This document is an email thread from June 2021 between Assistant United States Attorneys (SDNY/White Plains office) regarding a June 25 deadline for an Epstein-related FOIA production. The discussion focuses on whether the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) can release documents without redactions related to a matter or individual referred to as 'Noel'.

The correspondence confirms that Epstein was never placed on the prison's 'Hot List' (high risk list) and that his entire central file and control center paperwork were seized by the FBI immediately following his death. The MCC agent explains the absence of certain physical logs due to digitization and addresses specific requests for BOP Program Statements, training manuals, and watch call sheets.
EFTA00032555.pdf
A Department of Justice control sheet tracking correspondence from Arlan Ettinger, President of Guernsey's Auction House, dated August 13, 2019. Ettinger proposed that his firm handle the disposal of Jeffrey Epstein's estate to maximize financial return and support young women.

EFTA00032004.pdf
This document contains notes from a conference call on November 25, 2020, between the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) and Ghislaine Maxwell's defense counsel (Sternheim and Everdell). The discussion focuses on Maxwell's conditions of confinement at the MDC, specifically complaints regarding excessive surveillance (cameras, sleep checks every 15 minutes), invasive strip searches, and isolation compared to General Population inmates. Defense counsel explicitly links the extreme surveillance measures to the government's fear of a repeat of the Jeffrey Epstein suicide incident.
EFTA00031987.pdf
An email from an Assistant US Attorney (SDNY) to FBI and OIG officials discussing a newly recovered document from a BOP FOIA production.

The email contains an embedded message file with the same subject line.
EFTA00031576.pdf
Internal US Attorney's Office email chain dated December 21, 2020, discussing a legal challenge in the case U.S. v. Rivera.

The email outlines the disparities and prepares for a required declaration due by December 31.
EFTA00031202.pdf

This document contains the Declaration of Russell Capone, Counsel to the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, in support of the Federal Bureau of Prisons' motion for summary judgment regarding FOIA requests filed by The New York Times Company concerning Jeffrey Epstein's incarceration and death. The declaration details the prosecutions of correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas for falsifying records related to Epstein's suicide, and Nicholas Tartaglione for a quadruple homicide, arguing that releasing certain records would interfere with these pending cases. Attached as Exhibit A is the Indictment of Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, and as Exhibit B is the Superseding Indictment of Nicholas Tartaglione.
EFTA00030940.pdf

EFTA00030880.pdf
This document is an email chain from January 2021 between Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, and BOP/MDC officials. Sternheim urgently requests that time-sensitive legal mail delivered to the MDC be given to Maxwell immediately for review over the Martin Luther King Day weekend. She also requests that Maxwell be granted access to a government-provided laptop because standard MDC computers cannot open the necessary discovery documents, arguing that denial of access hinders Maxwell's defense. The BOP recipient responds that the legal department does not process mail and that BOP policies must be followed.
EFTA00030777.pdf
This document is an email chain from June 2020 between DOJ/BOP officials regarding the production of documents for the Epstein suicide investigation. A Special Investigative Agent at MCC New York responds to specific requests for policies, training manuals, and SHU logs, noting that many original records (including Epstein's central file and control center paperwork) were likely seized by the FBI or OIG shortly after Epstein's death. The correspondence clarifies that hard copy logs generally do not exist for the requested period as the facility used digital logs emailed to executive staff.
EFTA00030552.pdf
An email chain from November 2019 between defense attorney Bruce Barket and the US Attorney's Office (SDNY).

EFTA00030487.pdf

EFTA00030430.pdf
An email chain from August 13, 2020, involving USANYS staff and James Margolin (PIO). They discuss a filing deadline regarding a defense motion to move Ghislaine Maxwell to general population or improve her access to discovery materials. Margolin highlights that Main Justice (OPA) and the Attorney General are closely monitoring the situation due to political pressure from Congressional Republicans regarding inmate safety, following the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein the previous summer.
EFTA00030417.pdf
This document is an email chain from late November to December 1, 2020, between officials at the US Attorney's Office (SDNY). They are coordinating a legal response regarding Ghislaine Maxwell, specifically involving a 'joint letter' to the Court and interactions with the BOP and MDC legal team. The correspondence notes that 'Bobbi and Chris' (likely defense counsel) rejected a proposal, necessitating the drafting of a new letter and affidavit regarding a defense request concerning the MDC warden.
EFTA00030386.pdf
This document is an email chain between the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) and Bureau of Prisons/MDC officials regarding Ghislaine Maxwell's initial custody conditions from July 6 to July 13, 2020.
