Q Out of how many? A Ten. Q Do you think there was any reason why it was as high up as it was? A I don't know. Q Okay. Could you explain to us the layout of the SHU block, or the SHU unit, at the MCC? A So, when you enter the SHU and you walk towards the center, the common area, there's a desk with computers. Before the desk, there are two tiers, up and down. Then, to the, if you're facing the desk, left, in the middle there's two more tiers, up and down. And then off to the far left, there's the last two tiers, up and down. So it's really like a circle. It's, like, the desk and then the two tiers, two tiers, two tiers. And then, going up the last set of tiers, you could go up to the 10 South wing. Q So does that make it two or three tiers total? A Well, 10 South is technically not connected. So, in SHU, it is still 6. But you can access the door there to go to 10 South, which is another unit. Q Okay. That's not included in the SHU? A Correct. Q How many inmates are typically housed in the SHU? A SHU, it varies, because SHU doesn't have to be full, because people are placed in the SHU for different reasons. So it could be any number. Q Why would inmates go to the SHU? A Some inmates go to the SHU for disciplinary segregation. Some inmates go because they have to be separated. Some, because they're high-profile. Q Would they ever go for mental-health reasons?
