I just got this from our acting branch chief. This hasn't been reviewed or cleared by IPPA or Dir. I've requested a deeper dive in to standards but couldn't get it tonight. We will press further tomorrow.

Feel free to call.

Hi

Please see the following paragraph as a justification for why every individual with some level of suicide risk is n of maintained on long-term suicide watch:

Suicide watch is widely regarded as a short

term crisis intervention. As practiced in the BOP, it is a highly restrictive intervention that focuses on preserving the life of an individual in crisis. Typical conditions of a suicide watch include containment in an identified suici de watch cell absent tieoff points and sharp objects, placement in a suicide watch smock that is resistant to use as a ligature, constant obs ervation by another individual, lights on 24 hours per day to ensure effective observation, extreme limits on pers onal property for safety, and at least daily contact with a BOP psychologist. While these restrictive conditions ar e extremely effective in the shortterm prevention of suicide, they are inconsistent with a quality of life that supports future oriented goals and the achievement of those goals. For this reason, suicide watch is used to prevent a suicidal crisis, but is ended when an individual is no longer assessed to be an immediate threat to himself and is able to resume goal directed behav iors that support a quality of life, such as interactions with peers, visits with family or attorneys, work, etc. The a ssessment used to determine that suicide watch is no longer warranted is conducted by a doctoral level psycholog ist. Following the conclusion of a suicide watch, psychologists follow up with ongoing assessment and intervent ions such as additional suicide risk assessments, counseling sessions, and/or supportive visits.
