A Every day. Q How many shifts would you work a week? A Five days of double shifts, but on your last day, you can't be mandated, so it'd be 4. Q Was every shift that you worked -- did that include an overtime shift? A Yes. Q So 8 hours, plus -- A Another 8. Q So 16-hour total shifts. A Correct. Q What were your shifts like while you were working in the SHU? A My shift was 4:00 to midnight, and I had 1 day where it was a 2:00 to 10:00. Q How would you describe working a shift in the SHU? A When you come in for your shift at 4 o'clock, counts are being done, and immediately after that, you're getting ready to feed inmates. And after that, I kind of always wait on the directive from the senior officer that I'm working with, because I don't really know how to work the SHU. So whatever they ask me or tell me to do. I kind of lean on the senior person. Q Was Officer Michael Thomas -- was he a senior officer? A Yes. Q Okay. On a typical shift, you said you would feed the inmates. Were there any other responsibilities that you had on every shift? A Giving out toiletries -- for example, toilet paper; rounds. Q Were those responsibilities expected of you on every shift, or did they differ? A In the SHU, yes.
