A legal opinion letter from attorney H. Dohn Williams Jr. to the U.S. Attorney's Office explaining the specific legal mechanisms Jeffrey Epstein used to avoid indefinite civil commitment under Florida's Jimmy Ryce Act. The author details how serving time in county jail rather than state prison was a deliberate loophole used to bypass the Act, a loophole that was closed in 2014. The letter asserts that 'money, powerful friends,' and the cooperation of the U.S. Attorney, State Attorney, and Sheriff's Office facilitated this unique arrangement.
