Date: 14 March 2025, 23:00-07:00
Third week on 9-South nights. Quiet block, which is wrong — I know who’s housed here, everyone does, and quiet is not the word for what those cells produce. But the monitors show nothing. Men sleeping or pretending to sleep. The fluorescents on their overnight dim, that yellowed half-light that makes everything look like an old photograph of itself.
Filed the work order on 9S-3 at the start of shift. The camera’s been cycling — three to seven seconds of picture, then black, then picture again. Vollmer came in the morning and said it was a loose fitting. I signed the work order.
The fitting was tight when I checked it last Tuesday.

CO R. HALLORAN — PERSONAL NOTES
22 March 2025
The cameras went at 02:22. Both of them. Not one then the other — both at the same instant, like the corridor blinked. I was looking right at the monitors when it happened. One frame of hallway, the next frame of nothing. I called it in to Control and they logged it and I sat there for three hours and thirty minutes watching two black screens.
I did the corridor walks. Every thirty minutes, per protocol. The corridor was the same as it always is at night. Dim lights, cell doors, the smell of industrial soap and something else underneath it — concrete and wiring and whatever’s in the walls, that warm-dust scent old electrical systems give off. Everything was fine. The cells were quiet. I looked through every observation port and saw men sleeping.
When the cameras came back at 05:51 I was at the desk. I did not see them come back. I looked up and the monitors had picture and I could not say how long they’d had picture.
I wrote the work order. Under “Nature of Problem” I wrote what happened. Under “Priority” I circled “Urgent.” There is no field on the work order for the fact that a building can close its eyes.
WORK ORDER 9S-00423
Date Filed: 2 April 2025
Requested By: CO R. Halloran, Badge 7714
Location: Corridor 9-South, Camera Units 9S-2, 9S-3, 9S-4
Nature of Problem: Three cameras — signal loss at 01:55. Complete blackout. Signal restored 05:30 approx. Fourth occurrence since March on this corridor.
Priority: Urgent — High-Security Housing
Action Taken: Full diagnostic by maintenance team (D. Vollmer, J. Peck). All camera units inspected, all junction boxes tested, conduit run traced from 9S corridor to main distribution frame in Sublevel 2. Coaxial cable tested: no signal degradation. Power supply tested: within specifications. Junction box 9S-J2 contacts cleaned and re-torqued. All camera housings re-seated.
Additional Notes: Maintenance supervisor G. Hess present for inspection. Recommends replacement of conduit run 9-South-main as precautionary measure. Estimated cost: $14,200. Submitted to Facility Operations for approval.
Conduit Replacement Approved: Pending
Resolved: Yes

Three cameras this time. The darkness is spreading down the corridor. Or the corridor is spreading into the cameras. I don’t know which way that sentence works and I don’t think the direction matters.
The conduit replacement is pending. Budget. Everything here is pending budget. The ceiling tiles in the break room have water stains from a leak that was repaired in 2019. The repair holds. The stains remain. The building remembers what happened even after the paperwork says it’s been resolved.
I requested a meeting with the watch commander about the camera situation. The watch commander said he’d review the work orders.

All five. The whole corridor. Every monitor black from 01:48 to 05:15.
I did my walks. Every thirty minutes, down the corridor with a flashlight because the corridor has its own lighting and the corridor lighting was fine, the corridor lighting has never failed, it’s only ever the cameras, just the cameras, as if the building doesn’t mind being lit — it minds being seen. I walked past every cell. I stopped at every observation port. I saw what I always see: men sleeping, or shapes that sleep makes in low light, the particular stillness of human bodies in the small hours that could be sleep or could be the other kind of stillness and at 03:00 through an observation port you cannot always tell.
Vollmer and Peck were here for almost three hours. They tested everything. They found nothing. The wiring is within specifications. The breakers are within specifications. The cameras are within specifications. The building, by every measure the maintenance department possesses, is functioning correctly.
And the cameras go dark on 9-South between 01:00 and 05:00, and they come back on their own, and the work order says Resolved: Yes.

Farris started on 9-South nights this week. Second CO, which I’d been requesting since April. He’s been at the facility nine years, longer than me, but always on the east blocks. First time on 9-South.
I told him about the cameras. Not from the notebook — from the work orders. I told him in work-order language, the only language I seem to have for it anymore. Corridor, cameras, signal loss, maintenance, no fault found, resolved. He nodded the way you nod when someone tells you the elevator on the north side sometimes sticks between floors. Building stuff. The information entered him and settled into the category of things-that-are-wrong-but-not-wrong-enough-to-fix and I recognized the settling because it happened to me, too, somewhere between the third work order and the fifth, when the malfunction becomes a feature of the place, like the stain on the break room ceiling or the door on Sublevel 2 that you have to pull up while you push forward or it won’t open.
He asked if anyone had looked into it beyond maintenance. I said the watch commander had reviewed the work orders. He said okay.

I’ve stopped calling it in to Control. I still file the work order — there’s a procedure, you follow the procedure, the procedure exists so that when something happens or doesn’t happen or is later determined to have happened or not happened, there is paper. I file the work order. Vollmer comes. Vollmer finds nothing. The work order says Resolved. This is how the building works.
Asked Vollmer last week if he’d ever seen anything like this. Cameras that fail on a schedule, same corridor, same hours, nothing wrong with the equipment.
He shrugged. Said old buildings do weird things. Said the wiring in this facility dates to the original construction, 1975, and the camera system was retrofitted in 2002 and updated in 2016, and every update connects to the original conduit, and the original conduit runs through the original walls, and the walls are the walls.
“The walls are the walls,” he said. Like that explained it. And somehow it did.

CO R. HALLORAN — PERSONAL NOTES
1 June 2025
I have been reading my own work orders in sequence, 00411 through 00470, and I can see something happening in the language. The first one is four sentences under “Nature of Problem.” The most recent is three words. Down 01:30.
I can’t tell the difference anymore between efficient documentation and the slow removal of language from an experience that language was never adequate to describe. The form gives me a box. The box is small. Fewer words each time because what would more words do? The cameras go down. They come back. Vollmer finds nothing. Resolved: Yes.
But there’s something else. The corridor walks. I still do them every thirty minutes. I walk the corridor with my flashlight. But I’ve noticed — and I’m writing this here, in a notebook that has no fields and no signature line and no box that says Resolved — I’ve noticed that I walk faster now. The first few weeks I stopped at every port. I looked. I counted breaths, the way you’re trained, to confirm the inmate is breathing. Now I walk and I glance and I keep walking. I’m not sure when the glance replaced the stop.

Metropolitan Correctional Center — Watch Commander’s Office
To: CO R. Halloran
From: Watch Commander J. Briggs
Date: 20 June 2025
Re: Camera Malfunctions, 9-South Corridor
Halloran,
I’ve reviewed the series of work orders on the 9-South camera situation. Maintenance has been unable to identify a cause. Conduit replacement is on the Q4 list.
I spoke with Deputy Warden Leach and we’re in agreement that the current procedure — work orders filed, maintenance inspections, corridor walks at standard intervals — represents an adequate response given budgetary constraints. Control room coverage is maintained. Your corridor walks are documented. The record is complete.
Effective immediately, camera malfunctions on 9-South that follow the established pattern (overnight signal loss, spontaneous restoration) may be documented via abbreviated work order rather than full-form filing. This will reduce your administrative burden while maintaining the documentation chain.

Abbreviated work order. They’ve given me permission to write less.
Farris has adapted faster than I did. Took me weeks to stop flinching when the monitors went dark. Farris just looks at the black screens and looks away. Last night he was reading a paperback when the cameras dropped — some thriller with a cracked spine — and he didn’t put it down. Didn’t look up. The monitors went black and his eyes stayed on the page and the building went blind and Farris was reading a book.
I sleep fine. I go home at 07:00 and I sleep and I don’t dream about the corridor or the monitors or the dark. I sleep the way you sleep when you’ve done your job.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE — OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL
Investigative Summary — Preliminary
Case Reference: OIG-2025-MCC-0091
Subject: In-Custody Death, Metropolitan Correctional Center, 9-South Housing Unit
Date of Incident: 19 July 2025
Date of Report: 14 August 2025
Classification: Active Investigation
Summary of Incident
On the morning of 19 July 2025, at approximately 06:15, incoming day-shift correctional officers discovered an unresponsive inmate in Cell 9S-412, Corridor 9-South, Metropolitan Correctional Center. The inmate was pronounced dead at 06:38 by facility medical staff. Cause of death as determined by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is pending final autopsy report. Preliminary findings note ligature marks consistent with asphyxiation. The manner of death has not been determined.
Surveillance System Status at Time of Incident
All five camera units serving Corridor 9-South (9S-1 through 9S-5) were non-operational at the time of the incident. Surveillance footage for the period of 01:22 on 19 July 2025 through 06:08 on 19 July 2025 does not exist.
Review of facility maintenance records indicates that camera malfunctions on Corridor 9-South had been reported on fifteen (15) occasions between 14 March 2025 and 18 July 2025. Work orders were filed for each occurrence. Maintenance inspections were conducted. No persistent fault was identified. A conduit replacement was recommended by the maintenance supervisor on 2 April 2025 and approved for Q4 fiscal year implementation. As of the date of the incident, the conduit replacement had not been performed.
Control Room Staffing at Time of Incident
Two correctional officers were assigned to the 9-South control room for the overnight shift of 18-19 July 2025: CO R. Halloran (Badge 7714) and CO A. Farris (Badge 8302).
During post-incident interviews, the day-shift relief officer (CO P. DiMatteo, Badge 6219) reported that upon entering the control room at 06:05, both CO Halloran and CO Farris were found at their duty stations. Both officers were asleep. CO Halloran was seated in his chair with his head resting on his arms on the desk surface. CO Farris was reclined in his chair with his feet on the console.
The five surveillance monitors at the 9-South station displayed no image. It could not be determined at what time the officers fell asleep or at what time the cameras ceased operating.
CO Halloran’s corridor walk log shows completed rounds at 00:30, 01:00, and 01:30. No rounds are logged after 01:30.
Documentation Review
The following documents have been collected and are under review by this office:
-
Fifteen (15) work orders related to 9-South camera malfunctions, filed between 14 March 2025 and 18 July 2025 (Work Orders 9S-00411 through 9S-00508)
-
Maintenance inspection reports and technician notes

CO Halloran’s corridor walk logs for the night of 18-19 July 2025
-
Post-incident interviews with CO Halloran, CO Farris, maintenance technician D. Vollmer, Watch Commander J. Briggs, Deputy Warden T. Leach
-
A personal notebook, unmarked, found in CO Halloran’s locker during routine post-incident inspection. The notebook contains dated entries spanning March through July 2025. The contents are personal in nature and do not constitute official facility documentation. Their evidentiary relevance is under review.
Excerpt: Post-Incident Interview, CO R. Halloran
Conducted: 21 July 2025
Interviewer: Special Agent K. Wray, OIG
Location: MCC Administrative Building, Interview Room 2
WRAY: Officer Halloran, I’d like to walk through the night of July 18th into the morning of the 19th. You were on shift starting at 23:00?
HALLORAN: Yes.
WRAY: And you completed corridor rounds at 00:30, 01:00, and 01:30.
HALLORAN: That’s what the log says.
WRAY: Is the log accurate?
HALLORAN: I signed it.
WRAY: The cameras went down at some point after your 01:30 round. Do you recall when?
HALLORAN: They would have gone down around 01:00 or 01:30. That’s the pattern.
WRAY: You say “the pattern.” You’re referring to the previous camera malfunctions.
HALLORAN: Fifteen times. Same corridor. Same hours. Maintenance checked it every time. Nothing wrong.
WRAY: And on this night — the night of the 18th — when the cameras went down again, what was your response?
HALLORAN: I would have noted it. Filed the work order.
WRAY: There is no work order for the night of the 18th.
HALLORAN: No.
WRAY: And your corridor walks stop at 01:30. You didn’t complete the 02:00 round or any subsequent round.
HALLORAN: No.
WRAY: Can you explain why?
[Pause — 11 seconds]
HALLORAN: I fell asleep.
WRAY: At approximately what time?
HALLORAN: I don’t know. After 01:30. After the cameras. I don’t know if I fell asleep before the cameras went down or after. I don’t know which came first. I’ve tried to remember and I can’t separate it. The cameras going dark and falling asleep — in my memory they’re the same event.
WRAY: Officer Farris was also asleep when the day shift arrived.
HALLORAN: Yes.
WRAY: Had you and Officer Farris discussed the camera situation? The pattern of malfunctions?
HALLORAN: Everyone on 9-South nights knew about it. It was just the corridor. That’s what 9-South did. The cameras went down and they came back and maintenance couldn’t fix it and you filed the paper and the paper said resolved.
WRAY: Did you have any reason to believe that the cameras were being deliberately disabled?
HALLORAN: No.
WRAY: Did you have any contact with anyone who expressed interest in the camera malfunctions? Anyone who asked about the schedule of the outages?
HALLORAN: No. Nobody asked. It was a maintenance issue. It was in the work orders.
WRAY: Agent Wray noting for the record that the work orders document fifteen episodes of complete or near-complete surveillance failure on a high-security housing corridor over a period of four months, and that no remedial action beyond routine maintenance was taken during that period. Officer Halloran, I have one more question. On the night of the 18th, the night of the death — did you believe the cameras would come back on their own, as they had on previous occasions?
HALLORAN: Yes.
WRAY: And that belief — that the cameras would restore themselves, that the failure was routine, that the situation was, in your word, “usual” — is that why you did not escalate the outage that night?
HALLORAN: I didn’t escalate it because there was nothing to escalate. The cameras were down. The cameras are always down. I filed — I had filed fifteen work orders. Every one said resolved. The system said it was resolved. I don’t know what I was supposed to do that I didn’t do. I followed the procedure. Every step. I followed it until there were no more steps to follow and then I —
WRAY: You what?
[Pause — 8 seconds]
HALLORAN: I went to sleep.
Investigator’s Note
The documentation reviewed in this case is extensive and consistent. Work orders were filed in accordance with facility protocol. Maintenance inspections were conducted. Supervisory review was performed. Budget requests were submitted through proper channels. Corridor walks were completed, with the exception of the night of the incident.
The same records show that a high-security corridor’s surveillance system failed fifteen times in four months, that no root cause was identified, that no remedial action beyond routine inspection was taken, and that on the sixteenth failure, two officers were asleep and an inmate died.
The investigation is ongoing.
ITEM 7 — PERSONAL NOTEBOOK, CO R. HALLORAN
Final Entry (undated, estimated late July 2025)
I sat in that room for four months and watched the building go blind on a schedule. I wrote it down. I filed the forms. The forms went into a file and the file proved the system was working and the cameras went dark and I wrote it down and filed the form.
I don’t know if someone killed that man. I don’t know if that man killed himself. I don’t know what happened in Cell 9S-412 between 01:30 and 06:15 on 19 July 2025. The cameras have no record because the cameras were down and I was asleep and the corridor was dark and the work order was filed and the work order says Resolved.
I keep the notebook because the work orders aren’t enough. The work orders say what happened. The notebook was supposed to say something else. But I notice I’m writing less in the notebook, too. The entries are getting shorter. The first one was a page.
I filed the work orders. I walked the corridor. I signed the logs.
