Event Details

This document is a formal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed on August 13, 2019, by New York Times reporter Danielle Ivory to the Bureau of Prisons. The request seeks 15 specific categories of records related to the detention and death of Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), including housing logs, suicide watch removal records, medical reports, and staff overtime sheets for specific dates in July and August 2019. Ivory argues for expedited processing and a fee waiver due to the extreme public interest and conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's death in federal custody.
