Quote #1
""more than a dozen e-mails" expressing the USAO's “insistence" that Epstein be incarcerated for 18 months, and that her June 27, 2008 letter to counsel made clear that this meant "confinement for twenty-four hours a day.""Source

Quote #2
"The [USAO's] Agreement not to prosecute Mr. Epstein was based upon its determination that eighteen months' incarceration (i.e., confinement twenty-four hours a day) was sufficient to satisfy the federal interest in Mr. Epstein's crimes. Accordingly, the U.S. Attorney's Office hereby gives notice that Mr. Epstein has violated the [NPA] by failing to remain incarcerated twenty-four hours a day for the eighteen-month term of imprisonment. The United States will exercise any and all rights it has under the [NPA] unless Mr. Epstein immediately ceases and desists from his breach of this agreement."Source
