Title: Report on Suicide Prevention Practices within the District of Columbia, Department of Corrections' Central Detention Facility Summary: The following is a summary of the observations, findings, and recommendations of Lindsay M. Hayes, Project Director of the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives, following the provision of short-term technical assistance to the District of Columbia, Department of Corrections' (DOC) Central Detention Facility (CDF). As of August 2013, the CDF has experienced a much higher number (three) of inmate suicides than in previous years. Because of the higher incidence of suicide, the DOC and its health care provider (Unity Health Care) began to examine the deaths, as well as review various policy and procedural directives relating to suicide prevention. In order to independently assess current practices, as well as offer any appropriate recommendations to suicide prevention policies and procedures within the CDF, DOC Director Thomas Faust decided to seek the assistance of an outside consultant. Through the technical and financial assistance of the National Institute of Corrections - Jails Division, this writer's consulting services were offered to, and selected by, Director Faust.
