This document contains an email chain from August 11-12, 2019, involving Bureau of Prisons officials, including Hugh Hurwitz, discussing the immediate aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's death. The emails draft a press statement announcing the placement of two MCC NY staff members on administrative leave and reference a potential third action (likely regarding the Warden). The correspondence also highlights concerns about press reports linking the incident to staffing shortages and overtime, and notes a scheduled meeting between the Warden and the US Attorney.
