Relationship Details

This document is an email chain from August 11-12, 2019, discussing Bureau of Prisons (BOP) policies regarding suicide watch. The text provides a detailed justification for why suicide watch is treated as a short-term intervention rather than a long-term solution, citing the restrictive nature of the conditions (24-hour lights, no personal property, constant observation) as inconsistent with quality of life and rehabilitation goals. This correspondence appears to be an internal discussion preparing a response or explanation regarding the handling of an inmate (likely Jeffrey Epstein) being taken off suicide watch prior to his death.
