the time of his screening, he stated that he was nervous. He stated that he was “OK right now”, but wanted his medicine.
Staff from the Florence SPC notified Pinal County Jail of Canales’ previous mental health history and placement on suicide
precautions. He was scheduled for a psychiatric evaluation on June 26 and medical evaluation on June 24.
He was placed on suicide watch on June 24, 2008, as he told staff that he was feeling bad and wanted to hurt himself,
although he had no current plan. On June 26, 2008, he was evaluated by the contract psychiatrist who discontinued the
watch and placed him on 30 minute checks. The doctor also prescribed Prozac.

On June 30, 2008, he was once again evaluated by the psychiatrist who discontinued the observation and permitted the
detainee to be returned to general population. Canales did well until July 2, 2008, when he placed an urgent medical
request, claiming that if he was deported, he would be killed. He was visibly upset and was once again placed on suicide
watch. His deportation was placed on hold due to his current mental health status.
The psychiatrist evaluated him on July 3, 2008. At that time, he denied any suicidal ideation as long as he remained in
segregation. Suicide watch was once again discontinued, and he was placed on 30 minute checks. Four days later, he told
the psychiatrist that he felt safe in the segregation unit and did not want to return to General Population.
On July 8, 2008, at 1358 hours, Canales was found hanging in his cell. He was cut down and the medical department
responded. CPR was started until EMS arrived at 1408. He was pronounced dead at 1415 hours via paramedics and
