This document contains a series of internal Bureau of Prisons memorandums dated July 23, 2019, regarding a possible suicide attempt by Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. Staff responded to a call at 1:27 AM and found Epstein unresponsive in his cell with a makeshift noose/orange cloth around his neck, while his cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione alerted guards. While staff treated the incident as a suicide attempt and placed Epstein on suicide watch, Epstein later claimed to officers that Tartaglione had actually attempted to kill and extort him.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced charges against federal correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas for falsifying records and conspiracy related to the night of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide. The indictment alleges that the officers failed to perform mandatory checks on inmates in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) between 10:30 p.m. on August 9 and 6:30 a.m. on August 10, 2019, instead browsing the internet and sitting at their desks while falsifying count slips. Epstein committed suicide by hanging during this unmonitored period.

DOJ-OGR-00001593.jpg

This page is from a legal memorandum filed on July 10, 2020, arguing for the pretrial release of Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense contends that the government has failed to prove she is a flight risk or that no conditions exist to assure her appearance, citing the Bail Reform Act and Supreme Court precedent (Salerno) establishing liberty as the norm and detention as an exception. A footnote references a separate letter regarding poor prison conditions, including lack of visitation and legal access, which the defense argues are 'compelling reasons' for release.
