Summary
This document details procedural irregularities and observations concerning inmate Jeffrey Epstein at MCC New York in July and August 2019. It highlights failures in maintaining log books, facilitating unmonitored phone calls (including one where Epstein claimed to call his deceased mother), and a lack of required continuous observation during multiple lengthy attorney visits while he was on psychological observation. Additionally, it records a staff member's description of Epstein as "distraught, sad and a little confused" shortly after his arrival at the facility.
