| 2023-06-22 | N/A | Release of DOJ OIG Report. | Washington D.C. / New York | View |
A memorandum from a retired Warden of MCC New York to Inspector General Michael Horowitz, responding to a draft OIG report regarding Jeffrey Epstein's suicide. The Warden defends against the claim of 'poor judgement' for failing to assign a backup cellmate, arguing that due to safety concerns and the high turnover of the inmate population, no suitable backup cellmates were available during Epstein's time in the Special Housing Unit (SHU).
This document is a June 22, 2023, press release from the DOJ Office of the Inspector General regarding their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's death at MCC New York. The report concludes that while there was no evidence of criminality (homicide) in his death, there were severe failures by MCC staff, including falsifying records, failing to conduct rounds, and leaving Epstein alone without a cellmate or monitoring for hours. The OIG made nine recommendations to the BOP, all of which were agreed to.
This newspaper article from December 8, 2018, reports that over two dozen U.S. lawmakers are demanding an investigation into Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta for his role as a former federal prosecutor in brokering a lenient 2008 plea deal for multimillionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The call for a probe, spurred by a Miami Herald investigation, highlights how the deal granted Epstein immunity, hid the proceedings from his underage victims, and allowed him to serve only 13 months in jail.
A defense against the OIG draft report's claim that the Warden used poor judgment in not selecting a backup cellmate for Epstein. The Warden argues that due to safety threats and the transient nature of the inmate population, no suitable backup cellmates were available.
Multiple letters were sent calling for an investigation into Acosta's potential misconduct.
The letter, signed by 15 senators, questioned if Epstein used connections to secure a lenient sentence and immunity for co-conspirators.
