(DO) (FBI) <M >: (NY) (FBI) <I >; I (DO) (FBI) Subject: RE: Draft letter to Congress on Epstein a -the case team just got back to me. In addition to our concerns about the Warden's status and whether he has actual been notified of any administrative action they indicated the following: Regarding the ehparagraph. We have not heard of the terms, "special observation status". The protocols in the SHU are such that every 30 mins a guard is supposed to conduct a round through the cell block to check on the prisoners/cells. This is unrelated to a prisoner's psychological evaluations. Additionally, Epstein was still under psychological review, which meant he was having regular interaction with the MCC psychologist, but was under no special observation. Let me know if this is helpful or if you have additional questions. Best Regards, Criminal Division FBI New York Office EFTA00165471 From: (DO) (FBI) Sent: Monday, August 12, 2019 4:30 PM To: .
