This document is an internal email chain among staff at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) New York from August 2-4, 2019, shortly before Jeffrey Epstein's death. The emails reveal severe staffing shortages, describing the facility as a 'ghost town' with '13 vacant posts'. A supervisor explicitly instructs staff to ensure rounds are made in the SHU (Special Housing Unit), citing Epstein specifically as 'one of the reasons' for this necessity. The emails also note that several units, including parts of the SHU, were vacated and the facility was on 'modified status'.
