Below is the definition of Psychological Observation provided by Dr. =, Chief Psychologist. He
will remain on Psychological Observation until tomorrow, where he will be reassessed.
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.

Inmate Epstein #76318-054 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.
