$$8 / 19 / 19$$¶

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

was in first cell on the right in L-ser - alone in cell there ~4-5 days¶

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

then to H-ter cell 107, second on night-LN= mojica-latrhings¶

moved from L-tier blc Lt. Perez said they need that cell blc box is so full so moved to 0-tier which is observable unit. 6-tier is single cells. Then they said they could give cl a bunge + moved downstairs. Lt. (black, old, bald, short, fat) and one co moved up.¶

• 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 active, don’t do anything to stop K2¶

Rayshawn - coop, first cell on right¶

• neighbor - Jones heard female officer who got fived - heard officer say to male officer “new girl doing the rounds tonight after 9:20 count - they did this walt Jones repeated it to unit - echoes in these

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

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

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 will recall seeing male officers bleed into rounds - he did so to double sheltid . Believe male officer did rounds with her usually all males or mof. Never 2 females.¶

try to catch people smoking/fishing - due to 30-min rounds during day.¶

usually work at night.¶
