It's based in large part on the timeline you sent. Is there any reason why this information shouldn't be released to the public? On July 23d, Epstein was placed on suicide watch and received medical evaluation. Epstein received daily psychological evaluations while on suicide watch. On July 29th after daily interaction with Epstein, and according to established procedures, MCC- New York Psychology Services Department determined he no longer warranted placement on suicide watch. Epstein was returned to the Special Housing Unit (SHU) with a requirement that he have a cellmate. He was with same cellmate from that date until August 9th. In addition, the SHU confinement includes frequent head counts as well as 30 minute checks. On August 9th at about 8:00 a.m., Epstein's cellmate was taken out of the institution for a Court appearance. That inmate was eventually released from custody by the Court and did not return to the institution. On August 9th.

No cellmate was assigned to his cell on August 9th. On August 10th at about 12:00 a.m., while in his cell, Epstein acknowledged a Correction Officer performing a routine check. After midnight, it appears that not all of the checks required to be performed were actually done. On August 10th at approximately 6:33 a.m., Staff serving breakfast meal found Epstein unresponsive in his cell. Staff called for assistance and began CPR. When EMS arrived at the institution, he was transported to hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7:36am.

I've spoken to an AFGE union official and Thomas's defense attorney. The story will run over the weekend so I'd appreciate a response by COB today. SDNY_00015817 Page 3823 Page 293 EFTA01687816 The thrust of the story is that morale has plummeted at the facility in the wake of the falsification of documents charges. Morale was already bad because of staffing issues. The story will also note that the facility itself is in very bad shape and that, according to people I spoke to, there has not been a hiring surge or any major reforms in the wake of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide. (1) Has any money been allocated for improving MCC as a facility since Epstein's death? RESPONSE: Yes, examples include money for staff positions at MCC New York (are we saying we are adding staff positions in the future or have already added them and already hired new staff now working there after Epstein's death) and overtime work performed at MCC New York by staff on temporary assignment from other Bureau of Prisons correctional institutions. The BOP has expended over $500,000 bringing staff to MCC New York from other facilities (since Epstein?). MCC New York has spent approximately 2.6 million in infrastructure repairs since March 2019 and continues to make appropriate enhancements and repairs thought the facility. (2) Has there been a hiring surge since Epstein's suicide? RESPONSE: 21 staff have been hired since inmate Epstein's death. (I may need to confirm with Central Office's HRM) (3) Any changes in BOP policies following Epstein's suicide? RESPONSE: will get more info to supplement this: There have been a number of policy changes implemented under a "back to basics" approach in recent months. MCC NY has made several chances and implementing managerial oversite pertaining to inmate accountability. This includes reviewing restictive housing (SHU) video footage to ensure rounds are conducted timely and accurately, lieutenants conducting counts in (SHU) on morning watch, staff conducting single cell reports for inmates housed alone in cells, and mandatory notification to the warden for review of inmates placed on suicide watch. In addition daily bed book audits supervised by Executive Staff. (4) Is it correct that Noel and Thomas were responsible for roughly 50 to 70 inmates the night of the suicide? RESPONSE: The BOP does not comment on matters related to investigations or pending litigation. (5) What is the attrition rate for BOP correctional officers? What's the average length of time a person stays in the job? (NYC-area would be best if it's available.) RESPONSE: ■ is checking to see if HRM can answer this; if not, then we could say the follawino, Same chaff have been workino at MIT' New York for 10 vent stiaciwootalEthp Page 3824 Page 294 EFTA01687817 average staff member assigned to MCC NY has 11.5 years with the agency. (6) Can you share anything supervisors at MCC have told the rank and file in the wake of these charges? What's the message to overworked, disgruntled correctional officers? RESPONSE: MCC New York Executive staff have been transparent with staff pertaining to staffing levels and its progress on hiring. Management has worked with the local union representatives and held a recruitment fair which was held in August to recruit Correctional Officers. The Excecutive staff has held staff recalls and meetings emphasizing that the institution's leadership understands staff's concerns and is doing the best to increase staffing levels. Staff have been told and regularly see the many staff who are assigned temporarily to MCC New York from all over the country to assist with shortages in multiple departments at MCC New York from correctional services, food service, safety, education, psychology, medical machanical services, As new positions post and staff see temporary staff coming in to alleviate the burdens of overtime work, the morale at MCC NY is improving.

I'm reaching out because we suspect one of the paramedics involved in responding the Jeffrey Epstein call posted information online before it was reported in the mainstream media. We were able to view posts on the website 4chan, frequented by far-right trolls, that were published a full 45 minutes before ABC news first reported Epstein's death. I'd like to send you the posts to verify whether the information in them is correct and whether it could have come to your team but in addition to that, do you have any statement on the situation?
