Summary
This document is a memorandum from the Warden of MCC New York to the Assistant Director of the Reentry Services Division, dated January 27, 2020. It serves as an institutional response to a 'Psychological Reconstruction' report regarding Jeffrey Epstein's death. The memo addresses deficiencies in video review procedures, lack of documentation for cellmate assignments, inaccuracies in incident reporting (specifically bias regarding the July 23, 2019 incident), and policy violations regarding unmonitored telephone calls, including a bizarre mention of a call to Epstein's deceased mother.
