Summary
This document contains a series of email chains between the DOJ OIG and MCC New York staff regarding the timeline of a camera system installation relative to Jeffrey Epstein's death on August 10, 2019. The correspondence reveals that the camera system was ordered in September 2018 and likely arrived at MCC NY in October 2018, with a planned installation in March 2019, but was not actually installed until the week of August 16, 2019, immediately following the 'Epstein incident.' The OIG is questioning why the system sat uninstalled for nearly a year.

"It shows that it was scheduled to ship on 9/30/2018 from Qognify. We currently don't have the tracking that shows when you exactly received it but best guess is 7 to 14 days which would put it on your dock around October 14th 2018 and it was installed the week of August 16th 2019."Source

Good afternoon Mr. [Redacted],
I have been asked to obtain the following information with regard to our meeting and communications a few months ago. Can you please provide the following information at your earliest ability?
Is/was your position title "Facility Manager" or "Facilities Manager"?
In your below email, you say that you arrived to the MCC New York as a TDY assignment in February 2019. What was your position title during that assignment?
When did you officially become the MCC New York Facility/Facilities Manager?
When did Facility/Facilities Manager [Redacted] stop working at the MCC New York? I have been informed that he retired from the BOP in September 2019, but it is my understanding from speaking with you that he stopped working at the MCC New York a long while prior. Can you please confirm when he stopped filling the role as the MCC New York Facilities Manager?
Thank you very much in advance. I hope you are well.

Good Afternoon,
Yes, the camera system was scheduled to start March 17, 2019 and started on schedule. When I arrived TDY February 2019 we, only had one Communication Technician. Therefore, after talking to the regional office, they started a project to assist in funding and labor, so we were able to start the week of March 17, 2019 for the camera system and all other infrastructure throughout the institution.
Below is the email sent to all institutions form [Redacted] the Northeast Regional Facilities Administrator.

The staff will be working 12 hour days to make repairs to the above items. Once I get a list of interested staff, a schedule complied.
I would like first crews to arrive at the beginning of the next pay period (March 17th). So to the greatest extent possible, NER and MXR staff first weeks because they are able to drive GOV's. Travel days will be the Sunday before and Saturday after. In order to defray costs as much as possible, hotel arrangements have been made at a location close to the institution that you are able to walk to and from and of course staff will be receiving per diem. Parking will be provided at a location close to the institution. Please reply to this email if you have any interested staff and the dates they are available that by leaving your institutions will not create a hardship for your daily operation.
All expenses will be paid from Special Project #FMIS Project Request - 79F New York Repairs. Because this is a MCC there are a very limited number of inmates that can assist, therefore the work will be accomplished by staff only.
Thank you in advance and if there are further questions, please contact me or [Redacted] Facilities Management Specialist at [Redacted] or [Redacted]

Good morning [Redacted],
Good morning [Redacted],
Thank you very much. Per our telephone conversation, was the camera system that was already on site and installed the week ending August 16, 2019, ever scheduled to be installed prior to August 10, 2019? If so, when was it scheduled to be installed and can you please provide documentation (i.e. emails or other documents) supporting the date(s)? If not, why was it not scheduled to be installed prior to August 10, 2019?
Thanks again for all of your assistance with this matter.

I didn't want to leave you hanging so this is what we know so far:
It appears that FedEx must recycle tracking numbers. The order was placed on 9/27/2018 from SigNet to Qognify/Nice and the original PO shows it was shipped directly to the site MCC New York. It shows that it was scheduled to ship on 9/30/2018 from Qognify. We currently don't have the tracking that shows when you exactly received it but best guess is 7 to 14 days which would put it on your dock around October 14th 2018 and it was installed the week of August 16th 2019.
We will continue to try and find the tracking information for when it actually hit your dock. Let me know if you need anything else.
