This document is a draft DOJ OIG report from March 2023 detailing the failure of MCC New York staff to properly supervise Jeffrey Epstein on August 9-10, 2019. It focuses on the Day Watch SHU Officer in Charge's failure to ensure Epstein was assigned a new cellmate after Inmate 3 was transferred, the failure to accurately conduct/document counts and cell searches, and the presence of excessive linens in Epstein's cell which facilitated his suicide. The report concludes the officer lacked candor in interviews and violated BOP policy by failing to notify supervisors of the cellmate vacancy.
