suicide so that diverted some guards from EPSTEIN. After the all the guards dealt with inmate, EPSTEIN needed to be placed back in his cell. recalls no other guard getting up to move EPSTEIN so he made the move at approximately 9:30 pm. recalls guard NOEL filling out the 30 minute round paperwork while he did some administrative computer stuff. informed that before he left he conducted a round and spoke to EPSTEIN and asked “are you good” to which EPSTEIN gave a thumbs up response. said that before he left he went back to guards NOEL and and make sure you watch him (referring to EPSTEIN) he’s your priority. stated that EPSTEIN seemed normal and was just sitting there.¶
explained the 30 minute rounds and when asked about the paperwork stated that the exact times are probably off because they are estimates. When told that there is video of the SHU area stated that he would be surprised to see video of the rounds not being conducted. When asked about the round sheets and the sign-off procedures could not clearly remember who did what rounds exactly or what if any rounds he did, only that he would not have signed off on the rounds had they not been conducted. When asked about the count number in the SHU for that date and the number matching the MCC master number stated “this would be a mistake on my part”, he probably just used the numbers off the master sheet, and that there was probably signing off done in response to pressure and having the count cleared.¶
was asked several questions about EPSTEIN and specifically if guard advised about EPSTEIN needing a cellmate to which responded “No”.¶
When questioned further about the last visit conducted before leaving for the shift, gave inconsistent answers. The interview was concluded at 1311 hours.¶
Further details of the interview and statements made by are recorded on the interview notes which are attached to this report.¶
