While the 9-South officer was conducted rounds inmate Epstein, Jeffrey #76318-054 was found in his cell with a noose around his neck and appeared to be unresponsive. I assisted with taking inmate Epstein #76318-054 from his cell and putting him on a stretcher. The inmate was taken to the second floor and placed on suicide watch, where he was monitored by staff. Moments afterwards, inmate Epstein became responsive. While obs • • e sat un on the bed and began telling me that he think his Runkle, tried to kill him. Inmate Epstein also stated that his Bunkie also tried to extort money from him and stated that if he didn’t pay him that he would beat him up. He stated that this has been going on for a week. I asked inmate Epstein if he told staff about this and he told me no, that he’d only told his lawyer. He went on to say that his Bunkie told him that if he beat him up, because of his charges, the officers would not report it and because of this he was not comfortable telling the officers about the prolong threats and alleged attempts to extort him. I¶
immediately reported this to the lieutenant.¶
