Subject: Inmate Epstein, J. 76318054 - Notify Psychology ASAP when he returns from court
TEXT.htm
I just got off the phone with Central Office and they are recommending we conduct a suicide risk
assessment with this inmate when he returns from court. Should he retum from court and psychology is
gone for the day, he is to go on PSYCHOLOGICAL OBSERVATION unless, of course, he reports he is
suicidal. In that case, he is to go on Suicide Watch. Inmate Epstein will likely be receiving bad news in
court today and has multiple risk factors for suicidality as identified by BOP statistics. Let's be
proactive.
"This writer consulted with Dr. , Central Office, regarding inmate Epstein. Inmate Epstein
has various risk factors for suicidality including a high profile case with media attention, sex offense
charges, pre-trial status, and a court proceeding today which could potentially be giving him bad news
regarding his legal situation. As such, when inmate Epstein retums from court, R&D staff as well as
Lieutenant's have been informed to immediately notify the psychology department. If he returns after
duty hours, the aforementioned staff were instructed to notify the on-call psychologist and to place
inmate Epstein on a watch status until psychology can conduct a thorough suicide risk assessment."
Thank you, Dr.
