Focus of Session¶
Inmate Epstein was seen today for a psychological observation contact in the hospital area by this writer.¶
Subjective/Objective Presentation¶
Inmate Epstein appeared well and it was noted in his log book and eating/sleeping chart that he has been eating his meals, sleeping, interacting with the inmate companions, and pacing in his cell. Today, he presented this writer with numerous concerns and requests. He stated he does not want to be housed in the SHU because he is not comfortable there; he wants to be single-celled if he goes to the SHU; he wants Colace, not the Ducolex he received from medical yesterday; he wants to be able to walk around and go to recreation; he does not want to wear an orange uniform to his legal visits because he is treated “like a punished inmate;” he wants a phone call before he leaves the psychological observation area; he wants a shower and towel; he would like to be housed in the cadre (5S) unit; and would like his property, paper, and a pen.¶
Inmate Epstein’s concerns were addressed by this writer and it was explained to him he will not be single-celled or placed in a housing unit for safety and security concerns. His medical concerns (constipation) were discussed with health services as well as his desire to be placed on Colace. Inmate Epstein was provided a shower this morning.¶
Intervention(s)¶
