    BOP should reassess its policies to ensure that SHU round documentation is preserved for the possible use of such documentation as original evidence in criminal and administrative investigations and proceedings. As part of this reassessment, the BOP should, among other things, consider (1) adjusting its records retention schedule for SHU round forms; and (2) amending its policies to ensure that staff responding to crime scenes associated with inmate misconduct also collect evidence of potentially related staff misconduct, such as SHU round documentation, and account for the possible use of such evidence as original evidence in criminal and administrative investigations and proceedings.

    BOP should modify its policies regarding SHU round forms, including BOP Program Statement 5500.14, Section 310, to refer employees to the document retention schedule for SHU round forms, or otherwise ensure that its employees across all institutions are aware of the retention schedule.

    BOP should ensure that all Special Investigative Services Staff, Executive Management Staff, staff involved with evidence collection and preservation, and other relevant staff are trained/advised on how to preserve SHU logs and to recognize when they may be needed as original evidence in criminal or administrative investigations and proceedings, e.g., when there is an escape or death in custody and the original log may reflect who purportedly conducted round counts during the pertinent time period.
