Summary
This document is an email thread between senior officials (likely within the Bureau of Prisons) dated August 10-11, 2019, immediately following Jeffrey Epstein's death. One official circulates a draft message to staff that accepts responsibility for the failure to keep the inmate safe and mentions ongoing FBI and IG investigations. A respondent advises removing the language admitting failure or personal responsibility, noting that while '2 or 3 people failed' (likely referring to the guards), the statement shouldn't implicate the entire workforce of 36,000.
