What is a suicide watch?

What will be an ideal response?


• Inmates on suicide watch are placed in a specially equipped cell without materials that could be used for a suicide attempt (blankets, sheets, belts, shoestrings, places in the cell to hang something from). Some suicide watch cells then have constant supervision by either a camera or a person so that staff can quickly react if the inmate begins any dangerous activity.
