This document is an email thread between staff at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York dated August 2-4, 2019, just days before Jeffrey Epstein's death. The correspondence highlights severe staffing shortages, describing the facility as a 'ghost town' with 13 vacant posts, and notes that specific posts in the SHU (Special Housing Unit) were vacated. A supervisor explicitly instructs that rounds must be made in the SHU, citing Epstein as a specific reason for this vigilance.
