Key Information:

Subject: Update on an inmate's status.
Sender: Regional Director, Northeast Region.
Recipient: Associate Warden, MCC New York.
Date: July 24, 2019.
Inmate Status: The inmate is on Psychological Observation.
Reason for Observation: Deterioration due to mental illness, personality disorder, medical problem, or drug intoxication/withdrawal. The inmate is not imminently suicidal but is mentally unstable and unpredictable.
Location: MCC New York, Office: Black Berry.
Next Steps: The inmate will remain on Psychological Observation until tomorrow, when they will be reassessed.
Provider of Definition: Dr. [Name redacted], Chief Psychologist.

DEFINITION:A Psychological Observation occurs when an inmate who suffers from a mental illness, a serious personality disorder, a medical problem (impairing their mental status), or drug intoxication and/or withdrawal symptoms begins to deteriorate. The inmate is no longer mentally stable and therefore, it is inappropriate for s/he to remain in general population or the Special Housing Unit (SHU). Inmates placed on psychological observation differ from inmates placed on suicide watch as they are not imminently suicidal (e.g., have not expressed self-harm or engaged in self-harming behavior), but rather, due to his/her impairment in mental status or functioning (e.g., not eating, not sleeping, disorganized/unusual thinking, poor self-care), his/her behavior can be unpredictable. Psychological Observation status is intended as a temporary designation to be utilized until such time as the inmate becomes sufficiently stable (e.g., able to function independently in general population) to be returned to his/her housing assignment or transferred to an inpatient psychiatric facility such as a Federal Medical Center.

He has a pending incident report for Self-Mutilation and therefore, he will return to the Special Housing Unit (SHU)and will be celled with inmate I . Inmate pleaded guilty. in March to mailing improvised explosive devices to 13 people, including many prominent Democratic figures, among them former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.) and Kamala D. Harris (Calif.), as well as CNN. He drove around in a van festooned with political stickers and rants, one of them targeting CNN. His case has been highly publicized and he is in SHU because he requested Protective Custody.

Hello,

Inmate Epstein was removed from Suicide Watch and stepped down to Psychological Observation. He was just escorted to Health Services for a follow-up assessment/evaluation. Once completed, he will be escorted to Attorney Conference to meet with his Attorney. I will provide you with information concerning the medical assessment, once I receive it. Thanks.
