Event Details

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).
