Summary
Handwritten interview notes from an inmate witness housed in the MCC Special Housing Unit (SHU) describing the conditions and the specific night of Jeffrey Epstein's first suicide attempt (likely July 23, 2019). The witness, located in Cell 119, describes hearing a thump, the cellmate (former police officer Nicholas Tartaglione) screaming for guards, and the chaotic response where guards allegedly dropped Epstein from a stretcher twice. The notes detail the items used for the attempt (orange socks and towel tied together), the lack of regular checks, and the video recording of the aftermath.
