Notable Quotes 2
At the core of this event was a direct dereliction of duty by the assigned correctional workers within the Special Housing Unit. Their failure to perform the most basic of correctional tasks should be viewed as the primary factor which exposed the institution to this event.
Although these issues were noted, well documented, and communicated, a failure still occurred by allowing Inmate Epstein to be placed in a cell alone.

- Failure to properly document and follow suicide watch procedures.
- Inaccurate information in the Raxichology intake screening.
