Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document679_ Filed 06/26/22 Page3of4 in self-harm. The defendant will remain on suicide watch until the MDC assesses that she is no longer at heightened risk of self-harm. That status will be reevaluated daily. At the same time, the Warden will oversee an investigation into the safety concern that the defendant reported to the IG. In the meantime, the Warden and Chief Psychologist have confirmed that the defendant will be able to continue to prepare for sentencing unencumbered. After the defendant complained that she was missing certain legal materials on suicide watch, MDC staff asked where in her property the papers she needed were located. In response, the defendant said the materials were in her property but refused to provide specifics about where within her property the materials were located. To ensure that the defendant has everything she could possibly need, MDC staff gathered all papers within the defendant’s property, including bins of papers, and put them all in her cell on suicide watch. As a result, the defendant now has all of her legal paperwork with her. If she believes she is missing any items, she can inform MDC staff. Additionally, the defendant continues to have access to counsel. The defendant had a legal visit yesterday. The Warden and Chief Psychologist confirmed that the defendant will continue to be permitted to visit in person with counsel while on suicide watch. If counsel does not visit the defendant today, then she will be given a legal call so that she may confer with her counsel by phone. With respect to the defendant’s complaints about her conditions more generally, the Warden and Chief Psychologist confirmed that the defendant was given clothing this morning and is no longer required to wear a smock. They further indicated that the lighting at night on suicide watch is similar to the lighting at night in the general population unit where the defendant was DOJ-OGR-00010731
