Focus of Session¶
Inmate Epstein was seen while on psychological observation today in the hospital area.¶
Subjective/Objective Presentation¶
Same presentation today, but he said he thinks his memory for the incident (injury to his neck) may be impaired because of his sleep apnea. He is supposed to get his CPAP machine today. He is aware he will be returning to SHU, but said he is feeling unwell due to his inability to sleep and numbness in his arm. He requested to have one good night of sleep with his CPAP and will return to SHU with a cellmate tomorrow. He then asked if he could remain down here where it is “safe” for the entire week. I told him he can stay down one more night to receive his CPAP and a good night’s sleep, but that he would be returned to SHU tomorrow. It was explained that there is no mental health issues precluding him from returning to SHU tomorrow and that we could not house him in the SW/Hospital area because he felt safe or more comfortable for him. It was explained to him that he would be placed in a safe situation in the SHU.¶
According to his log book and eating/shower chart, he has been eating and drinking when not in his legal visits. He has also been writing and attending his legal visits.¶
Intervention(s)¶
Inmate EPSTEIN was provided with brief supportive interventions and psychoeducation regarding additional coping strategies. Inmate EPSTEIN was somewhat receptive to these interventions, but appears more concerned about getting his various needs in the prison (phone calls, recreation, housing placement concerns, etc.)¶
Progress/Plan¶
He will remain on psychological observation today and will transition to the SHU tomorrow. He will be seen by psychology daily to assess his mental status and psychological functioning.¶
