Summary
This document contains a chain of emails between Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and likely DOJ officials dated August 13-14, 2019, days after Jeffrey Epstein's death. The correspondence details a list of 10 specific questions regarding staffing levels, overtime (OT), and 'augmentation' (using non-custody staff for custody roles) at MCC New York. Crucially, Question 5 asks specifically for the intended vs. actual staff count for the night shift of August 9th into the morning of August 10th (the time of death). The document also provides statistical data on overtime usage for the week leading up to the death.
