Summary

This document is an email chain from August 13-15, 2019, coordinating a high-level visit to the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York by US Attorney Geoffrey Berman, Principal Deputy Attorney General Ed O'Callahan, and other DOJ/USANYS staff. The correspondence details the specific areas the officials wished to inspect, including the 2nd-floor suicide watch area, the 9th-floor SHU, and Jeffrey Epstein's cell (noted as cordoned off). The emails emphasize that the visitors would not speak to guards due to 'ongoing investigations' and discuss logistics such as security vesting and the presence of the Acting Warden.

As discussed, we would like to see the 2nd floor pscyh observation and suicide watch area; the 9th floor SHU, and Epstein's cell, which we understand to still be cordoned off. As discussed, we would appreciate if only MCC legal would escort us, and we will not speak to any of the guards present given the ongoing investigations. Please give me a call with any questions, and let us know what time and where we should go, and if it would be easier for us to enter via the 3rd floor bridge.
