Summary

This document is an email chain from August 13-15, 2019, coordinating a high-level visit by SDNY US Attorney Geoffrey Berman and DOJ Principal Deputy Attorney General Ed O'Callahan to the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York following Jeffrey Epstein's death. The officials requested to inspect the 2nd-floor suicide watch area, the 9th-floor SHU, and Epstein's specific cell, which remained cordoned off. The correspondence emphasizes strict protocols, including a request not to speak with guards due to ongoing investigations and the requirement for vests for the visitors.

I just found out that additional law enforcement agents will be joining but I don't know how many and who. I asked. I'm sorry!

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.
Thanks,
