This document contains 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 emails reveal significant staffing shortages, describing the facility as a 'ghost town' with '13 vacant posts,' and mention that the facility is on 'modified status' with several units vacated. Crucially, a supervisor explicitly instructs that rounds must be made in the SHU (Special Housing Unit), citing Epstein as a specific reason for this vigilance.
