In this episode we're getting right back to the unnamed captain from MCC and his interview with the OIG investigators. Question, sure. Then as far as conversations with Redacted, answer, Redacted was one of the lieutenants. As far as again, speaking to as lieutenants as a forum, you know, hey, gotta make sure that you guys are doing it, you know, like that. But I know for a fact, the only person that I spoke to that I pulled in my office was the shoe, OIC, was the shoe lieutenant because they're in charge of that unit. So I disseminate the information and the guidance out to him and he's supposed to take

1:02that guidance and push it forward. Question for the unit. So he's in charge of the unit. So you went to the guy in charge of the unit and you said, hey, you're in charge of the unit, make sure he's got to sell made it all times. Answer, yes, question and he then is supposed to take that and anybody that works within the unit should know. Answer, yes, question, okay, what about these lieutenants? So especially the ones that are acting as like absolute tenants and activities lieutenants. Answer, okay, yeah. People like that should they have known during these shifts specifically on the 9th and 10th should they have known that Epstein was required to have a cellmate answer, I believe so. Question, okay, answer, but like again, I would have to go back through my emails, you know, because a lot of the communication that me and the lieutenants had were through email, because you can't catch them all on one shift. Question, sure, answer, you know, like catch them passing and coming.

2:02So I would put out guidance that way. Question, but as far as you, you said that everyone knew that he had an orange card and that he was high visibility inmate and therefore he was required to have a cellmate. So should that have been known through that? Sure, yeah, question, and is there any excuse for any of them to say I didn't know answer, I'm not going to put that on the lieutenant, you know, I'm not going to do that question, okay, answer, I'm not going to be the guy to say whatever, whatever, because I'm going to tell you what sir to be real with you, it was so much going on through that time frame that I don't want to put my statement to something like that that could detrimentally harm one of these lieutenants. I'm not going to say that, hey, I talked to answer, right, gets cut off on this day, I'm not going to do that question, and I'm not saying about speaking, I'm just saying the fact that there was and again, you're saying that you don't recall specific conversations

3:05about the cellmate requirement aside from redacted, but the fact that if there was an orange card, is that something that just is common knowledge? If someone has an orange card, a lieutenant should know, he's got an orange card, he needs a cellmate, answer, right, but then again, also, it was high visibility guys, what do you call that on G question, okay, answer, so with the guidance I put out, I got to give you that email, that email was saying that, hey, these guys with the orange cards, you need to ensure high visibility vigilance, ensure that these guys, you know, are alive and all of this, you know, report any, you know, I went into detail with that question, okay, so maybe not, if it's an orange card, it doesn't necessarily mean then that they require a cellmate, they just require, gets cut off by the captain, higher supervision, question, okay, so you just need to know what they're doing at all times and make sure what they're

4:06doing, answer, yeah, question, all right, so in this instance, it wouldn't be necessarily cellmate, it would be everybody knows to keep an eye on Epstein, make sure that he's all right, so redact it is the only one that you can specifically recall and again, what you said, answer and then again, when I went on evening watch, morning watch those shifts, when I had to talk to the teams together, yeah, I will talk about vigilance, after doing 30 minute rounds, making sure this is done, making sure that is done, question, okay, answer, making sure this guy, you know, that's what I did, because that's what redacted wanted, so I did that, question, all right, and then again, just to make sure that I'm not misunderstanding you, you said you talked to redacted specifically about, but when you did visit the shoe, not only were you telling them to keep my visibility on Epstein, were you also telling them the people that you did interact with, that he needed to have a cellmate, answer, yes, question,

5:09okay, on Friday, August 9th, or sorry, when is the last time, can you recall that you had a conversation with shoe staff, answer, I can't remember, sir, question, no problem, answer, I don't remember, because like I said, the guidance came out between the time of him being upon his release from suicide watch, from the last time, to the time during the time he was doing the vetting for the cellmate, so, you know, it was a short period of time, that this guidance and these conversations took place, and then the reinforcement was, when he would walk through the unit and just do rounds, and then I'm like, hey, this is a high visibility guy, why is this guy got trays in the cell, extra trays in his cell, why is this guy got this, so then of course, you know a lot of people at MCC that didn't like me because I was trying to hold people accountable, but I didn't always write people up, that's how I did, I came up like that, I'm trying to help you, people thought me trying to just talk to them about correctional services

6:11or trying, giving them little, you know, helping them out, talking to them, you know, that I was trying to be, I know it all, be all be that guy, you know, you're not sociable, but now you're down here telling us what to do, you're not one of those, that's the way it felt like, so like again, I can give you the playbook to success, but if you don't read it, it's just words, it's just words, and then I had a lot of issues with the lieutenants, you know, lieutenants, you know, we're self-serving, even though in my previous statement, I would never say anything statement to hurt them, I'm not doing that, but what I'll tell you was that the relationship between me and the lieutenants core was not good, so again, as we move forward through today, you know, the statements that I make is not to try to put blame or try to hurt anybody, the only thing I'm doing is telling you that when the warden gave me the directions, he said he wanted x, y, and z and x, y, and z, not only did I talk to the staff, I also reinforced it by putting out emails, because I know,

7:11I can't catch everybody, and I know that staff is going to blow you off, I mean like, yeah, whatever, I'm glad to be in the unit, let's go ahead and go back to whatever he was doing, it is what it is.

Question sure, and just so you know, just to give you a little bit of peace of mind, we're asking you the questions directly. We're not placing blame on anybody. So if we ask you like, if they're a responsible or something, that's not on you.

8:11Question, oh, okay, well, I just wanted to, because I didn't understand that. Question, yeah, yeah, answer, because like I said, I'm not here, I mean, it gets cut off. Question, I mean, we might say who was responsible, or did they drop the ball, but that's asking you a direct question, not you coming to us saying it wasn't this guy's fault. Answer, right. Question, you know, we're specifically asking you, you know, answer, that's why I didn't understand. And that's not why I'm, I mean, I'm not here for that. Answer, or question, right? Answer, I'm just here, he gets cut off. Question, I mean, we do have to figure out who did drop the ball here. But that's not you, you're not coming to us, we're coming to you. Answer, right. I understand. Question, so on Friday, August 9th, 2019, redacted was on leave. And thus there was no dedicated lieutenant assigned to the shoe.

9:12Answer, that's correct. Question, in this event, the operations lieutenant had oversight that day and took over the responsibilities of the shoe lieutenant. So what time did you, you can look on August 9th, what time that he worked on, redacted. Answer, the periods that this is Friday, right? Question, correct, August 9th. Answer, I got, so basically I have redacted was not here. He was here on that Saturday, which was evening watch on that Saturday. Question, did he not work 4pm to midnight? Answer, he worked 4pm to midnight on that Saturday, the August 10th. Question, okay, you can speak. Do you know something different? Answer, no, no, I was just clarifying. Question, oops, sorry, can I see the August 9th? Question, so who was working, August 9th? Answer, August 9th, it appears. I think you got redacted. Question, all right, so redacted would have been an absolute lieutenant. Answer, right. Question, while redacted, and then redacted, answer, yeah.

10:15Question, and then underneath them, the activities lieutenant would have been redacted and redacted. Answer, right. Question, correct, all right, all right. So they must have got this wrong somehow. So it says, so this is not accurate when it says in this report, in this event, the operations lieutenant redacted had oversight that day and took over responsibility for the shoe, who actually had oversight then since redacted was out. Answer, that would have been the day watch operations lieutenant. Question, and who was that? Answer, the day watch operations lieutenant for August 9th would have been, it appears it was redacted. Question, so redacted would have been responsible. Answer, right. Question, and is it your understanding that redacted new that he needed a cellmate? Answer, I believe so, yes. Question, okay, all right, so that was incorrect, all this stuff about the redacted thing, and then it goes on to say, redacted, informally advised his lieutenants, that Epstein was

11:15not to be housed alone, and emphasized that he needs to be vigilant, about 30 minute checks, and unannounced rounds. And you said that there were emails about that, and well as when you spoke with your lieutenants, and when you went to the shoe, specifically, answer, uh-huh, question, correct, all right, and that you don't remember the last time that you did that, but between August, between July 30th and August 9th, you at least did it a few times. Answer, right. Question, okay, and you think you hit at least all three shifts between that time? Answer, correct. Question, okay, answer, I believe I did, yeah, all right folks, we're going to wrap up right here, and in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're going to pick up where we left off, all the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. We're going to pick up the topic here from 2311 Racing, another checkered flag for the books. Time to celebrate with Chamba.
