This document is an internal Bureau of Prisons email thread from July 8, 2019, discussing protocols for Jeffrey Epstein upon his return from a court appearance. Staff anticipated he would receive 'bad news' regarding his legal situation and identified him as having high risk factors for suicide due to his high-profile status and charges. The emails coordinate a mandatory suicide risk assessment and instruct staff to place him on Psychological Observation or Suicide Watch if Psychology staff were unavailable.
