1. The BOP should implement a process for assigning a cellmate following suicide watch or psychological observation, with criteria for exceptions based on the particular individual or security considerations.

2. The BOP should establish procedures to ensure inmates at high risk for suicide and for whom a cellmate is recommended will continue to have a cellmate until the recommendation is changed or rescinded, including establishing a contingency plan for cellmate re-assignment, with criteria for exceptions based on the particular individual or security considerations.

4. The BOP should evaluate its methods of accounting for inmate whereabouts and wellbeing and make changes as may be appropriate to improve those methods through policy, training, or other measures.

5. BOP policy should clarify what is required of a Lieutenant when conducting a round.

6. The BOP should continue to develop and implement plans to address staffing shortages at its prisons.

8. The BOP should enhance existing policies regarding institutional security camera systems to ensure they specifically state that such systems must have the capacity to record video and that BOP institutions must conduct regular security camera system functionality checks.

The BOP should amend the language contained in Correctional Services Manual, 103, Section 1, so as to clarify whether the requirement to consult with medical staff prior to the use of OC spray on an inmate with a known history of respiratory or cardiovascular disease, chronic dermatitis, or psychosis applies to only calculated uses of force or both calculated and immediate uses of force.b. If, in response to recommendation 1, above, the BOP clarifies that the requirement to consult with medical staff prior to the use of OC spray on an inmate with a known history of respiratory or cardiovascular disease, chronic dermatitis, or psychosis applies in the context of an immediate use of force, then the BOP should also clarify within the Correctional Services Manual, 103, whether BOP staff must both consult with medical staff prior to the use of OC spray on an inmate with a known history of respiratory or cardiovascular disease, chronic dermatitis, or psychosis and avoid the use of OC spray on such an inmate unless other means of control have been attempted or deemed likely to be ineffective. (If, based on the response to recommendation 1, there is no requirement to consult with medical staff prior to using OC spray in the context of an immediate use of force, then this recommendation (recommendation 1.b.) becomes moot and there is no need for the BOP to respond to it.)
