A single cell report is completed during each shift by the Institution Duty Officer (IDO). Psychology discusses the status of inmates who are at-risk for suicidality, their housing needs, as well as their needs for cellmates during staff meetings, department head meetings, SHU meetings, morning meetings, and close out meetings. When inmates are placed on and off suicide watch, the Warden is notified verbally, regardless of the time of day. The Warden will then determine which suicide watch area a suicidal inmate will be housed and if they will be observed with an inmate companions or a staff member. Psychology will verbally notify the Lieutenant when inmates are removed from suicide watch and indicate they will need to be placed with a cellmate (Providing direct communication and instructions). Cellmates will be recommended not only for SHU inmates being removed from suicide watch, but also for inmate returning to general population. Once an inmate is removed from suicide watch, psychology staff will send an e-mail to the Executive Staff, 113O, and Lieutenants informing them the inmate is being removed from suicide watch and can return to a cell with a roommate. The e-mail will indicate the name of the staff member whom psychology verbally spoke with. This recommendation for a cellmate and conversation with the Lieutenant will also be documented in the Post Suicide Watch Report and placed in BEMR/PDS. Psychology Services has eliminated the use of Psychological Observation to avoid any confusion as to the needs of inmates on a watch status. 3.
