Comments:
The McHenry County Detention Center staff became aware of the possibility of an escape attempt from their facility on January 15,
2008, at 3:15 p.m. This information was obtained from a reliable informant through his Public Defender. The appropriate officials
were briefed on the situation and the detainee was interviewed. The potential escapee was removed from his cell, visually searched,
and placed on Administrative Segregation status. The detainee's cell was thoroughly searched and photographed. All contraband was
removed. During interrogation of the detainee, it was revealed he had used a piece of metal to remove a large portion of grout from
the wall of Cell 2-228. It was discovered that the piece of metal used by the detainee was an altered mop bucket handle. This metal
was located under the lip of the desk in Cell 2-228. Other items found in the cell were tubes of toothpaste, salt packets, a plastic
spoon, and a large piece of mortar. The facility was placed on lock-down status and CERT (special response team) was activated. A
thorough search of the entire institution was conducted, including all of the detainees and inmates. As a result of this incident, all
handles were removed from the mop buckets in the institution.
There were two suicide attempts in the facility during the past year. These were not considered serious attempts, but were handled as
such. The first attempt was during the first quarter and involved an inmate (not ICE) who attempted to hang himself from the top tier
of the cellblock. He was transported to the local hospital and returned to the institution the same day with no serious medical
consequences.

The second involved an ICE detainee who was in Booking on ten-minute checks and clothed in a paper gown. He attempted to
strangle himself with the paper gown. He was placed in the restraint chair and examined by medical. Medical prescribed medication
and the detainee was released from the chair in approximately 1.5 hours.
