It defines 'Psychological Observation' as a status for inmates who are mentally unstable but not imminently suicidal, distinguishing it from suicide watch. The memo outlines strict protocols for monitoring these inmates, including specific rules for the '9S' unit (where Jeffrey Epstein was housed), stating that a staff member cannot watch more than two inmates at a time.
