Summary

This document is an email thread from August 11, 2019, in which the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) asks Hugh Hurwitz (likely from the Bureau of Prisons) to verify a timeline of events concerning inmate Jeffrey Epstein's recent incarceration. The timeline details Epstein's placement on and removal from suicide watch in late July, his return to the Special Housing Unit, and the removal of his cellmate on August 9th.

[REDACTED] I made two edits/clarifications below on 7/29 first part, and 8/9 regarding the psych alert. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.
In terms of releasing the info, I don't have any concerns per se, however, this is all subject to an ongoing investigation. Normally, I would never release such information without first ensuring that the investigative body (OIG/FBI) do not have any concerns that its release may interfere with their investigation. Of course, you may have already done that, but in any event that is between you and them and not my business.
