Summary
This document is a draft DOJ OIG report from March 2023 investigating the BOP's supervision of Jeffrey Epstein at MCC New York. It details the failures of the 'Evening Watch SHU Officer in Charge' and other staff on August 9-10, 2019, including the failure to assign Epstein a new cellmate after his was transferred, the falsification of mandatory round and count records, and the failure to conduct cell searches or limit linens. The report concludes the officer knowingly falsified federal records, though the SDNY declined prosecution.
