This document is an email chain from August 11-12, 2019, between likely DOJ/OAG and BOP officials discussing the justification for removing an inmate (implied to be Jeffrey Epstein) from suicide watch. The correspondence provides statistics showing the median length of suicide watch is 1.5 days and explains BOP protocols describing suicide watch as a restrictive, short-term intervention inconsistent with long-term quality of life. The emails are a response to media speculation following the inmate's death.
