Q Okay. So you signed and then began working. A Correct. Q Okay. Thank you. Did you know if the number of people on staff in the SHU was typical, or were you guys understaffed? A We were understaffed. Q How understaffed would you say? A It's supposed to be four people, not three, but it was three. Q Okay. What kinds of problems or issues did that cause, the understaffing? A A lot of mandated overtime. Q So the overtime hours were not voluntary. A No. Q Okay. A Can I clarify that? Q Sure. A The overtime is not voluntary, it's mandated, but we volunteer because, when you volunteer, you get to pick your post versus, when they mandate you, they put you where they want you to go. So, because we know we're going to get mandated, we volunteer on the front end, like I explained in my opening statement, versus getting hit with mandation on the back end to where they need you to go. Q Who was instituting the mandatory overtime hours? A On that day, Lieutenant Cannata. Q And how often would you or other correctional officers in the SHU have to work overtime?
