Summary
This document is a June 22, 2023, press release from the DOJ Office of the Inspector General regarding their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's death at MCC New York. The report concludes that while there was no evidence of criminality (homicide) in his death, there were severe failures by MCC staff, including falsifying records, failing to conduct rounds, and leaving Epstein alone without a cellmate or monitoring for hours. The OIG made nine recommendations to the BOP, all of which were agreed to.

Quote #4
"We found that the staff’s failure to assign Epstein a cellmate on August 9, to conduct rounds and counts that evening, and to allow him to have excess linens in his cell, left Epstein unmonitored and locked alone in his cell for hours, which provided him an opportunity to commit suicide."Source
