Summary
This document is an email chain dated August 1, 2019, between US Attorneys in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. The emails discuss a significant Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision in *United States v. Boustani*, which ruled that wealthy defendants cannot use their financial resources to pay for 'private jails' (home confinement with private security) to secure bail when poorer defendants would be detained. This legal precedent was highly relevant to the Jeffrey Epstein case, as Epstein had attempted to secure bail under similar conditions shortly before this date.
