1 of 4¶

$$\textcircled{8} / 19 / 19$$¶

• got to SHU ~ 7122 - went to L-tier first few days, then H-tier

was in first cell on the right in C-ter-alone in cell there ~4-5 days¶

• during 7123 attempt - heard from other inmates on gate that system told his burrow to strangle him and he was going to pay him

• then went to 6 ter-cell first one to the night next to shower there 9-10 days

• then to H-ter cell 107, second on night-LN = Mojica-latrin lungs

• moved from 1-tier blc said they need that cell blc box is so full so moved to 6-tier which is observable unit. 6-tier is single cells. Then they said they could give cl a bumcre + moved downstairs. Lt. (black, old, bald, short, fat) and one co moved him.

• counts - happen at 9:15-9:30, they supposed to do 30-min checks overnight and they never do it. Stay up until 30/2 generally and they don’t do any checks. Don’t see anyone walking after 9:30 check - next time they come around is 6:30-breakfast. Have clock on radio.

• Have to ask them to turn off lights at 9:30 count. If they don’t turn it off out of luck until am.

• can see guards perfectly from C-tier cell on the night

-heard from other inmates at SHU-guards don’t do anything guards dont to count, leave the unit for hours at aswe, don’t do anything to stop k2¶

-coop, first cell on right¶

• neighbor - Jones heard female officer who got fired - needed officer say to make officer “new not doing the rounds tonight” after 9:20 count - they did this walk repeated it to unit - echoes in these

said y’all heard that - he’s on the gate at all times Ive what officer said she said to male officer but /n think meant to be overheard¶

• think there ‘s afternoon count - not aware of any other counts during night - hin seen anyone doing count between 9:30 breakfast - before JE Seattle

would hear key if they come in overnight - d/n remember ever heavy overnight - before JE death¶

after his death theyre doing all the counts; theyre actually long theyre jobs.¶

ounts-1 officer stands at gate, the other walks unit and bangs to make sure they move. Then they switch. Always two officers.¶

Female who got fired was lazy. When you ask for paper/envelope one - she just ignores you. She won’t do it. He doesn’t even like to come to the gate to do count-her attitude - she seems annoyed.¶

I recall seeing male off in blood to rounds - need /n to double, she told. Believe male officer did rounds w/ her usually all males or mof. Never 2 females.¶

( hispanic ) ( lazy but does job ), try to catch people smoking/fishing - duo to 30- min rounds daily. Usually work at night.¶

usually work at night.¶

• had not seen until Epstein died

morning he was found - sounded like female voice yelled “Oh shit / oh fuck” then heard running w/ keys, called for backup - people start yelling “he’s dead, they flicked up” saying its all female officer’s fault. Minutes were all blaming female officer.¶

• kept calling out when agents were there that $ guard fault - MCC compared to other jails-

• told CL that he was beat up in ten pop and guards never on unit - people smoking out in open officers here seem to be too comfortable w/ minater

• seems like officers don’t care + denit do jobs

-few counselors+female officers - having ser w/inmates heard from¶
