inmates and housing style varies from two
to six woman rooms.
1. Unit Assignment: Due to the unique nature and structure of this facility, the MCC has the
capability of housing inmates who must be separated from one another. Therefore, as long
as an inmate does not present any unusual security or medical concerns which would require
his/her placement in Administrative Detention, pretrial inmates will be assigned housing
units in general population using their separation needs as the primary factor. The officer
assigned to the Counts and Assignments (C&A) Office is responsible for ensuring that
inmates are initially placed in the appropriate housing units. This decision will be based
upon accessing SENTRY and determining the inmate's separation needs; and also
information provided by unit staff, ISM staff, or a Lieutenant.

MCC New York's unique design and mission require that many activities are provided on
the units (i.e., meal serving, pill line, recreation); the units are partially self-sufficient
requiring movement off the unit only for purposes of medical care, outdoor recreation,
law library, some educational classes, movement to court, and attorney meetings.
2.
Procedures: Unit Managers are responsible for the operations within their housing units,
to include sanitation, clothing, property, feeding, recreation, etc. Ordinarily, Unit
Managers may change an inmate's quarters assignment for valid reasons. Unit staff must
review an inmate's CMC Clearance and Separatee Data before moving an inmate. Prior
to moving an inmate classified as a disruptive group member or in the posted picture file,
the Unit Manager must confer with the SIS Office to ensure there exists no other security
reason preventing the move. To avoid sensitive information being brought onto the
units, the Unit Managers can confer with the CMC who has SENTRY access to Security
Threat Group (STG) information. Also, the Unit Manager must consult with the C&A
Officer before making the move to ensure the institutional count is not disrupted and for
further review of the inmate's CMC Clearance and Separatee Data.
3.
High Security Cases: Those inmates identified as requiring a greater degree of security
and control, but who do not require placement in the Special Housing Unit, are to be
placed on higher floors for increased security. Pretrial inmates whose presence in the
general population would pose a threat to the security or orderly running of the institution
will be housed in administrative detention in the Special Housing Unit.
E.
Admission and Orientation (A&O): An Institutional A&O Program for pretrial inmates is not
required. Based on the extreme population pressures, unique needs to separate inmates by floor
and constant movement, inmates identified in this section will not be required to receive
institution and unit A & O, however, upon intake screening they will receive the following:
1. Inmate Rights and Responsibilities (located in the A & o Handbook)
2. Bureau Prohibited Acts and Disciplinary System (located in the A & O Handbook)
3. Completion of the Inmate Acknowledgment Forms (BP-S407/408)
A&O Handbooks are posted on all general population units in English and Spanish. All new
commitments housed in the Special Housing Unit receive a copy of the handbook.
F.
Visiting: Immediate family members and one person of "meaning" will be placed on the visiting
list absent strong circumstances that preclude visiting. Immediate family is defined as mother,
father, step-parents, step-children, foster parents, grand-children, brothers, sisters, spouse and
children. As the situation presents itself, other non-immediate family members will be allowed
to visit at the approval of the Associate Warden of Programs (AWP). Further, in circumstances,
when an inmate requests more than ten visitors to be placed on their visiting list, the Unit
Manager will approve / deny any visitor exceeding the limit. Pretrial inmates may complete a

visiting list for immediate family members as soon as they reach their assigned housing unit.
Pretrial inmates have the opportunity for social visits once a week. Ordinarily, each social visit
will last a maximum of one hour, the exception to this policy being when a visitor traveled more
than three hours. Visiting hours for pretrial inmates are from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., and from
5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday. The visiting day for each unit remains the same,
yet the times change every other week to enable visitors to come in the afternoon and the
evening.
G.
Pretrial Inmate Reviews: The Unit Manager is responsible for scheduling and documenting
pretrial inmate reviews for all pretrial inmates assigned to his/her unit. Each pretrial inmate
committed to this institution will be scheduled for a review within 21 days of admission.
Subsequent reviews will be conducted every 90 days. It is the responsibility of the Case
Manager and the Counselor to obtain the necessary information in order to hold a meaningful
review. The Pretrial Inmate Review Report (BP-S561.073) shall be used to document these
reviews. If an inmate refuses to attend a scheduled review, staff shall document the refusal, and if
known, the reason. The emphasis of this review will be placed on the inmate's current legal
proceedings, institutional adjustment, work/sanitation evaluations, and program recommendation
based on needs and availability. The unit team should also review the inmate's CIM status, and
document the review in the file (i.e. on team sheet, activity record in FOI Exempt section). Unit
staff should also verify the accuracy of all load data and update Sentry as needed. A pretrial
inmate review must have at a minimum, two Unit Staff in attendance. A docket containing the
names of general population inmates scheduled for review should be posted in the multipurpose
area of the unit at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled review.
The Unit Manager is also responsible for monitoring the inmate's pretrial status. Once an
inmate pleads guilty/is convicted, the inmate's Admission/Release status should be updated by
CS to reflect holdover status rather than pretrial status. These inmates are no longer considered
to be pretrial inmates. Once the inmate changes to A-HLD status, conducting a team is no longer
necessary. However, the Case Manager shall ensure that monitoring of these cases are
conducted informally through an informal interview documented on the Activity Log. Unit staff
must carefully monitor the status of the cases of those inmates who have been identified as
requiring a greater degree of security and control, or those inmates involved in high profile cases.
All pretrial inmates are normally classified as IN custody. Ordinarily, there should be no reason
to consider changing a pretrial inmate's custody. Changes in the custody levels of pretrial
inmates should only occur in rare cases. If unusual circumstances occur, the unit team must
refer a recommendation to increase an inmate's custody from IN to MAXIMUM to the Warden
for approval. The Regional Director must approve a reduction of a pretrial inmate's custody
from IN to a lower custody level.

H.
File Accountability: Unit Management inmate files will be maintained in the CS. All files
must be maintained consistent with the Program Statement and supplement pertaining to central
files. All files are to be counted quarterly, with a SENTRY generated roster. All files must be
secured at all times and no file may be left in a staff's office overnight. For specific handling
procedures, the supplement on central files should be referenced.
I.
Property: Beyond those items issued by CSstaff during the admission process, section III(A)(3)
within, further clothing is issued by the Laundry Department to balance out the amount allowed
by local policy. Approved clothing for pretrial inmates is listed in the institution supplement on
Inmate Personal Property. Other items such as bar soap, laundry detergent, additional
disposable razors, paper, pencils, and envelopes are distributed on each housing unit.
Once arraigned and remanded to custody, all personal clothing will be shipped to an address
provided by the inmate. Lock boxes are not used at this facility. The committing federal agents
of newly arrested persons who have not been arraigned are responsible for safeguarding all
money and valuable items until inmates are remanded to custody, at which time the inmates will
forward all valuables to a person identified by themselves; monies will be credited to their
commissary accounts.
A pretrial inmate may have two sets of court clothes delivered to the institution for a jury trial or
for sentencing. Court clothing requests must be approved by a member of the unit team 48
hours prior to the delivery of the clothing. Clothing exchange is Mondays, Wednesdays,
Thursdays, and Fridays from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., excluding holidays, in the front lobby.
Pretrial inmates may retain clothing items such as T-shirts, shorts, sweatshirts and sweatpants
purchased at other institutions. Pretrial inmates may also retain all legal work, including audio
tapes, pertaining to their current legal action.
J.
Education: The Education Department provide pretrial inmates with educational opportunities
such as Adult Continuing Education (ACE). The Education Department maintains the
institution's law library. A satellite law library is also maintained in the Special Housing Unit.
Pretrial inmates have the opportunity to spend a reasonable amount of time to do legal research
and prepare legal documents in the Law Library. More specifically, to obtain certain legal
materials pretrial inmates may make copies of legal materials via use of the debit card system.
Inmates who claim indigence must obtain the Indigence Form in Education and have it approved
by their unit team. Inmates may check out materials by consulting with staff from the Education
Department. The Education Department will provide current newspapers, including Spanish
Newspapers, to each pretrial unit.

K. Recreation: Pretrial inmates may participate in recreation activities from 6:00 a.m. until 11:00
p.m., except during official counts. Movies are shown on the units on weekends via the
Closed-Circuit Television System. The Recreation Department conducts outdoor recreation
seven days a week, and rotates the pretrial units' access to the roof on a daily basis. Pretrial
inmates have access to approximately five hours of outdoor recreation a week.
L.
Legal Resources: The institution's Legal Department will coordinate and approve all legal
activities unique to a pretrial facility. Examples of these activities include arranging
co-defendant meetings, and providing inmates and defense attorneys with video tape players to
review video tapes. Unit staff will deliver audio tapes to those inmates who receive them from
their defense attorney or the U.S. Attorney's Office. Unit staff will also provide inmates with
tape players to review their tapes. Read-only computer CD access is available in the Education
Department if inmates' attorneys send legal material on CDs. Pretrial inmates may make
unmonitored calls to his/her attorney by submitting a request to a member of their unit team.
Staff will not limit a pretrial inmate's access to unmonitored legal calls, however, these calls are
granted to the extent that staff resources allow and must meet the requirements as stated in the
Program Statement Legal Activities, Inmate. All legal mail sent to pretrial inmates is opened in
their presence. Pretrial inmates may meet with their attorneys in the Attorney Conference Room
ordinarily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., each day, including weekends and holidays. Exceptions
to these times are made on a case by case basis.
M.
Institutional Work Assignments: All pretrial inmates are responsible for housekeeping tasks
in their rooms and in the common living areas. Pretrial inmates may be assigned as unit
orderlies and receive performance pay. Each pretrial unit shall have no more than 12 orderly
positions. Pretrial inmates may also be assigned a work detail outside the confines of the unit,
provided the inmates do not have separatees in the building and are not a security risk. The unit
team will review each inmate's eligibility for a work assignment during pretrial inmate reviews.
A pretrial inmate does not earn extra good time. The unit team must ensure Section IV of the
Notice of Separation/Work Waiver form is executed prior to an inmate's assignment to any work
detail. Any pre-trial inmate, not on writ from a state facility, whose status changes to holdover
by virtue of the fact the inmate has been convicted or pled guilty, is eligible to work. This
policy is contingent upon the fact the inmate does not have any separatees in the building.
N.
Community Activities: All pretrial inmates remain in the custody of the USM Service until
convicted by the Court, and therefore, are not eligible for community-based activities. In the
case of an emergency, unit staff shall facilitate contact with the pretrial inmate's attorney, who
may seek from the Court a decision concerning release from custody, or an escorted trip.
Additionally, unit staff will notify the U.S. Attorney's Office and the USM of the emergency.
Staff shall document contact with each of these agencies in the inmate's file. Release of the
inmate requires a Court Order, and an escorted trip must be approved by the Court. Ordinarily,
the USM Service will provide the escorts. This rule does not apply to emergency medical trips
to a local hospital.

O.
Religious Programs: Pretrial inmates in general population may participate in religious group
activities. Staff may enlist the aid of contract or volunteer personnel to assist in the ministering
of pretrial inmates. Due to the large number of separatees housed at this facility, any inmate
who appears on the institution's daily separation roster may not attend group services in the
Chapel located on Unit 5 North. Religious services for female inmates will be conducted in the
programs room of the female unit. Pretrial inmates who have separatees, and those housed in
the Special Housing Unit, must be ministered to individually on his/her unit. Inmates have the
opportunity to fill out a Religious Preference Summary during Intake Screening
P.
Marriage: Pretrial inmates may request permission to marry in accordance with current BOP
policy. Unit staff shall contact the Court, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and in the case of an alien,
the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to advise them of the marriage request of
the inmate and to request their comments.
Q.
Psychiatric and Psychological Counseling: Due to the transient nature of pretrial inmates,
individual counseling is limited to inmate needs, resolutions, and crisis intervention. Pretrial
inmates may be allowed the opportunity to receive counseling services by submitting a "Request
to a Staff Member" to the Psychology Department. Further, should inmates have any drug
dependency issues the 40-Hour Drug Program is available to pretrial male and female inmates
via submitting a "Request to a Staff Member" to the Psychology Department.
R.
Death or Serious Illness: In the event of death or serious illness, unit staff shall prepare letters,
for the Warden's signature, notifying the committing Court, the United States Attorney, the
inmate's attorney of record, and the designated family member or next of kin, and other agency
with an interest (i.e. Consulate).
S.
Discipline: Pretrial inmates are required to abide by the Bureau of Prisons rules and
regulations. New commitments are provided with the inmates' rights and responsibilities.
Regulations pertaining to discipline - prohibited acts, types of disciplinary actions which may be
taken, and the disciplinary system within the institution - are posted on all units, except in the
Special Housing Unit, and are explicit in the Admission and Orientation Booklet.
The respective Unit Manager is responsible for ensuring a letter, signed by the Warden, is
forwarded to the Court, through the U.S. Marshal, advising the Court of any findings of guilt, for
serious high and greatest severity incident reports, by the Discipline Hearing Officer (DHO).
Furthermore, if the inmate violates any of the rules and regulations of the Bureau of Prisons, a
letter will be sent to the United States Probation Office and prosecuting Assistant United States
Attorney which specifies all violations. Upon an inmate's plea of guilt/conviction, the discipline
history of the inmate will be reviewed by the respective Unit Manager, or designee.

I visited inmate Epstein in SHU on Thursday. He was getting ready to meet with his attorneys for the day
so I had gone to visit him right after the SHU meeting. He had a cell mate at the time with whom I saw
him interact with. He did not report any mental health concerns and he denied any suicidal thoughts or
intention. He was asking this writer to go to general population and was making requests for various
needs he had at the time. He wanted social calls without them being on a speaker phone. He wanted a
book he had left in the suicide watch area. His mood was not depressed or anxious. There were no signs
of distress. He had planned on meeting with his attorneys to work on his legal situation.

FORMS LATER OF
Central Office
Office of the Director
Washington, DC 20534
June 16, 2023
MEMORANDUM FOR
ASSISTANT INSPECTOR GENERAL
INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Response to the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) Draft Report:
Investigation and Review of the Federal Bureau of Prisons' Custody, Care,
and Supervision of Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center
in New York, New York
The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) appreciates the opportunity to formally respond to the Office of the
Inspector General's above-referenced draft report. BOP values OIG's careful review of the facts and
circumstances surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein and will utilize this report to apply lessons
learned where applicable to the broader BOP correctional landscape. Under its current leadership, BOP
is committed to improving the agency's ability to meet its mission. In fact, in April of this year, BOP
announced its new mission as "corrections professionals who foster a humane and secure environment
and ensure public safety by preparing individuals for successful reentry into our communities." BOP
must treat the adults in its custody with dignity and respect and ensure they receive necessary medical
and mental health care on an individualized basis, consistent with sound correctional judgment.
However, certain recommendations from this report appear to reflect an assumption that because a
limited number of employees at MCC New York failed to adhere to BOP policies and practices, those
policies and practices must themselves be flawed. As an agency with more than 35,000 employees
across more than 120 facilities, BOP believes that employees who fail to adhere to the law, regulations,
and BOP's own policies must be held accountable. However, the vast majority of BOP's employees
work tirelessly under challenging conditions. We must be careful not to ascribe the facts specific to the
Jeffrey Epstein incident at MCC New York to BOP's entire workforce. Using the Jeffrey Epstein
incident as a basis for overhauling national policies and practices without evaluating whether similar
trends exist at other locations or considering the role of employee accountability and training could be
detrimental to sound correctional practices.
BOP previously provided OIG its technical assessment of these recommendations in an effort to
resolve potential concerns prior to the publication of this report. BOP appreciates OIG's review of this

Page 2 of 6
information and looks forward to working with OIG to address any remaining unresolved issues in the
immediate future. BOP's specific comments regarding OIG's recommendations are as follows:
Recommendation One: The BOP should implement a process for assigning a cellmate
following suicide watch or psychological observation.
BOP's Response: Although BOP cannot concur with this recommendation based on its current
wording, BOP agrees to implement a process for assigning a cellmate following suicide watch or
psychological observation whenever appropriate for the individual and when security concerns
allow.
BOP's current process, updated in the years following Jeffrey Epstein's death, already takes an
individualized approach to the care and custody of adults in custody in the context of suicide
watch and psychological observation. Upon removal from suicide watch or psychological
observation, psychologists make individualized care recommendations about clinical follow-up
and other custodial concerns, including housing and cellmates. Mental health, custody, and unit
team staff work collaboratively to ensure each individual removed from suicide watch has a
cellmate whenever clinically and correctionally appropriate. In the event an individual is
determined to have moderate to high baseline risk for suicide and no suitable cellmate can be
identified, continued placement on suicide watch is to be considered. BOP provides guidance
through national trainings each fiscal year for its psychologists about individualized care
recommendations.
It is not sound correctional practice to apply a one size fits all approach regardless of a person's
individual needs and without factoring the safety of others or the security concerns of the
institution. For example, some persons may be extremely violent or pose a risk to other adults in
custody at the conclusion of suicide watch. Additionally, some of these persons may require
protective custody from others and placing them with a cellmate may create additional risk to
their safety. An adult in custody's status post suicide watch or psychological observation cannot
be the sole factor considered in cellmate placement; sound correctional judgement must be
utilized and is vital to the safe and orderly operations of BOP's institutions. Therefore, at times,
single celling may be the only sound correctional decision for an individual who has been
removed from suicide watch or psychological observation. However, single-celling is routinely
monitored by each region in the BOP.
Recommendation Two: The BOP should establish procedures to ensure inmates at high risk for
suicide and for whom a cellmate is recommended will continue to have a cell mate until the
recommendation is changed or rescinded, including establishing a contingency plan for cellmate
re-assignment, ensuring that another cellmate can be assigned efficiently.
BOP's Response: BOP concurs with this recommendation insofar as BOP agrees to establish
procedures to ensure adults in custody at high risk for suicide and for whom a cellmate is
appropriate and recommended will continue to have a cellmate until the recommendation is
changed or rescinded.

June 15, 2023
Page 3 of 6
BOP's current process already takes an individualized approach to the care and custody of adults
in custody in the context of suicide watch and psychological observation. Upon removal from
suicide watch or psychological observation, individualized care recommendations are made by
psychologists, custody, and unit team for each individual. BOP already makes each celling
assignment on an individual basis for persons deemed to be at moderate to high risk for suicide.
These considerations include both mental health and custodial concerns. Psychology Services,
Correctional Services, and Unit Team work closely to monitor individuals identified to be at risk
for suicide to determine placement considerations. BOP uses the Psychology Advisory List
(PAL) and PSY ALERT status to monitor those individuals whom employees should have
heightened awareness. These codes ensure employees are better able to monitor individuals at
risk for suicide to ensure they have an appropriate cellmate.
Regarding contingency planning, BOP has serious concerns about "contingency-planning" for
cellmates for adults in custody at high risk for suicide. The process of assessing this procedure
is impossible given the number of individuals determined high risk, the frequency of movement,
and the complexity of security concerns. Movement is frequent among BOP's mainline facilities
and even more so at pre-trial facilities. It is not feasible to maintain accurate, individualized
contingency plans listing several back-up individuals for each high-risk individual in its custody.
Identifying appropriate cellmates is best done in real time with the most current information,
resulting in the safest outcomes.
Recommendation Three: The BOP should implement a process that requires approval to be
obtained and documented for social or legal visits while an inmate is on suicide watch or
psychological observation.
BOP's Response: Although BOP cannot concur with this recommendation based on its current
wording, BOP agrees to evaluate its processes and train its employees to ensure approval is
obtained and documented for social or legal visits while an adult in custody is on suicide watch
or psychological observation. Pre-trial institutions such as MCC New York have supplemental
policy to address legal visits for persons on suicide watch. MCC New York had an appropriate
institutional supplement to address this issue but did not adhere to that policy. As noted above,
BOP will evaluate Program Statement 5324.08 and other relevant program statements to
determine an effective method for integrating information from the local Suicide Prevention
Coordinator regarding individuals' current stressors and protective factors into the Warden's
decision-making process.
Recommendation Four: The BOP should improve its methods of accounting for inmate
whereabouts and wellbeing by expanding institutional controls, training, and documentation.
BOP's Response: Although BOP cannot concur with this recommendation based on its current
wording, BOP agrees to improve its methods for holding employees accountable for failing to
account for adult in custody whereabouts and wellbeing as required through established
institutional controls and documentation. BOP respectfully asserts that its current
EFTA00035927

=== Page 4 ===
OIG Official Draft Report: BOP's Care, Custody, and Supervision of Jeffrey Epstein at MCC
New York, New York
June 15, 2023
Page 4 of 6
policies already require personnel to account for adult in custody whereabouts and wellbeing.
Program Statement 5500.14 outlines basic principles of accountability, such as count procedures,
census checks, control center records, daily change/transfer sheet, adult in custody callouts.
Policy also mandates institutions to develop a supplement which outlines adult in custody
accountability, specifically census checks.
The OIG report's findings indicate a lack of employee accountability at MCC New York during
the period when this incident occurred. BOP acknowledges the lack of accountability at MCC
New York and is committed to ensuring its employees are appropriately trained and held
accountable. This includes employees being held accountable for the completion of job duties
involving controlling and documenting adult in custody movement, observation, and related
activities.
Recommendation Five: BOP policy should clarify what is required of a lieutenant when
conducting a round.
BOP's Response: BOP concurs with this recommendation and intends to clarify what is required
of a lieutenant when conducting a round.
Recommendation Six: The BOP should develop and implement a plan to address staffing
shortages at its prisons.
BOP's Response: BOP agrees that hiring and retaining qualified personnel is a key priority.
BOP has already developed and implemented a multi-pronged approach that involves enhanced
recruitment efforts and appropriate incentives. However, the scope of OIG's work in this
product was limited to the investigation and review of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide at MCC New
York and OIG did not request or give the BOP an opportunity to address the significant work
that has already been undertaken regarding staffing.
Further, we disagree with the inference in this recommendation that a staffing shortage
compounded the issues in this incident. While we recognize the statement by one employee that
rounds were not conducted because they were tired, the incident did not result from lack of
staffing. The Special Housing Unit was fully staffed on all three shifts prior to Jeffrey Epstein's
suicide, with employees who chose not to conduct rounds.¹ OIG's position that employees failed
to attend to their duties as a result of staffing challenges is tenuous and alleviates the
responsibility of employees to perform duties during their scheduled shifts. This responsibility is
carried out by the vast majority of BOP's employees every day and ensures the safety and
security of those in our care and custody. The negligence of specific employees at MCC New
York in their duties should not be excused by reinforcing BOP's staffing challenges as the basis
for misconduct.
I OIG notes that these employees worked a 24-hour shift. Although these employees volunteered to work beyond 16
hours, BOP is examining options to ensure employees no longer work a consecutive 24-hour shift absent an
institution emergency.

New York, New York
June 15, 2023
Page 5 of 6
Recommendation Seven: The BOP should clarify and improve the cell search policy.
BOP's Response: BOP does not agree with this recommendation. BOP has established policy,
Program Statement 5521.06, Searches of Housing Units, Inmates, and Inmate Work Areas, and
Program Statement 5580.08, Inmate Personal Property, that outlines what an adult in custody is
allowed to have in their possession and defines contraband, to include procedures for handling it.
Program Statement 5270.11, Special Housing Units, outlines conditions of confinement, as well
as personal property allowed, within the Special Housing Unit. Controlling excessive property
and specifically linens is an employee performance and conduct issue rather than a policy issue.
It is not realistic or sound correctional practice for BOP's policy to specifically list each piece of
property an adult in custody may possess and the appropriate quantity for those items.
Additionally, institutions are required to supplement BOP cell search policy on a localized basis.
To insist upon an across-the-board national cell search requirement detailing specific item
restrictions fails to account for the wide variety of needs and diverse population of adults in
custody throughout BOP's many facilities. We do, however, believe that employees should be
held accountable when not following our policies.
Recommendation Eight: The BOP should enhance existing policies regarding institutional
security camera systems to ensure they specifically state that such systems must have the
capacity to record video and that BOP institutions must conduct regular security camera system
functionality checks.
BOP's Response: BOP concurs with this recommendation and agrees to enhance policies that
already exist to ensure institutional security camera systems have capacity to record video and
are regularly checked for functionality. BOP notes that policies already exist concerning
institutional security camera systems. Program Statement 5500.15, Correctional Services
Manual, requires an Institutional Supplement for Security Inspections/Searches, and specifically
states, "The Warden is to establish, by Institution Supplement, a security inspection system that
involves all departments. The Institution Supplement will include posts and areas required to
submit inspection forms, frequency of submission, guidelines for checking security features, and
reporting of weaknesses and inconsistencies."
Additional Concerns: While the above is our formal response to the recommendations, BOP
would also like to note our continued strong objections to some of the technical
language/inconsistencies/security concerns still included in the version of the report provided to
us on June 15th, 2023.
Specifically, BOP was unaware of any changes to Mr. Epstein's last will and testament prior to
his death, yet it is consistently mentioned in the report, leading the reader to conclude
differently (i.e., that BOP was aware prior to his death). Additionally, the report indicates that
there were delays in completing the camera upgrade/repair; however, BOP would like to note
that the upgrade/repair had been requested. Also, the BOP adamantly objects to the use of the

term "widespread" in relation to the failure of employees to follow policy. Finally, our concerns
regarding the specific language in relation to Special Housing Unit keys was inconsistent in the
report (i.e., differences in language were noted on pages iii, 23, and 96). We have attached all
of our technical comments to this memorandum.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this report. We look forward to OIG closing the
recommendations that the BOP has agreed to address.

Hello,
Epstein is pending a Code 228, Tattooing or Self-Mutilation and I spoke with
who indicated that most likely he will
be found competent because he is not mentally ill. We have supporting memorandums from the responding officers who
indicated they observed inmate Epstein with a makeshift noose around his neck. Therefore, he will be pending a UDC
hearing. Should he return to SHU, he will be housed with inmate

Below is the definition of Psychological Observation provided by
Chief Psychologist. He
will remain on Psychological Observation until tomorrow, where he will be reassessed.
DEFINITION: A Psychological Observation occurs when an inmate who suffers from a mental illness, a serious personality
disorder, a medical problem (impairing their mental status), or drug intoxication and/or withdrawal symptoms
begins to deteriorate. The inmate is no longer mentally stable and therefore, it is inappropriate for s/he to remain
in general population or the Special Housing Unit (SHU). Inmates placed on psychological observation differ
from inmates placed on suicide watch as they are not imminently suicidal (e.g., have not expressed self-harm or
engaged in self-harming behavior), but rather, due to his/her impairment in mental status or functioning (e.g.,
not eating, not sleeping, disorganized/unusual thinking, poor self-care), his/her behavior can be unpredictable.
Psychological Observation status is intended as a temporary designation to be utilized until such time as the
inmate becomes sufficiently stable (e.g., able to function independently in general population) to be returned to
his/her housing assignment or transferred to an inpatient psychiatric facility such as a Federal Medical Center.
He has a pending incident report for Self-Mutilation and therefore, he will return to the Special
Housing Unit (SHU) and will be celled with inmate
Inmate
pleaded guilty in March to mailing improvised explosive devices to 13 people,
including many prominent Democratic figures, among them former President Barack Obama, former
Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.) and
Kamala D. Harris (Calif.), as well as CNN. He drove around in a van festooned with political stickers
and rants, one of them targeting CNN. His case has been highly publicized and he is in SHU because
he requested Protective Custody.

totally. i wonder if
was embarrassed/introspective seeing a response like that. this is b/c of epstein. he was on SW but in regular
clothes on legal visit and
questioned it. i told
when she asked that we have done it this way in the past. in light of the
huge scar on epstein's neck (granted a ton of ambiguity surrounding the incident), he did need to be on SW yesterday. i guess we
should have declined his legal visit if we were following this other chief's advice
>>>
7/24/2019 8:40 AM
lol i love this guy's response. that if this is even a question, they probably shouldn't even be on watch. we put way too many people on
there. i'm even seeing the difference in BRO. they just don't function that way. guys come here from MCC and go to SHU, and tell staff
they want to go on SW, and the staff laugh at them, and the inmates tell them they were able to get on watch that way at MCC. and
the psych who responded to her is at Chicago, another detention center. so, I'm guessing they see a lot of the same things that we do,
and probably use SW less as an option.

however, he did not respond and she noticed red marks on his neck. The
inmate was placed in hand restraints and escorted to the Suicide Cell and
placed on Suicide Watch. While on watch, the inmate indicated that his
cell mate had attempted to kill him and had been harassing him and he had
informed his Attorney of this matter.

Below is the definition of Psychological Observation provided by Dr.
Chief Psychologist. He
will remain on Psychological Observation until tomorrow, where he will be reassessed.
DEFINITION: A Psychological Observation occurs when an inmate who suffers from a mental illness, a serious personality
disorder, a medical problem (impairing their mental status), or drug intoxication and/or withdrawal symptoms
begins to deteriorate. The inmate is no longer mentally stable and therefore, it is inappropriate for s/he to remain
in general population or the Special Housing Unit (SHU). Inmates placed on psychological observation differ
from inmates placed on suicide watch as they are not imminently suicidal (e.g., have not expressed self-harm or
engaged in self-harming behavior), but rather, due to his/her impairment in mental status or functioning (e.g.,
not eating, not sleeping, disorganized/unusual thinking, poor self-care), his/her behavior can be unpredictable.
Psychological Observation status is intended as a temporary designation to be utilized until such time as the
inmate becomes sufficiently stable (e.g., able to function independently in general population) to be returned to
his/her housing assignment or transferred to an inpatient psychiatric facility such as a Federal Medical Center.
He has a pending incident report for Self-Mutilation and therefore, he will return to the Special
Housing Unit (SHU) and will be celled with inmate
Inmate
pleaded guilty in March to mailing improvised explosive devices to 13 people,
including many prominent Democratic figures, among them former President Barack Obama, former
Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.) and
Kamala D. Harris (Calif.), as well as CNN. He drove around in a van festooned with political stickers
and rants, one of them targeting CNN. His case has been highly publicized and he is in SHU because
he requested Protective Custody.

Mr. Epstein Reg. 76318-054 arrived here at MCC New York on 7/6/2019 at 9:24 PM, he was placed in Special housing unit
until we can better evaluate him and find suitable housing for him. Today he was arraigned in court and upon his arrival will
be seen by Psychology and they will conduct a suicide risk assessment with this inmate when he returns from court. Should
he return from court and psychology is gone for the day, he is to go on PSYCHOLOGICAL OBSERVATION unless, of course, he
reports he is suicidal. In that case, he is to go on Suicide Watch.
There has been a few media inquires via phone calls however no information given. Media was staged around the back side
of our building and in front of the court house which is less then 100 yards apart from each other.
If you should have any additional questions and or concerns please feel free to contact me.
Thank you
EFTA00035370

Synopsis: On July 23, 2019, at 1:27 a.m., staff responded to a call for assistance in the
Special Housing Unit (SHU). Upon arrival, the Operations Lieutenant found inmate
Epstein, Jeffrey, Register No. 76318-054, lying on the floor in a fetal position. The
Lieutenant called out to the inmate; however, he did not respond and she noticed red
marks on his neck. The inmate was placed in hand restraints and escorted to the
Suicide Cell and placed on Suicide Watch. While on watch, the inmate indicated that
his cell mate had attempted to kill him and had been harassing him and he had informed
his Attorney of this matter.
Medical Assessment: The inmate was medically assessed at 6:30 a.m., by the
Physician Assistant and his findings were as follows:
He is ambulatory, oriented X 3. In no apparent distress, smiling during this clinical
encounter. Alleges, that he does not know what happened. Cannot explain the marks on
his neck. Responded: "I don't know".
He does not want to talk of the events leading to the marks on his neck.
He does not look in any distress or pain.
Has a circular line of erythema at the base of the neck. Reaching 2/3 of the neck
circumference, 2 inches wide, sparing the back of the neck. Has one section of this
erythema in the front with marks of friction.
No inflammation, no deformities, no hematomas, no lacerations, no tenderness. Patient
moving his neck without any restriction. Denies having any pain or discomfort. Denies
any respiratory problem.
Has another small erythema on left knee about 2cm in diameter (mild).
Psychologist Assessment: He was evaluated on today at 9:10 a.m., and it has been
determined he will remain on Suicide Watch for further observation.
Current Status: At this time, we are reviewing his case for placement in the general
population in Unit 7 South. We are currently looking for the appropriate cell mate.

breakfast to Epstein through the food slot in his locked
cell door, Epstein did not respond to Thomas's verbal
commands. Thomas unlocked the cell door and saw
Epstein hanged. Thomas immediately yelled for Noel
to get help and call for a medical emergency.
Thomas told the OIG that when he entered Epstein's
cell, Epstein had an orange string, presumably from a
sheet or a shirt, around his neck that was tied to the
top portion of the bunkbed. Epstein was suspended
from the top bunk in a near-seated position, with his
buttocks approximately 1 inch to 1 inch and a half off
the floor. Thomas said he immediately ripped the
orange string from the bunkbed, and Epstein's buttocks
dropped to the ground. Thomas then lowered Epstein's
body to the floor and began chest compressions until
responding MCC New York staff members arrived
approximately 1 minute later. Shortly thereafter,
outside medical personnel arrived and took over the
emergency response, eventually removing Epstein to a
local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
On August 11, 2019, the Office of the Chief Medical
Examiner performed an autopsy and determined the
cause of death was hanging and the manner of death
was suicide. Blood toxicology tests did not reveal any
medications or illegal substances in Epstein's system.
The Medical Examiner who performed the autopsy told
the OIG that Epstein's injuries were consistent with
suicide by hanging and that there was no evidence of
defensive wounds that would be expected if his death
had been a homicide. Epstein did not have marks on
his hands, broken fingernails or debris under them,
contusions to his knuckles that would have evidenced a
fight, or, other than an abrasion on his arm likely due to
convulsing from hanging, bruising on his body.
On August 10, at approximately 6:30 a.m., the two SHU
staff on duty,
and
Material Handler Michael Thomas, began delivering
breakfast to SHU inmates. Tova unlocked the door to
Epstein's SHU tier. When Thomas attempted to deliver

The OIG also found that several staff falsified BOP
records relating to inmate counts and rounds and
lacked candor during their OIG interviews. Two MCC
New York employees
and Thomas, were charged
criminally with falsifying BOP records. The charges
were later dismissed after they successfully fulfilled
deferred prosecution agreements.

Chapter 2: Background
I.
Significant Entities and Individuals
and Material Handler Michael Thomas began working together in MCC New
York SHU at 12:00 a.m. on August 10, 2019.⁵ During their shift, they each created and submitted falsified
official BOP forms documenting inmate counts (often referred to as "count slips"),
5
Thomas did not work his regular 4:00 p.m. to 12: 00 a.m.
shift as a Material Handler in a different location of MCC New York and instead worked an overtime shift in the SHU
from 12:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. on August 10, 2019.

On November 19, 2019, a federal grand jury of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
returned an indictment that charged
and Thomas with one count each of conspiracy and multiple
counts each of falsification of records, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1001(a)(3), and 2. The indictment
alleged that on August 9, 2019,
and that on August 10, 2019, both she and Thomas failed to conduct the
mandatory 12:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. counts and mandatory 30-minute rounds within the MCC
New York SHU. The indictment further alleged that
and Thomas created, certified, and submitted false
documentation indicating that the counts and rounds had been done as required to conceal their failure to
perform their assigned duties. As a result, it appeared from documentation that prisoners in the SHU,
including Epstein, were being regularly monitored when, in fact, no correctional officer had checked on
Epstein from approximately 10:40 p.m. on August 9, 2019, until approximately 6:30 a.m. on August 10, 2019,
when Epstein was found hanged in his cell.
On May 25, 2021, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York entered into deferred
prosecution agreements with
and Thomas. Their respective agreements, which are part of the court
record in their cases, included admissions by
and Thomas that they falsely certified that they had
conducted counts and rounds. The agreements also required each of them to truthfully and completely
disclose all information related to their activities and employment with the BOP; be interviewed by the U.S.
Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New York, the FBI, and the OIG; complete 100 hours of
community service; refrain from violating the law; and fulfill other conditions related to pretrial supervision
and their establishment of good behavior. On December 13, 2021, after
and Thomas successfully
fulfilled the terms of their deferred prosecution agreements as determined by the prosecutors, the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a nolle prosequi order and dismissed all charges
pending against them. Prosecution was declined by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of
New York for other BOP employees assigned to the SHU who also falsely certified inmate count slips and
round sheets on the day before and the day of Epstein's death.
As discussed in greater detail in Chapter 7 of this report, the OIG found that, in addition to
and
Thomas, many other MCC New York staff members engaged in administrative misconduct, exercised poor
judgment, and/or failed to adequately perform their assigned duties.
II.
Methodology
During the course of this investigation, the OIG interviewed 54 witnesses, several on more than one
occasion. The witnesses interviewed included
Thomas, and other MCC New York staff assigned to the
SHU on August 9-10, 2019; MCC New York supervisors at the time of Epstein's death, including
6 These BOP forms are officially entitled Official Count Slip" and "MCC New York, Special Housing Unit, 30 Minute
Check Sheet." Each of the six tiers in the SHU had a separate round sheet, each of which had 13 entries reflecting 30-
minute rounds were conducted, when they were not, in fact, completed.

Material Handler Michael Thomas told the OIG that he worked a shift in the SHU on August 10 from 12:00
a.m. until 8:00 a.m. Thomas said the SHU was not his normal post, but he had worked in the SHU on
numerous previous occasions and was familiar with the SHU protocols and procedures. Thomas said he
knew that if an inmate came off suicide watch or psychological observation, they should be assigned a
cellmate, and said he was aware that Epstein had previously been on suicide watch and psychological
observation. Therefore, Thomas assumed that Epstein was required to have a cellmate, but said no one had
spoken with him about that requirement. Thomas said the SHU staff should have notified the Operations
Lieutenant as soon as they knew that Epstein's cellmate had departed MCC New York on August 9.
However, Thomas said he did not know that Inmate 3 was removed from MCC New York on August 9, and
that Epstein was without a cellmate during his shift on August 10.

At approximately 12:00 a m. on August 10, 2019, Material Handler Thomas replaced the other Material
Handler, and he and
were the only two staff members on duty in the SHU.
and Thomas were
responsible for conducting the 12:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. counts in the SHU. Through review and
analysis of the SHU security camera video, witness statements, and BOP records, the OIG determined that
and Thomas did not perform any of these counts. Nonetheless
and Thomas completed and
signed SHU count slips for each of the three counts, and in reliance on the count slips, the Control Center
cleared the 12:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. institutional counts at approximately 12:49 a.m., 3:24 a.m.,
and 5:30 a.m., respectively
and Thomas both admitted to the OIG that they did not conduct the 12:00
a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m. counts on August 10, and that they had falsified the respective count slips.

Thomas told the OIG that since he had begun working with the BOP in 2007, he had worked in the SHU fairly
regularly and he was familiar with how to work in the SHU and how the SHU operated. Thomas described
his responsibilities while working in the SHU as to maintain the count of inmates, make sure the inmates are
fed, and, depending on the shift, make sure they get their showers. Thomas's Overtime Schedule showed
that he worked 21 shifts in the SHU during morning watch from May through August 2019. The overtime
schedule also showed that Thomas worked 12 overtime shifts in the SHU when Epstein was assigned to the
SHU in July and August 2019.
Thomas acknowledged that neither he nor Noel conducted any rounds or counts in the SHU during their
shift between approximately 12:00 a.m. and approximately 6:30 a.m. Thomas said the August 10, 2019
round sheets were signed, but the rounds were not conducted because he was tired that day. Thomas
recalled "dozing off from here and there" during his shift, but he did not know if Noel slept.
Thomas did not recall having a conversation with anyone concerning the discrepancy between the 12:00
a.m. SHU count slip, which listed 73 inmates, and the institutional count, which listed 72 inmates in the SHU.
Thomas said he had filled out and signed the 3:00 a.m. SHU count slip, which listed 72 inmates in the SHU.
Thomas did not know why the number of inmates was different on the 12:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. count slips
and did not recall speaking with the Morning Watch Operations Lieutenant about the 12:00 a.m. count.
Thomas told the OIG that he knew he was falsely certifying the count slips when he signed them on August
10, 2019.
37 This BOP form is officially entitled "MCC New York, Special Housing Unit, 30 Minute Check Sheet."

and Thomas both admitted to the OIG that they did not conduct any of the rounds reflected on the
SHU Round Sheet on August 10, 2019, from 12:00 a.m. until Epstein was found hanged in his cell at
approximately 6:30 a.m.
38 Through review and analysis of the SHU
video footage, witness statements, and BOP records, the OIG determined that
and Thomas did not
enter the tiers in the SHU to conduct any of the rounds and counts between 12:00 a.m. and approximately
6:30 a.m. on August 10.
and Thomas can be seen at the SHU Officers' Station, moving in the SHU
common area, and the SHU laundry and entrance/exit area throughout the morning of August 10.
Additionally, from approximately 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
and Thomas were seated at the SHU Officers'
Station without moving and appeared to be sleeping.
Thomas used the computer

were conducted, when they were not, in fact, completed.

VI.
Epstein's Death on August 10
A.
Discovery of Epstein Hanged in Cell and Emergency Response
On August 10, 2019, shortly after 6:00 a.m., the doorbell to the SHU rang, indicating that a delivery of
breakfast carts had arrived at the SHU,
and Thomas retrieved the breakfast carts from the double-
locked entrance to the SHU and brought them inside the SHU. At the time, Thomas and
were the only
officers in the SHU. At approximately 6:30 a.m., MCC New York security camera video recordings show
and Thomas walking toward the L Tier.
and Thomas told the OIG that at this time they were entering
the L Tier, in which Epstein was housed, to deliver breakfast to the inmates. As discussed previously,
between approximately 10:40 p.m. on August 9 and approximately 6:30 a.m. on August 10, the OIG did not
observe on the available recorded video any correctional officers or other individuals approach the L Tier
where Epstein was housed from the common area of the SHU.
Thomas told the OIG that he knocked on Epstein's cell door, saw a portion of Epstein through the window
but could not make out what he saw, so he said to Epstein, "Come to the door, come to the door." Thomas
said he did not observe any movement or hear a response, so he unlocked the cell door, entered the cell,
and saw Epstein hanged as described further below. Thomas said he immediately yelled for Noel to get
help, and that Noel activated a body alarm, signaling a medical emergency, and began taking the steps
described below.

Figure 5.3: Photograph of a Piece of Orange Cloth Hanging from the Bunkbed in Epstein's Cell
Following His Death
Thomas explained that when he first entered Epstein's cell,
Epstein had an orange string, presumably from a sheet or a
shirt, around his neck. The end of the string was tied to the
top portion of the bunkbed. Epstein was suspended from the
top bunk in a near-seated position, with his buttocks
approximately 1 inch to 1 inch and a half off the floor and his
legs extended out straight on the floor. Thomas said Epstein
did not look discolored or very different from when he last
saw Epstein alive. Thomas said he immediately ripped the
orange sheet or shirt away from the bunkbed, and Epstein's
buttocks dropped approximately 1 inch to 1 inch and a half to
the ground. Thomas then lowered Epstein's entire body to
the floor and, because he did not believe Epstein was
breathing, Thomas immediately began providing chest
compressions until responding MCC New York staff members
arrived approximately 1 minute later. Thomas said he did not
provide rescue breaths and was unaware if Epstein was dead
or alive because he never checked for a pulse before initiating
chest compressions. Thomas said medical personnel took
over the emergency response, including chest compressions
and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), when they arrived. Thomas said he assisted with
bringing Epstein down to the Health Services Unit on the second floor, and that he left MCC New York at
approximately 8:00 a.m. Thomas said he had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training during
MCC New York annual refresher training and had responded to medical emergencies in the past, but this
was the first time he was the first responder.
Thomas said he was present in the SHU for his entire shift on August 10, 2019, from 12:00 a.m. until the
time he attempted to deliver breakfast to Epstein at approximately 6:30 a.m., and did not see anyone go
inside Epstein's cell during his shift. Thomas said that he would have known if someone went in or out of
Epstein's cell, and said no one did. Thomas told the OIG that he could see Epstein's cell door from the SHU
Officers' Station, but he could not see inside the cell from that vantage point. Thomas said that it was not
possible for anyone to have entered the SHU without his knowledge because he or Noel would have had to
open the SHU door for anyone to gain entry. The only other key to the SHU was located in the Control
Center; no other MCC New York staff members had the keys required to gain access to the SHU. Moreover,
Thomas said that anyone attempting to access the L Tier where Epstein was located would have had to walk
directly in front of the SHU Officers' Station where Thomas was seated, and no one did. Thomas denied that
he or Noel had any role in Epstein's death.

Between approximately 10:40 p.m. on August 9 and just
before 6:30 a.m. on August 10, the OIG did not observe on the recorded video any Correctional Officer or
other individual enter any of the SHU tiers, which is consistent with
and
Material Handler Michael Thomas' admissions to the OIG that the SHU rounds and counts were not
conducted during that time frame.

Chapter 7: Conclusions and Recommendations
I.
Conclusions
Two MCC New York employees,
and Michael
Thomas, were charged criminally with falsifying BOP records relating to their conducting inmate counts and
rounds. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York subsequently entered into deferred
prosecution agreements with
and Thomas and the court dismissed all charges against them after
and Thomas successfully fulfilled the terms of their agreements.

The door to Epstein's cell was visible from the SHU Officers' Station, and
and
Material Handler Michael Thomas told the OIG that no one entered or exited Epstein's cell during their shift
on August 10. Both of them further described delivering breakfast to the L Tier at about 6:30 a.m. on August
10,
Thomas entered the L Tier and called for Epstein, and
then Thomas unlocked his cell door when Epstein failed to respond.
51 - The primary entrance doors to the MCC New York SHU are shown in Figure 4.1. Access to the secondary entrance to
the SHU, which was adjacent to the elevator bay on the south side of the floor, was also controlled by an exterior entry
door opened by the Control Center and an interior door opened only with a key held by one of the correctional officers
assigned to the SHU, while on duty. The secondary entrance doors to the SHU are shown in Figure 4.2.

52 Additionally, the OIG did not observe on the recorded video of the SHU common area that
and Thomas, who were seated at the desk at the SHU Officers' Station immediately outside the L tier during
that time period, at any time rose from their seats or approached the L Tier. We additionally found that
Thomas' and
reaction on the morning of August 10 upon finding Epstein hanging in his cell, as
described to us by Thomas,
was consistent with their being
unaware of any potential harm to Epstein prior to Thomas entering Epstein's cell at about 6:30 a.m. on
August 10.

Instead of performing the required duties to account for inmate whereabouts and wellbeing, the OIG found
that officers assigned to the SHU on August 9 and 10, including
and Thomas,
primarily remained seated in the SHU Officers' Station-sometimes without moving for a period of time,
suggesting that they were asleep-and conducted a variety of internet searches on MCC New York
computers. Thomas also admitted to the OIG that he "dozed off" for periods of time during his shift. The
OIG's analysis of the SHU security camera video revealed that after approximately 10:40 p.m., no
Correctional Officer entered Epstein's tier in the SHU until just before 6:30 a.m. when
and Thomas
began to serve breakfast to the inmates.
The OIG investigation and review concluded that
and Thomas failed to conduct the mandatory rounds and inmate counts during their
respective shifts in the MCC New York SHU on August 9 and 10, 2019, and that their actions constituted
violations of 5 C.F.R. §§ 2635.101(b)(5) and 2635.705(a), BOP Program Statements 3420.11 and 5500.14, and
MCC New York SHU Post Orders.
2.
False Statements and Lack of Candor
The OIG's investigation and review found that on August 9 and 10, 2019,
and Thomas made false statements when they falsified BOP records by
attesting that they had completed the mandatory rounds and inmate counts when, in fact, they had not.
Federal law provides that "whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive branch of the
Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully makes or uses any false writing or document
knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry" has violated
18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(3).
As discussed above, the OIG found that
and Thomas failed to conduct all of the mandatory rounds and inmate counts. As part of each
institutional inmate count, BOP policy and MCC New York SHU Post Orders require two correctional officers
to conduct each count and memorialize the number of inmates in the SHU on an official MCC New York
form, often called a count slip.69 On the count slip, both correctional officers are required to fill in the date
and time the count had been performed, write the total number of inmates physically present in the unit
counted, and then sign the count slip. Once the correctional officers complete and sign the count slips, the
count slips are then collected and delivered to the MCC New York Control Center. Officers assigned to the
Control Center are responsible for comparing the count slips from each housing unit to the institution's
overall inmate count sheet to ensure that each inmate was accounted for.⁷⁰ Only after all the count slips
have been collected from each housing unit, and the numbers on the count slips had been matched to the
69 This BOP form is officially entitled "Metropolitan Correctional Center; New York, New York; Official Count Slip."
70 The official name for the document used to record an institutional count is "Bureau of Prisons Count Sheet."

institution's overall inmate count sheet, could the institutional count be deemed "cleared" or completed.
and Thomas each prepared and/or
signed a false count slip to create the impression that they had fulfilled their inmate accountability
responsibilities when, in fact, they had not.⁷¹ These individuals admitted to the OIG that instead of
performing their assigned duties, they pre-filled the count slips with the number of inmates they believed
were in the SHU based on what officers from the previous shift had told them and signed off on the
documents knowing that they falsely attested to having completed the counts.
and Thomas were indicted by a grand jury for their false certifications of having conducted counts and
rounds. Subsequently, each entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office
for the Southern District of New York.
The OIG investigation has found that
and Thomas knowingly and willingly falsified BOP records in violation of federal law by attesting that they
had completed the mandatory rounds and inmate counts on the evening of August 9, 2019, and morning of
August 10, 2019.

Please review for accuracy before I send to
here is a timeline of his arrival at the MCC:
7/6/19: Arrived at NYM (Saturday) in the Receiving and Discharge area. Moved by staff to general population
(apparently USMS did not indicate that he was a high profile inmate and staff were unaware that he was coming
so no pkans had been established).
7/7/19: Warden idenfied him as high profile and moved him to Special Housing Unit due to his concerns for his
personal safety in general population.
7/8/19: Upon return of Psych Svc Staff on Monday, he was moved to Psychology Observation for evaluation by
Psych Svc Staff. This is NOT suicide watch and the system notes reflect suicide watch not warranted. He was
under 24 hour observation during this time to assess his readiness to move to SHU.
7/10/19: Returned to SHU with cell mate. Remains until 7/23.

I just got off the phone with Central Office and they are recommending we conduct a suicide risk assessment with this
inmate when he returns from court. Should he return from court and psychology is gone for the day, he is to go on
PSYCHOLOGICAL OBSERVATION unless, of course, he reports he is suicidal. In that case, he is to go on Suicide Watch.
Inmate Epstein will likely be receiving bad news in court today and has multiple risk factors for suicidality as identified by
BOP statistics. Let's be proactive.
"This writer consulted with Dr.
Central Office, regarding inmate Epstein. Inmate Epstein has various risk factors
for suicidality including a high profile case with media attention, sex offense charges, pre-trial status, and a court proceeding
today which could potentially be giving him bad news regarding his legal situation. As such, when inmate Epstein returns
from court, R&D staff as well as Lieutenant's have been informed to immediately notify the psychology department. If he
returns after duty hours, the aforementioned staff were instructed to notify the on-call psychologist and to place inmate
Epstein on a watch status until psychology can conduct a thorough suicide risk assessment."

Good Afternoon,
Yes, the camera system was scheduled to start March 17, 2019 and started on schedule. When I
arrived TDY February 2019 we, only had one Communication Technician. Therefore, after talking to
the regional office, they started a project to assist in funding and labor, so we were able to start the
week of March 17, 2019 for the camera system and all other infrastructure throughout the
institution.

Good Morning,
We are looking for Plumbers, HVAC, Electricians, General Maintenance and Comm Techs to come TDY to MCC
New York for 2 week tours, to complete the following tasks:
Misc plumbing repairs, Showers, toilets, sinks, leaks etc.
Refrigeration Unit & HVAC repairs, Duct work / Louver Repairs
General Food Service repairs
New Camera system installation (Conduit install and Wire Pulls)
Circulating Motor and Pump Repair
Repair of leaks in pipe chases throughout the institution
Installation of water coolers/ Ice Machines throughout the institution
Hydronic Heating Loop leak Repairs
The staff will be working 12 hour days to make repairs to the above items. Once I get a list of interested staff, a
schedule complied.
I would like first crews to arrive at the beginning of the next pay period (March 17th). So to the greatest extent
possible, NER and MXR staff first weeks because they are able to drive GOV's. Travel days will be the Sunday
before and Saturday after. In order to defray costs as much as possible, hotel arrangements have been made at
a location close to the institution that you are able to walk to and from and of course staff will be receiving per
diem. Parking will be provided at a location close to the institution. Please reply to this email if you have any
interested staff and the dates they are available that by leaving your institutions will not create a hardship for
your daily operation.
All expenses will be paid from Special Project #FMIS Project Request - 79F New York Repairs. Because this is a
MCC there are a very limited number of inmates that can assist, therefore the work will be
accomplished by staff only.
Thank you in advance and if there are further questions, please contact me or

Thank you very much. Per our telephone conversation, was the camera system that was already on
site and installed the week ending August 16, 2019, ever scheduled to be installed prior to August 10,
2019? If so, when was it scheduled to be installed and can you please provide documentation (i.e.
emails or other documents) supporting the date(s)? If not, why was it not scheduled to be installed
prior to August 10, 2019?
Thanks again for all of your assistance with this matter.

I didn't want to leave you hanging so this is what we know so far:
It appears that FedEx must recycle tracking numbers. The order was placed on 9/27/2018 from
SigNet to Qognify/Nice and the original PO shows it was shipped directly to the site MCC New York. It
shows that it was scheduled to ship on 9/30/2018 from Qognify. We currently don't have the tracking
that shows when you exactly received it but best guess is 7 to 14 days which would put it on your
dock around October 14th 2018 and it was installed the week of August 16th 2019.
We will continue to try and find the tracking information for when it actually hit your dock. Let me
know if you need anything else.

can you please confirm when the new camera system arrived at the MCC and when it was installed?
Thanks very much in advance. I hope you are well.

U.S. Department of Justice
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Metropolitan Correctional Center
New York, NY 10007
Institution
Supplement
OPI: CMC
NUMBER: NYM 7331.04e
DATE: November 13, 2014
SUBJECT: Pretrial Inmates
I.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE: The primary mission of the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC),
New York, is to confine pretrial inmates for the United States Marshals (USM) Service. Pretrial
inmates are defined as those individuals who are legally detained, but for whom the Bureau of Prisons
has not yet received notification of conviction. Ordinarily, pretrial inmates will be separated, to the
extent possible, from convicted inmates. The purpose of this supplement is to establish the procedures
and operations, as well as staff responsibilities, for the operation of the institution, as it relates to pretrial
inmates. It is paramount this supplement is read in conjunction with the program statement as
information stated in national policy is not reiterated within.
II.
DIRECTIVES AFFECTED:
a.
Directives Rescinded: I.S. 7331.04d, Pretrial Inmates, dated June 25, 2009.
b.
Directives Referenced: P.S. 7331.04, Pretrial Inmates, dated January 31, 2003.
III.
PROCEDURES: MCC New York provides the care, custody, and control of inmates for the USM
Service, while they are in pretrial status. However, all pretrial inmates remain the responsibility of the
U.S. Marshal Service until they are convicted by the Court. In addition to pretrial inmates, MCC New
York also confines sentenced inmates and holdovers. Additionally, MCC New York houses inmates
on writs to the local district courts who have already been sentenced in other federal or state courts.
Although pretrial inmates are ideally separated from convicted inmates, it is not always possible or
practical to keep all pretrial inmates separate from those who have been convicted. Due to the unique
design, structure, and operation of MCC New York, staff may, based upon sound correctional judgment,
permit pretrial inmates, who do not present a risk to the security or orderly running of the institution, to
have regular contact with convicted inmates. Therefore, pretrial inmates at this facility may be housed
with convicted inmates, provided a waiver is signed. However, it is essential that pretrial inmates be
separated from sentenced inmates before and during the intake screening process.

A.
Procedures for Admission: The following procedures shall be followed when processing all
new commitments, to include the verification of commitment papers, and searches of inmates
and property.
1.
Inmates entering the Receiving and Discharge (R&D) area will be identified by
Correctional Systems (CS)staff, formerly Inmate Systems Management (ISM) staff via an
interview with the remanding official and the inmate. CS staff will review the Prisoner
Remand (BP377) for accurate and complete information. All legal documents delivered
with the inmate will be verified.
2.
All inmates will walk through a metal-weapon detector, be pat searched, and visually
searched; a hand-held metal detector may also be used. All inmate property will be
searched.
3.
Prior to being escorted to their assigned housing units, all new commitments will receive
two jumpsuits, two pair of socks, two pair of underwear, one ditty bag {a toothbrush,
toothpaste, a comb, and shaving cream}, one pair of tennis deck shoes, and one
institution bedroll {two blankets, two sheets, one pillow case, one towel, and one
washcloth}. Female pretrial inmates receive two pair of pants and shirts, versus
jumpsuits, and two bras.
B.
Intake Screening (Social Interview): Due to the lack of available information concerning
pretrial inmates, it is imperative a thorough intake screening is completed on all new
commitments. Unit team staff will conduct intake screening on all inmates committed to the
institution between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. If members of
the Unit Team are not available, a Lieutenant will conduct the intake screening. All staff
members conducting intake screening must be CIM certified.
1.
Staff conducting intake screening for new commitments will receive a SENTRY generated
Intake Screening form (BP-64) from R&D staff once the inmate has been loaded into
SENTRY. Staff must pay special attention to the CMC Clearance and Separatee Data
printout attached to the Intake Screening form. If SENTRY is not operational, staff
should utilize the manual Intake Screening form (BP-312) {Attachment A}. If possible,
the staff member conducting the intake screening should obtain pertinent information from
the Deputy U.S. Marshal, or arresting agent, committing the inmate. Staff conducting the
intake screening must review the U.S. Marshals Remand to Custody form to determine the
offense with which the inmate is being charged. The interviewer should notate if the
inmate is charged with a sophisticated crime, such as, Racketeering or Engaging in a
Continuing Criminal Enterprise, or a violent offense such as, Murder, Bank Robbery, or
NYM 7331.04e

Extortion. The staff member conducting the interview will document any security
concerns on the Intake Screening form. Staff will also assess the inmate's physical and
mental condition, and document his/her conclusions on the Intake Screening form. If a
psychological condition is noted, screening staff must notify the Duty Psychologist
immediately of any noted mental concerns inmate. If on a weekend, the screening staff
must call the on call Duty Psychologist to interview the inmate. If available, the staff
member conducting the screening must review the Pre-Sentence Report and the Central
File. The staff member's review of this material shall be documented on the Intake
Screening form. Finally, the staff member conducting the interview will determine if the
inmate can be placed in the general population of this institution. If the inmate's
placement in general population would pose a threat to the security or orderly running of
the institution, the Operations Lieutenant should be notified in order for the inmate to be
placed in Administrative Detention. The conclusion that the inmate warrants placement in
Administrative Detention should be documented directly on the Intake Screening form.
This form must be signed by the staff member conducting the intake screening. When
intake screening court returns, the supplement on Intake Screening must be reviewed. A
separate questionnaire will be completed which addresses all questions on the SENTRY
generated form. All intake screening must occur in the privacy of a room with only the
inmate being intake screened and staff. If a notorious pretrial inmate, an inmate whose
presence could attract undue attention to the Bureau of Prisons, or an inmate who requires a
higher degree of security based on a serious volatile background or violent crime is
committed, the intake screener will make copies of (Inmate Alert Notice) for the
Supervisory Correctional Systems Specialist (SCSS), CMC, SIS Office, the Lieutenant's
Office and the Captain. The Captain will then notify the Warden and Executive staff.
2.
The staff member conducting the intake screening will ensure the intake screening form is
Filled out completely and correctly, to include all times and dates. The staff member
conducting the intake screening must also ensure the following forms are completed:
a.
Pretrial Inmate Notice of Separation/Work Waiver, BP-S203.073: Staff will
ensure Section II of this form is completed for each new pretrial inmate. If a
pretrial inmate refuses to sign this form, staff will document this fact and any
reasons the inmate provides for refusing to sign on the form. Each new pretrial
inmate should also be asked to complete Section IV of this form, the work waiver
section. If a pretrial inmate does not wish to volunteer for a work assignment,
this fact should also be documented on the form.
If an inmate's ability to comprehend this waiver appears questionable, a referral to
Psychology Services will be made for determination of competency.

b.
Pretrial Inmate Interview, BP-S562.073: This form must be completed in
conjunction with the Intake Screening Form. It is essential a thorough review of
the inmate's status be completed upon his/her commitment. This form must be
completed and signed by the staff member conducting the intake screening
interview.
c.
Acknowledgment of Inmates (BP407 and 408): Staff must either have each
inmate read or read to each inmate the policies/procedures on these forms; staff
must cross off the method of advisement not used. Staff must ensure these
forms are completed in their entirety.
3.
The intake screener is also responsible for distributing the "Inmate Rights and
Responsibilities" to all new commitments. The intake screener will ensure each inmate
acknowledges his/her receipt of the rights and responsibilities by circling the appropriate
response on the Intake Screening form and signing it. If an inmate refuses to sign the
BP-64 to acknowledge receipt of the rights and responsibilities, staff shall document this
fact on the form. The completed BP-64 shall be filed in the inmate's unit management
file, hereinafter called the drop file.
4.
CS staff are responsible for reviewing the U.S. Marshals receipt to review the status of
those inmates returning from court each day. If an inmate's pretrial status changes, ISM
staff will make the necessary changes in SENTRY. ISM staff is also responsible for
interviewing the escorting Deputy U.S. Marshal to determine if any unusual
circumstances occurred in court which could affect an inmate's classification at this
institution.
5.
All new commitments will be issued the pamphlet entitled "Sexual Abuse/Assault
Prevention and Intervention."
C.
Medical Intake Screening and Procedures:
1.
All new commitments are examined by a physician's assistant. The physician's assistant
will screen all inmates in accordance with BOP medical procedures to determine if there
are any reasons for not placing the inmate in general population, or for restricting work
assignments. Specific attention shall be given to evidence of depression and potential
suicide, and whether the inmates are victims of recent sexual assaults during a period of
incarceration. A copy of the completed Intake Screening Medical form (BP-354) will
be placed in the inmate's file maintained in Correctional Systems. All pretrial inmates
will receive a complete medical screening within fourteen days of their arrival at this
facility.

2.
The Health Services Department will conduct sick call, triage, and physical exams for
each housing unit Monday through Friday. Medical emergencies are handled
immediately.
3.
Medical staff is on duty seven days a week, in the event of a medical emergency.
Pretrial inmates receive the same level of basic medical care, including dental care,
provided to sentenced inmates. The decision to defer or deny elective medical
procedures shall be based on the same policies or guidelines which apply to sentenced
inmates. The transient nature of pretrial inmates often precludes many elective
procedures. Emergency medical treatment is provided in accordance with local
procedures, for both pretrial and sentenced inmates. The Unit Manager is responsible
for preparing a letter from the Warden to the Judge, through the U.S. Marshal, to notify
the Court of any inmate receiving any psychiatric medication and/or any other medication
that may alter the inmates courtroom behavior. It has been established locally that
the medications which fall under the realm of "psychiatric medication which may affect
courtroom behavior" are anti-psychotic, anti-manic, and on occasion, anti-depressants
medications. The Pharmacist is responsible for providing the respective Unit Manager a
list of inmates prescribed either anti-psychotic or anti-manic medication on a daily basis.
The Psychiatrist will provide the Unit Manager with a list of inmates prescribed
anti-depressants when he believes the medication "may affect courtroom behavior."
(See Attachment B). A copy of this letter will be sent to the Assistant United States
Attorney (AUSA), the USM, and the inmate's attorney, via the AUSA. A copy of this
letter will also be put in the inmate's medical file and forwarded to Psychology. These
same procedures apply to inmates committed for 4241(a) and 4242 psychological studies.
D.
Housing: Pretrial inmates, who are appropriate for general population, are placed in one of the
seven general population housing units; six male units and one female unit. Five male housing
units contain secure two-man rooms; four units have a capacity of housing 96 inmates; one unit
has the capacity to house 94 inmates. There is one male dormitory unit which has the capacity
of housing 156 inmates. The female unit houses 79 inmates and housing style varies from two
to six woman rooms.
1. Unit Assignment: Due to the unique nature and structure of this facility, the MCC has the
capability of housing inmates who must be separated from one another. Therefore, as long
as an inmate does not present any unusual security or medical concerns which would require
his/her placement in Administrative Detention, pretrial inmates will be assigned housing
units in general population using their separation needs as the primary factor. The officer
assigned to the Counts and Assignments (C&A) Office is responsible for ensuring that
inmates are initially placed in the appropriate housing units. This decision will be based
upon accessing SENTRY and determining the inmate's separation needs; and also
information provided by unit staff, ISM staff, or a Lieutenant.

MCC New York's unique design and mission require that many activities are provided on
the units (i.e., meal serving, pill line, recreation); the units are partially
self-sufficient
requiring movement off the unit only for purposes of medical care, outdoor
recreation,
law library, some educational classes, movement to court, and attorney meetings.
2.
Procedures: Unit Managers are responsible for the operations within their housing units,
to include sanitation, clothing, property, feeding, recreation, etc. Ordinarily, Unit
Managers may change an inmate's quarters assignment for valid reasons. Unit staff
must review an inmate's CMC Clearance and Separatee Data before moving an inmate.
Prior to moving an inmate classified as a disruptive group member or in the posted
picture file, the Unit Manager must confer with the SIS Office to ensure there exists no
other security reason preventing the move. To avoid sensitive information being
brought onto the units, the Unit Managers can confer with the CMC who has SENTRY
access to Security Threat Group (STG) information. Also, the Unit Manager must
consult with the C&A Officer before making the move to ensure the institutional count is
not disrupted and for further review of the inmate's CMC Clearance and Separatee Data.
3.
High Security Cases: Those inmates identified as requiring a greater degree of security
and control, but who do not require placement in the Special Housing Unit, are to be
placed on higher floors for increased security. Pretrial inmates whose presence in the
general population would pose a threat to the security or orderly running of the institution
will be housed in administrative detention in the Special Housing Unit.
E.
Admission and Orientation (A&O): An Institutional A&O Program for pretrial inmates is
not required. Based on the extreme population pressures, unique needs to separate inmates by
floor and constant movement, inmates identified in this section will not be required to receive
institution and unit A & O, however, upon intake screening they will receive the following:
1. Inmate Rights and Responsibilities (located in the A & O Handbook)
2. Bureau Prohibited Acts and Disciplinary System (located in the A & O Handbook)
3. Completion of the Inmate Acknowledgment Forms (BP-S407/408)
A&O Handbooks are posted on all general population units in English and Spanish. All new
commitments housed in the Special Housing Unit receive a copy of the handbook.
F.
Visiting: Immediate family members and one person of "meaning" will be placed on the visiting
list absent strong circumstances that preclude visiting. Immediate family is defined as mother,
father, step-parents, step-children, foster parents, grand-children, brothers, sisters, spouse and
children. As the situation presents itself, other non-immediate family members will be allowed
to visit at the approval of the Associate Warden of Programs (AWP). Further, in circumstances,
when an inmate requests more than ten visitors to be placed on their visiting list, the Unit
Sensitive Limited Official Use Only
EFTA00035399

=== Page 7 ===
Manager will approve / deny any visitor exceeding the limit. Pretrial inmates may complete a
NYM 7331.04e
Pretrial Inmates
Page 7
visiting list for immediate family members as soon as they reach their assigned housing unit.
Pretrial inmates have the opportunity for social visits once a week. Ordinarily, each social visit
will last a maximum of one hour, the exception to this policy being when a visitor traveled more
than three hours. Visiting hours for pretrial inmates are from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., and from
5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday. The visiting day for each unit remains the same,
yet the times change every other week to enable visitors to come in the afternoon and the
evening.
G.
Pretrial Inmate Reviews: The Unit Manager is responsible for scheduling and documenting
pretrial inmate reviews for all pretrial inmates assigned to his/her unit. Each pretrial inmate
committed to this institution will be scheduled for a review within 21 days of admission.
Subsequent reviews will be conducted every 90 days. It is the responsibility of the Case
Manager and the Counselor to obtain the necessary information in order to hold a meaningful
review. The Pretrial Inmate Review Report (BP-S561.073) shall be used to document these
reviews. If an inmate refuses to attend a scheduled review, staff shall document the refusal, and
if known, the reason. The emphasis of this review will be placed on the inmate's current legal
proceedings, institutional adjustment, work/sanitation evaluations, and program recommendation
based on needs and availability. The unit team should also review the inmate's CIM status, and
document the review in the file (i.e. on team sheet, activity record in FOI Exempt section).
Unit staff should also verify the accuracy of all load data and update Sentry as needed. A
pretrial inmate review must have at a minimum, two Unit Staff in attendance. A docket
containing the names of general population inmates scheduled for review should be posted in the
multipurpose area of the unit at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled review.
The Unit Manager is also responsible for monitoring the inmate's pretrial status. Once an
inmate pleads guilty/is convicted, the inmate's Admission/Release status should be updated by
CS to reflect holdover status rather than pretrial status. These inmates are no longer considered
to be pretrial inmates. Once the inmate changes to A-HLD status, conducting a team is no longer
necessary. However, the Case Manager shall ensure that monitoring of these cases are
conducted informally through an informal interview documented on the Activity Log. Unit staff
must carefully monitor the status of the cases of those inmates who have been identified as
requiring a greater degree of security and control, or those inmates involved in high profile cases.
All pretrial inmates are normally classified as IN custody. Ordinarily, there should be no
reason to consider changing a pretrial inmate's custody. Changes in the custody levels of
pretrial inmates should only occur in rare cases. If unusual circumstances occur, the unit team
must refer a recommendation to increase an inmate's custody from IN to MAXIMUM to the
Warden for approval. The Regional Director must approve a reduction of a pretrial inmate's
custody from IN to a lower custody level.

H.
File Accountability: Unit Management inmate files will be maintained in the CS. All files
must be maintained consistent with the Program Statement and supplement pertaining to central
files. All files are to be counted quarterly, with a SENTRY generated roster. All files must be
secured at all times and no file may be left in a staff's office overnight. For specific handling
procedures, the supplement on central files should be referenced.
I.
Property: Beyond those items issued by CSstaff during the admission process, section III(A)(3)
within, further clothing is issued by the Laundry Department to balance out the amount allowed
by local policy. Approved clothing for pretrial inmates is listed in the institution supplement on
Inmate Personal Property. Other items such as bar soap, laundry detergent, additional
disposable razors, paper, pencils, and envelopes are distributed on each housing unit.
Once arraigned and remanded to custody, all personal clothing will be shipped to an address
provided by the inmate. Lock boxes are not used at this facility. The committing federal
agents of newly arrested persons who have not been arraigned are responsible for safeguarding
all money and valuable items until inmates are remanded to custody, at which time the inmates
will forward all valuables to a person identified by themselves; monies will be credited to their
commissary accounts.
A pretrial inmate may have two sets of court clothes delivered to the institution for a jury trial or
for sentencing. Court clothing requests must be approved by a member of the unit team 48
hours prior to the delivery of the clothing. Clothing exchange is Mondays, Wednesdays,
Thursdays, and Fridays from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., excluding holidays, in the front lobby.
Pretrial inmates may retain clothing items such as T-shirts, shorts, sweatshirts and sweatpants
purchased at other institutions. Pretrial inmates may also retain all legal work, including audio
tapes, pertaining to their current legal action.
J.
Education: The Education Department provide pretrial inmates with educational opportunities
such as Adult Continuing Education (ACE). The Education Department maintains the
institution's law library. A satellite law library is also maintained in the Special Housing Unit.
Pretrial inmates have the opportunity to spend a reasonable amount of time to do legal research
and prepare legal documents in the Law Library. More specifically, to obtain certain legal
materials pretrial inmates may make copies of legal materials via use of the debit card system.
Inmates who claim indigence must obtain the Indigence Form in Education and have it approved
by their unit team. Inmates may check out materials by consulting with staff from the
Education Department. The Education Department will provide current newspapers, including
Spanish Newspapers, to each pretrial unit.

K. Recreation: Pretrial inmates may participate in recreation activities from 6:00 a.m. until 11:00
p.m., except during official counts. Movies are shown on the units on weekends via the
Closed-Circuit Television System. The Recreation Department conducts outdoor recreation
seven days a week, and rotates the pretrial units' access to the roof on a daily basis. Pretrial
inmates have access to approximately five hours of outdoor recreation a week.
L. Legal Resources: The institution's Legal Department will coordinate and approve all legal
activities unique to a pretrial facility. Examples of these activities include arranging
co-defendant meetings, and providing inmates and defense attorneys with video tape players to
review video tapes. Unit staff will deliver audio tapes to those inmates who receive them from
their defense attorney or the U.S. Attorney's Office. Unit staff will also provide inmates with
tape players to review their tapes. Read-only computer CD access is available in the Education
Department if inmates' attorneys send legal material on CDs. Pretrial inmates may make
unmonitored calls to his/her attorney by submitting a request to a member of their unit team.
Staff will not limit a pretrial inmate's access to unmonitored legal calls, however, these calls are
granted to the extent that staff resources allow and must meet the requirements as stated in the
Program Statement Legal Activities, Inmate. All legal mail sent to pretrial inmates is opened in
their presence. Pretrial inmates may meet with their attorneys in the Attorney Conference
Room ordinarily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., each day, including weekends and holidays.
Exceptions to these times are made on a case by case basis.
M.
Institutional Work Assignments: All pretrial inmates are responsible for housekeeping tasks
in their rooms and in the common living areas. Pretrial inmates may be assigned as unit
orderlies and receive performance pay. Each pretrial unit shall have no more than 12 orderly
positions. Pretrial inmates may also be assigned a work detail outside the confines of the unit,
provided the inmates do not have separatees in the building and are not a security risk. The unit
team will review each inmate's eligibility for a work assignment during pretrial inmate reviews.
A pretrial inmate does not earn extra good time. The unit team must ensure Section IV of the
Notice of Separation/Work Waiver form is executed prior to an inmate's assignment to any work
detail. Any pre-trial inmate, not on writ from a state facility, whose status changes to holdover
by virtue of the fact the inmate has been convicted or pled guilty, is eligible to work. This
policy is contingent upon the fact the inmate does not have any separatees in the building.
N.
Community Activities: All pretrial inmates remain in the custody of the USM Service until
convicted by the Court, and therefore, are not eligible for community-based activities. In the
case of an emergency, unit staff shall facilitate contact with the pretrial inmate's attorney, who
may seek from the Court a decision concerning release from custody, or an escorted trip.
Additionally, unit staff will notify the U.S. Attorney's Office and the USM of the emergency.
Staff shall document contact with each of these agencies in the inmate's file. Release of the
inmate requires a Court Order, and an escorted trip must be approved by the Court. Ordinarily,
the USM Service will provide the escorts. This rule does not apply to emergency medical trips
to a local hospital.

O.
Religious Programs: Pretrial inmates in general population may participate in religious group
activities. Staff may enlist the aid of contract or volunteer personnel to assist in the ministering
of pretrial inmates. Due to the large number of separatees housed at this facility, any inmate
who appears on the institution's daily separation roster may not attend group services in the
Chapel located on Unit 5 North. Religious services for female inmates will be conducted in the
programs room of the female unit. Pretrial inmates who have separatees, and those housed in
the Special Housing Unit, must be ministered to individually on his/her unit. Inmates have the
opportunity to fill out a Religious Preference Summary during Intake Screening
P.
Marriage: Pretrial inmates may request permission to marry in accordance with current BOP
policy. Unit staff shall contact the Court, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and in the case of an alien,
the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to advise them of the marriage request of
the inmate and to request their comments.
Q.
Psychiatric and Psychological Counseling: Due to the transient nature of pretrial inmates,
individual counseling is limited to inmate needs, resolutions, and crisis intervention. Pretrial
inmates may be allowed the opportunity to receive counseling services by submitting a "Request
to a Staff Member" to the Psychology Department. Further, should inmates have any drug
dependency issues the 40-Hour Drug Program is available to pretrial male and female inmates
via submitting a "Request to a Staff Member" to the Psychology Department.
R.
Death or Serious Illness: In the event of death or serious illness, unit staff shall prepare
letters, for the Warden's signature, notifying the committing Court, the United States Attorney,
the inmate's attorney of record, and the designated family member or next of kin, and other
agency with an interest (i.e. Consulate).
S.
Discipline: Pretrial inmates are required to abide by the Bureau of Prisons rules and
regulations. New commitments are provided with the inmates' rights and responsibilities.
Regulations pertaining to discipline - prohibited acts, types of disciplinary actions which may be
taken, and the disciplinary system within the institution - are posted on all units, except in the
Special Housing Unit, and are explicit in the Admission and Orientation Booklet.
The respective Unit Manager is responsible for ensuring a letter, signed by the Warden, is
forwarded to the Court, through the U.S. Marshal, advising the Court of any findings of guilt, for
serious high and greatest severity incident reports, by the Discipline Hearing Officer (DHO).
Furthermore, if the inmate violates any of the rules and regulations of the Bureau of Prisons, a
letter will be sent to the United States Probation Office and prosecuting Assistant United States
Attorney which specifies all violations. Upon an inmate's plea of guilt/conviction, the
discipline history of the inmate will be reviewed by the respective Unit Manager, or designee.

I visited inmate Epstein in SHU on Thursday. He was getting ready to meet with his attorneys for the day so I
had gone to visit him right after the SHU meeting. He had a cell mate at the time with whom I saw him interact
with. He did not report any mental health concerns and he denied any suicidal thoughts or intention. He was
asking this writer to go to general population and was making requests for various needs he had at the time. He
wanted social calls without them being on a speaker phone. He wanted a book he had left in the suicide watch
area. His mood was not depressed or anxious. There were no signs of distress. He had planned on meeting with
his attorneys to work on his legal situation.

MEMORANDUM FOR
ASSISTANT INSPECTOR GENERAL
INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION
FROM:
hief
External Auditing Branch
SUBJECT:
Status Update to the Office of Inspector General's (OIG)
Final Report dated June 26, 2023: Investigation and Review of the Federal
Bureau of Prisons' Custody, Care, and Supervision of Jeffrey Epstein at the
Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, New York
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) appreciates the opportunity to provide a response to the Office
of the Inspector General's above referenced memorandum received on August 28, 2024. The FBOP
has completed its review of the analysis and offers the following status update regarding the analysis
and its recommendations.
Recommendation One: The BOP should implement a process for assigning a cellmate
following suicide watch or psychological observation, with criteria for exceptions based on
the particular individual or security considerations.
OIG Analysis: The BOP's update is responsive to the recommendation. In a previous update, the
BOP reported that RSD and CPD were collaborating on a memo to provide guidance to the field on a
process to ensure psychologists make recommendations regarding housing, including the presence of
a cellmate, for individuals in custody following suicide watch or psychological observation. The BOP
further reported that this process will include exemptions based on individual or security
considerations. In a February 2024 update, the BOP indicated that this guidance had been drafted and
was under review. The BOP has now stated that the guidance is still under review. Accordingly, the
OIG will consider whether to close this recommendation after the BOP (1) finalizes the guidance
referenced in its update, and (2) provides the finalized guidance to the OIG for review.
EFTA00035919

=== Page 2 ===
FBOP Response: As indicated in FBOP's previous status update, guidance is currently in
development. FBOP has determined that the appropriate vehicle for this guidance is Program
Statement 5321.09, Unit Management and Inmate Program Review, rather than in the form of a
guidance memorandum. FBOP therefore plans to replicate in that policy the tracking process
already established for single cells in Program Statement 5270.12, Special Housing Units, but
apply it to general population. The modification to the Unit Management and Inmate Program
Review policy will prescribe a specific process for single-cell placement and tracking only if
single-cell placement in general population appears necessary, mirroring the language
pertaining to the process in the policy for SHU.
The modification to the Unit Management and Inmate Program Review policy will explain that,
if it appears necessary to single cell an individual in a general population unit during regular
working hours, the Unit Manager will contact the Captain and Chief Psychologist (or designee)
for their recommendations. If a single cell is required after hours or on weekends, the Operations
Lieutenant will contact the Captain and Chief Psychologist (or designee) telephonically for their
recommendations. Monitoring single-celling in the general population will be recorded on
"BP-A1121 CO Single Cell Review Form-GP" (see attachment). This form will be signed by the
Warden as soon as feasible following the placement of an individual in a single cell. These forms
will be reviewed and discussed during the weekly multidisciplinary team meetings and the
recommendations (to continue or discontinue) will be recorded by the Unit Manager in
TRUSCOPE, as a "daily log entry."
Because revisions to Programs Statements must follow the normal FBOP development and
Union negotiation process, they are subject to change. FBOP will provide further updates they
become available.
Recommendation Two: The BOP should establish procedures to ensure inmates at high
risk for suicide and for whom a cellmate is recommended will continue to have a cellmate
until the recommendation is changed or rescinded, including establishing a contingency
plan for cellmate re-assignment, with criteria for exceptions based on the particular
individual or security considerations.
OIG Analysis: The BOP's update is responsive to the recommendation. In a previous update,
the BOP reported that RSD and CPD were collaborating on a memo to provide guidance to the
field on procedures to ensure communication regarding the requirement of a cellmate for
individuals following suicide watch or psychological observation when recommended by a
psychologist. The BOP further reported that this memo will include a procedure for exemptions
based on individual or security considerations. In a February 2024 update, the BOP indicated that
this guidance had been drafted and was under review. The BOP has now stated that the guidance
is still under review. Accordingly, the OIG will consider whether to close this recommendation
after the BOP (1) finalizes the guidance referenced in its update, and (2) provides the finalized
guidance to the OIG for review.
FBOP Response: As indicated in FBOP's previous status update, guidance is currently in
development. Further, as stated in the response to Recommendation 1, above, FBOP has
EFTA00035920

=== Page 3 ===
determined that the appropriate vehicle for this guidance is Program Statement 5321.09, Unit
Management and Inmate Program Review, rather than in the form of a guidance memorandum.
FBOP therefore plans to replicate in that policy the tracking process already established for
single cells in Program Statement 5270.12, Special Housing Units, but apply it to general
population. The modification to the Unit Management and Inmate Program Review policy will
prescribe a specific process for single-cell placement and tracking only if single-cell placement
in general population appears necessary, mirroring the language pertaining to the process in the
policy for SHU.
Because revisions to Programs Statements must follow the normal FBOP development and
Union negotiation process, they are subject to change. FBOP will provide further updates they
become available.
Recommendation Three: The BOP should evaluate its current process for obtaining and
documenting approval for social or legal visits while an inmate is on suicide watch or
psychological observation, which allows for institution-specific variations in the process,
and provide guidance on standard components that each institution should include in its
process to mitigate security issues that can arise when an inmate is on suicide watch or
psychological observation.
OIG Analysis: The BOP's update is responsive to the recommendation. In a previous update,
the BOP reported that it was evaluating its process for obtaining and documenting approval for
social and/or legal visits while an inmate is on suicide watch or psychological observation. In a
February 2024 update, the BOP reported that while it currently does not have guidance on these
issues, new guidance had been drafted and was under review. The BOP has now stated that the
guidance is still under review. Accordingly, the OIG will consider whether to close this
recommendation after the BOP (1) finalizes the guidance referenced in its update, and (2)
provides the finalized guidance to the OIG for review.
FBOP Response: As indicated in its previous status update, FBOP was developing guidance
with regard to its process for obtaining and documenting approval for social and/or legal visits
while an inmate is on suicide watch or psychological observation. However, upon further
consideration, FBOP has determined that this guidance should not be in the form of a guidance
memorandum, but should instead be included in Program Statement 5324.08, Suicide Prevention
Policy. Therefore, FBOP is in the process of altering that policy accordingly. Because revisions
to Programs Statements must follow the normal FBOP development and Union negotiation
process, they are subject to change. FBOP will provide further updates they become available.
Recommendation Four: The BOP should evaluate its methods of accounting for inmate
whereabouts and wellbeing and make changes as may be appropriate to improve those
methods through policy, training, or other measures.
OIG Analysis: The BOP's update is responsive to the recommendation. Accordingly, the OIG
will consider whether to close this recommendation after the BOP (1) finalizes the program
EFTA00035921

=== Page 4 ===
statement update referenced in its update; and (2) provides the finalized program statement to the
OIG for review.
FBOP Response: As indicated in the previous status update, Program Statement 5500.14,
Correctional Services Procedures Manual, is being modified to include methods for accounting
for inmate whereabouts and wellbeing. Because revisions to Programs Statements must follow
the normal development and Union negotiation process, they are subject to change. FBOP will
provide further updates as they become available.
Recommendation Five: BOP policy should clarify what is required of a Lieutenant when
conducting a round.
OIG Analysis: The BOP's update is responsive to the recommendation. The BOP reported that
it is updating its policy to address the recommendation. In its February 2024 update, the BOP
also indicated that it would be conducting training for Lieutenants on conducting rounds. The
OIG therefore previously asked the BOP to provide "a description of the training referenced in
its update, sample training materials for OIG to review, and confirmation that the training is in
effect." The BOP has indicated that, to allow for variation based on the specific needs of each
institution, there will not be a specific BOP-wide curriculum for the training; however, training
will be conducted and documented on the Daily Lieutenant Logs and reviewed by the Captain
for specific local training needs. Accordingly, the OIG will consider whether to close this
recommendation after the BOP (1) finalizes the program statement update referenced in its
update; and (2) provides the finalized program statement to the OIG for review.
FBOP Response: As indicated in the previous status update, Program Statement 5500.14,
Correctional Services Procedures Manual, is being modified to include methods for accounting
for inmate whereabouts and wellbeing. Because revisions to Programs Statements must follow
the normal development and Union negotiation process, they are subject to change. FBOP will
provide further updates as they become available.
Recommendation Six: The BOP should continue to develop and implement plans to
address staffing shortages at its prisons.
OIG Analysis: The BOP's update is responsive to the recommendation. The OIG will continue
to monitor the BOP's progress regarding staffing shortages at its prisons. Accordingly, we will
consider whether to close this recommendation after the BOP (1) provides the OIG an update on
the contractor's or BOP's analysis of staffing incentives since March 2023, whether submitted
yet to GAO or not; (2) implements the staffing tool for all BOP professions; (3) provides an
analysis of whether the new incentives and nation-wide direct-hire authority mentioned in its
update above have made an impact on the staffing shortage; (4) provides an update on its efforts
to establish a nationwide special salary rate for institution positions; and (5) describes any
additional proposals, including any legislative proposals to address pay rates in certain localities,
that are being considered by the BOP to fully address the staffing shortage and provides an
EFTA00035922

=== Page 5 ===
update to the OIG on the Department's consideration and cooperation with the BOP on any such
proposal.
FBOP Response: OIG indicates that it will consider whether to close this recommendation after
FBOP:
1. Provides an update on the contractor's or FBOP's analysis of staffing incentives
since March 2023; whether submitted yet to GAO or not.
The FBOP is currently analyzing the agency's usage and effectiveness of both recruitment and
retention incentives. This analysis is ongoing. Therefore, FBOP will provide an update to OIG
when completed.
2. Implements the staffing tool for all FBOP professions.
The Automated Staffing Tool (AST) went live officially on October 1, 2024, and has been
implemented for all FBOP professions. This workforce planning tool will allow FBOP
leadership to identify true institution position needs to safely and effectively operate all of the
FBOP's 122 institutions. The AST recommends position numbers based on data driven insights
from internal and external subject matter experts, institution-specific criteria, and evolving
mission requirements.
3. Provides an analysis of whether the new incentives and nation-wide direct-hire
authority mentioned in its update above have made an impact on the staffing
shortage.
The FBOP continues to collect data in an effort to complete its analysis in 2025. However,
preliminary analysis has shown retention incentives to be an effective factor when comparing
data from the recent fiscal years. In FY 2024, the lowest number of total separations occurred
with 2,572 separations. In FY 2023, the FBOP had 2,900 separations. FY 2022 had the highest
number of separations in the FBOP in recent years with 3,665.
Recruitment measures have also made an impact in the most recent fiscal years. In FY 2024,
FBOP saw the largest influx of staff since FY 2021, with 3,596 new hires. Comparatively,
FY 2023 saw 2,622 new hires and 1,846 in FY 2022. After receiving nationwide DHA approval
in May 2024, and continuing through September 2024, the FBOP has hired over 450 correctional
officers with Direct Hiring Authority, totaling 642 for FY 2024. This is significantly greater than
our total of 196 new hires for FY 2023 and 83 new hires for FY 2022 without nationwide DHA.
4. Provides an update on its efforts to establish a nationwide special salary rate for
institution positions.
The FBOP is continuing to actively collaborate with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to develop a special salary rate aimed at addressing
recruitment and retention challenges within our institutions by offering more competitive
salaries. Currently, the FBOP is focusing Special Salary Rate efforts on the Correctional Officer
EFTA00035923

=== Page 6 ===
and nurse positions and submitted its request to DOJ at the end of September 2024. DOJ
informed FBOP that both requests are under OPM review.
5. Describes any additional proposals, including any legislative proposals to address
pay rates in certain localities, that are being considered by the BOP to fully address
the staffing shortage and provides an update to the OIG on the Department's
consideration and cooperation with the BOP on any such proposal.
As of November 2024, FBOP has no further input regarding proposals being considered to
address the staffing shortage.
Recommendation Eight: The BOP should enhance existing policies regarding institutional
security camera systems to ensure they specifically state that such systems must have the
capacity to record video and that BOP institutions must conduct regular security camera
system functionality checks.
OIG Analysis: The BOP's update is responsive to the recommendation. Accordingly, the OIG
will consider whether to close this recommendation after the BOP (1) finalizes the policy updates
referenced in its update; and (2) provides the finalized policies to the OIG for review.
FBOP Response: As indicated in the previous status update, Program Statement 5500.14,
Correctional Services Procedures Manual, and Program Statement 4200.12, Facilities Operations
Manual, are being modified to include protocols and ensure accountability regarding various
aspects of FBOP's camera systems, including but not limited to functionality, documentation,
and repair. Because revisions to Programs Statements must follow the normal development and
Union negotiation process, they are subject to change. FBOP will provide further updates as they
become available.
However, to ensure immediate action, a joint memorandum from FBOP's Administration
Division and Correctional Programs Division was sent to all CEOs addressing necessary camera
protocols. See attachments "Camera Report Implementation signed" and "Security Camera
Report Template." The joint memorandum implemented a monthly reporting process in all
facilities and attached a template to use for monthly reporting. The monthly reporting requires
electronic technicians at each facility to list the number of installed cameras, adjustments to the
camera count as needed, information regarding camera recording capability and camera
operational state, and information regarding any repairs made to the cameras during the month of
reporting. The Captain and Facility Manager must review each monthly report from the facility
and ensure accuracy. The monthly Security Camera Report will then be included in the Facilities
Management Monthly Report to Regional offices and submitted from the Warden to the
Regional Director. The new monthly Security Camera Report is now in use and became effective
June 1, 2024.
