1 MS. : Yes.
2 MR. : Does this tell you what
3 happened with Efrain Reyes?
4 MS. : This just says that he
5 transferred to GEO. That's it. That's what
6 this says. He's transferring.
7 MR. : Okay.
8 MS. : That's all it says. But right
9 here, when they do a transfer, I don't know,
10 like, right here, this says court. So, I don't
11 know if he went out to court and then they
12 transferred him ou see what I'm saying?
13 MR. : Uh-huh.
14 MS. : Cause this says court. And
15 plus, as me being a supervisor, I don't do the
16 movement.
17 MR. Okay. So who, who --
18 MS. I'm not the movement officer.
19 MR. : So who would do that?
20 MS.
21 MR. would be the one?
22 MS. Yes. Yeah she does the

this, does this, cause this person also is
listed as transfer within, court.
MS. : Yeah, and court. Yes.
MR. . And everybody else --
MS. Uh-huh.
MR. -- no one else has that
next to their name. They all have, like,
sentencing_ligging, sentencing, status hearing.
MS. IIIII: Yeah, but that still, the type
is court. That's just what they're going to
court for.
MR. : Right. So, this one,
though, being that says transfer within, court
MS. : Transfer, he's transferring,
and he (Indiscernible *00:14:16).
MR. : Does that mean he was
going to court, or that's just an automatic
field?
MS. : I guess that's automatically,
they put that there, cause this is the U.S.
Marshals form. So, I think they automatically
just put that there. I think what it is, is
that when they come and pick up the inmates,
cause the U.S. Marshals will pick up the
EFTA00114728
25 26
1 inmates.
2 MR. . Uh-huh.
3 MS. : And they will transfer them.
4 So, I guess they go sit over there, like
5 they're going to court, and then GEO comes over
6 there and they pick them up from the U.S.
7 Marshals.
8 MR. . Okay.
9 MS. That's how it works.
10 MR. • So, when someone is
11 transferred, so, when these people are
12 transferred from here to GEO --
13 MS. : Uh-huh.
14 MR. : -- what document is
15 created by, I guess it sounds like , but
16 by the BOP (Indiscernible *00:14:53)?
17 MS. : We only do like a, we need,
18 like a transfer receipt from the Marshals,
19 saying that they're going to transfer and we
20 usually just need a 64.
21 MR. IIIIIIIIII: Uh-huh.
22 MS. IIIII: And a medical summary. A 64
23 is a transit form.
24 MR. Okay.
25 MS. : That the BOP, that we just go
27
1 is provided to us, so if Epstein was housed in
2 the SHU, the SHU would be provided that court
3 list, correct?
4 MS. : Yes.
5 MR. • It would say --
6 MS. It would be like a, it's like
7 a roster. not --
8 MR. I said Epstein, I'm
9 sorry, I mean, Efrain Reyes.
10 MS. • Yeah, it's like --
11 MR. If Reyes was housed in
12 the SHU --
13 MS. : It's like a roster. They
14 wouldn't get this or anything like that. It's
15 just like you go on Sentry and you print out a
16 roster and it will have his name on there, and
17 then we'll write down what unit he's on, and
18 then internal will come and pick it up, or they
19 will hand it out, whatever, whoever is going
20 out to court, that's the unit that they give
21 the court list to.
22 MR. . Okay.
23 MS. That's how it works.
24 MR. So, would those people
25 know if he was going to court or being 1

25 on Sentry and do a PP 64 and put the reg
number, and we put T for transfer, and down at
the bottom, we could put as many reg, I think
it's like 20 reg numbers down there, of whoever
inmates are leaving, and then a 64 will be
printed out.
MR. Okay.
MS. And it's just a transit form.
MR. Now is there something
that's like, would these people be placed on
the court list, though?
MS. : Yes. Yes.
MR. : Okay, so they would be
put on the court --
MS. : They would be placed on the
court list es. Yes.
MR. : And what would it say
next to their name?
MS.
MR.
MS.
MR.
MS. : WAG.
. And that's it?
: Yes. That's it.
: Okay.
Uh-huh. That's what she
usually puts, AB, on there.
MR. Now, if that court list

transferred?
MS. : They wouldn't know that.
MR. : They wouldn't know that?
They woulLji t know it was WAB?
MS. IIIII: Cause it's really, like, it's
really none of their business.
MR. : Right. Okay.
MS. : Yeah. They would just know
that he's one. know what I mean?
MR. : Well, because, like, kind
of like when you said, when I said, you knew
who Efrain, or, you know, Epstein was or is,
you said, yeah, he went to court.
MS.
MR.
MS.
MR. : Yeah. Uh-huh.
: Cause, is that --
: Yeah, cause, I'm -
• -- so, like, that's
actually the rumor?
MS. : That's what, that's what it
would be, or we'll call up there, like, are you
going to send Efrain Reyes down, and they will
say, yeah, he's going to court, and then if he
doesn't come back, we might call up there, or
they will know that he's not, cause he's not,
or they'll call us and ask us.

MR. : Okay.
MS. : You know? Or something like
that. So, they should have, I'm thinking they
should have known we would have probably,
somebody probably would have told them that he
wasn't comin back he was getting transferred.
MR. : Okay. So, as far as
this, there's the daily log, 8/9/2019, and on
the third page of this shows Reyes, pre-
removed.
MS. : Yes.
MR. Now, if he was just going
to court --
MS. It would say court.
MR. Yeah. It wouldn't say
pre-removed?
MS. : It wouldn't say pre-removed.
Yes.
MR. So, this is, by looking
at all of this, I'm assuming you can tell,
yeah, he was never going to court.
always goin to be transferred?
MS. He was going, yes.
MR. Okay. And I
may have been what you were saying He was
Yes. Yes.
think this
. Is there 30
1 any way for the SHU staff to know, he's leaving
2 and not cAcEuIg back, rather than --
3 MS. IIIII: See, we don't, like, it
4 depends. Cause we really don't, we really
5 don't tell them, like, if I talk to them, I
6 might say like he's not coming back.
7 MR. : Okay.
8 MS. : Or so, I might tell them, so I
9 don't know, on that day, who called up there
10 and told them to have him ready, you know what
11 I mean? And have him ready, and he's not
12 coming back.
13 MR. : Now, who would normally
14 call and tell them that?
15 MS. : It would be the person that's
16 working in R&D.
17 MR. Okay. So would it be
18 probably for this, as well?
19 MS. : It wouldn't be . Yeah,
20 she just does the movement.
21 MR. Okay.
22 MS. That's it.
23 MR. It wouldn't have been
24 her?
25 MS. : No, it wouldn't have been her.
31
1 MR. : All right.
2 MS. : She just does the movement.
3 So, it would be the person that's on the front
4 desk.
5 MR. So, if the people that
6 escorted Re es down --
7 MS. Uh-huh.
8 MR. -- to R&D and they knew
9 that WAB was actually, in fact, listed next to
10 his name --
11 MS. : Uh-huh.
12 MR. -- should have they known
13 that he is not coming back, if it says WAB?
14 MS. : Not really.
15 MR. : No?
16 MS. : Because they don't work R&D.
17 You see what I mean? They work custody.
18 MR. : Okay.
19 MS. : So, it depends who was up
20 there. It could have been new staff, who
21 knows. Cause a lot of people don't know what
22 WAB does.
23 MR. : Well, they know it means
24 "with all belongings."
25 MS. : Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's 1

true.
MR. So, a person who would
say, yeah, I know it's with all belongings,
and, you know, we know it's very likely, there,
he's not going to come back, but we don't know
for sure. Does that sound at all reasonable?
MS. : They probably would have
asked, like, called to see if he was coming
back. Like, it was after, maybe 4:00 or
something like that --
MR. Then they usually would -
MS. : -- they probably would have
asked if he was coming back, cause, like, when
I first transferred here, I worked in Brooklyn
and then I transferred to Butner. I didn't
know what WAB meant --
MR. : Right.
MS. : -- until I got here, cause we
don't use WAB what I mean?
MR. : Yeah, but if these
people, if these people absolutely said no, we
know what WAB is --
MS. : WAR, yes.
MR. -- but they thought, you
EFTA00114730
33
1 know, if they're claiming, well, we thought he
2 was going to court, and there's always a chance
3 he could come back from court? So, see what
4 I'm sayin ? So, with this guy --
5 MS. : Yeah.
6 MR. : -- so this goes, so where
7 this fits in is, Epstein, did you know that
8 Epstein was required to have a cellmate?
9 MS. ..didn't know that, no.
10 MR. : Okay. So, he was
11 required to have a cellmate, and Reyes was his
12 cellmate.
13 MS. : Okay.
14 MR. : So, part of the reason
15 why they're saying that Epstein died is because
16 his cellmate was removed and never replaced.
17 So, you know, some people say it's because of
18 the 30 minute rounds, or a lot of it is the
19 combination, some people are saying, well,
20 there was no one in his cell, so he took
21 advantage of not having anybody in there.
22 MS. : Okay.
23 MR. : So, in this case, the SHU
24 staff, some people are saying, yep, I knew he
25 was WAB, but there's always a chance that he 1

could, he could have returned. Is that a legit
MS. : No. Not a WAB.
MR. No? So, a WAB, they
should have known he ain't coming back?
MS. : Huh-uh. He's not coming back
Yeah.
MR.
MS.
MR. Okay.
WAR.
Okay. •
MS. : Unless we tell you something
different. But a WAB, he's not coming back.
MR. Okay. So, it's the
primary uestion then.
MS. • Yes.
MR. Great. So, again, to
you, so, (Indiscernible *00:20:19), he was
being transferred, not going to court.
MS. : Not going to court. But I
guess the Marshal just put court, because when
they come, if a WAB is leaving with the
Marshals, they usually just put court, because
they pick the inmates up --
MR. All the same --
MS. -- everybody at the same time,

25 and take them over there, so that's why they
have court.
MR.
MS.
MR.
MS.
MR.
it is the 4th.
MR. : So, the two emails,
technically, what you're saying, this goes
hand-in-hand, one says he's being transferred,
the other one states that he is being picked up
by the Marshals (Indiscernible *00:21:09).
MS. : Yeah. Yeah. They both go
hand-in-hand, because this one is the Marshals,
that they're telling us, but they're telling us
WAR, he's going to GEO. So, we'll know he's
transferring to another state. That's another
state facility that houses federal inmates for 35
for
so you • Okay.
On their form.
• So, this is, anytime we
present someone with documents, you just ask
them to initial and date it.
MS. : Okay.
MR. : It's not to vouch
the, not certifying it's accurate, just
can say, this is what we discussed.
• What I saw. Okay.
So, just anywhere. And 36
1 the Marshals. And then this one is the list
2 that the Marshals put out, also, so they kind
3 of go hand-in-hand.
4 MR. : How the pick-up itself is
5 (Indiscernible *00:21:30).
6 MS. : Yes, how the pick-up, yes.
7 But everything is going to say court on the
8 side, because the Marshals are going to pick
9 up, when they pick up the court, they're
10 picking uiliii,WABs also.
11 MR. : And on that court document,
12 you might have answered this already, the court
13 document that's created internally, it would
14 have said WAB?
15 MS. : Yeah. Like, it's like almost,
16 a receipt, a transfer receipt that we do.
17 MR.
: Okay.
18 MS. • And it will say WAB. It will
19 say, like, it will say his reg number, his
20 name, and it will say his unit and it will say
21 pre-removed, so pre-removed, that means he's
22 not coming_kEE. You know what I mean?
23 MR. 'I'll': And that's (Indiscernible
24 *00:22:04).
25 MS. : Pre-removed. Yeah. He's not
EFTA00114731
37
1 coming back. So that's what would it be. It
2 would sayiiiiemoved.
3 MR. : Do you have a copy of an
4 example of what that court document looks like?
5 No, right? Is it ossible that we --
6 MR. : The court list?
7 MR. : The court list. Do we, if
8 you can provide us with one?
9 MS. : We don't have, huh-uh.
10 MR. : No, not that one, but any
11 type of --
12 MS. : Which one?
13 MR. -- what it looks like?
14 MS. : Any samples?
15 MR. : Yeah.
16 MS. I could --
17 MR. : Has it changed since that
18 time, that document?
19 MS. : Cause we do a, but, yeah, the
20 Marshals, now they got a picture on theirs, the
21 picture of the inmate and stuff like that. And
22 now we sign for it. I don't know if that's
23 because of E stein. I don't know.

receipt. And I can give you a copy of it.
I'll black, can I blacken out the inmate's
photos on there?
MR. : That's fine.
MR. • Photos and the name, if
you want.
MS. Okay.
MR. • We just need to see --
MS. You just want to see --

their names.

of them?

are going to go back. You see what I'm saying?

3 MR. : Okay. So,
4 have sent the court list?
5 MS. : Yeah, she would have sent the,
6 like, not, see, he would, since he is WAB, it
7 would be a receipt that she would send out,
8 saying that she needed a medical summary and a
9 64 for him.
10 MR. : Okay. Make sure you're
11 documenting_Illose, too.
12 MS. IIIII: Yeah, they wouldn't get the,
13 they wouldn't get the court list, like the unit
14 team that, his unit team and the medical
15 department wouldn't get the court list. She
16 would do her own one and send it, saying that
17 they're leaving, those two are leaving and can
18 you please send me a medical summary and a 64?
19 MR. : But the actual court list
20 wouldn't be emailed to anybody?
21 MS. : Yeah. It probably would. I
22 don't know how the Marshal was doing it at that
23 time. I think they were doing it just like
24 that. But we don't email the Marshals court
25 list to anybody like that.

she's the movement person.

close out the loop with Reyes, it does actually
say, we don't know when it was entered, but it
does say at 8:38, he was pre-removed. Now, the

MR. : And then it says, "At
3:15 p.m., on August 9, 2019, Fernandez was
placed on dry cell from ZA," which is the SHU.
Do you know anything about this?

happen often that people are placed in dry cell

that?

MR. : You don't let them do
We don't let them do it, no.
Do you know, do you

involvement on there, this was the Friday

them in and send them in there with the staff,
probably, if they would have told me, I would
said, no. Take them back up to SHU and put
them on a dr, cell.
MR. : Okay.
MS. : Cause we don't put them down
here, cause we're not watching them.
MR. : So, if, so it says that
he's with staff on R&D.
MS. : See, I don't even know what
staff they're talking about. Was he, was
another, was a custody staff watching him?
MR. : Yeah, that I'm not sure
of.
MS. : Or was it R&D? You see what
I'm sayinii
MR. IIIIIIII
: So, what I was going to
ask, though, is so he was never keyed out. If
you see, here is the movements for Fernandez.

MR. : In RO1. But he wasn't
keyed out until 8/10/2019, at 12:35 a.m.
MS. ..don't --
MR. : And then it says it was
corrected, cause he was never keyed out of the
SHU and placed into R&O until the following
morning.
MS. : Huh.
MR. : Do you know who would be
responsible, if they are taking him from the
SHU and putting him in R&D, who would be
responsible for actually making that movement?

1 MR. : Okay. R&O.

5 you're concerned, though, if the SHU lieutenant
6 is out, when that inmate was moved from the SHU
7 to the R&D, placed on dry cell, the Ops
8 lieutenant should have keyed --

10 or the activit lieutenant.
