Hello,¶
I am here and will be able to provide any information you need. Warden is on annual leave this week and I am acting on his behalf. I did provide all the information that we have to on July 24, 2019, who passed on the information to her superiors. Thanks.¶
I contacted Associate Warden who is cc’d on this email, and she will be able to provide any information that you need. If you need anything else, please let me know.¶
There has been an incident with a high profile prisoner (Jeffrey Epstein) at MCC New York. We are trying to get some basic information about the incident and are having a hard time getting any information out of the facility. Is there someone we could speak to and get the basic information? The USM and Chief for our S/New York office are having no luck with the Warden and Assistant Warden.¶
I sure will.¶

Hello,¶
Epstein is pending a Code 228, Tattooing or Self-Mutilation and I spoke with who indicated that most likely he will be found competent because he is not mentally ill. We have supporting memorandums from the responding officers who indicated they observed inmate Epstein with a makeshift noose around his neck. Therefore, he will be pending a UDC hearing. Should he return to SHU, he will be housed with inmate Inmate MI is a¶
54-year-old White Male. He is a Pretrial inmate on a Supervised Release Violation for Failure to Register as Sex Offender. He is refusing to go to general population.¶
The other inmates in SHU were reviewed for a possible cell mate, however, inmate were determined thearopriate candidates as cell mates. However,¶
also the current cell mate of inmate¶
releases on July 26, 2019. He is¶
We are still reviewing cases in the general population for a possible cell mate.¶
If I haven’t addressed your questions, please call me and let me know. Thanks.¶

Below is the definition of Psychological Observation provided by Chief Psychologist. He will remain on Psychological Observation until tomorrow, where lie will be reassessed.¶
DEFINITION: A Psychological Observation occurs when an inmate who suffers from a mental illness, a serious personality disorder, a medical problem (impairing their mental status), or drug intoxication and/or withdrawal symptoms begins to deteriorate. The inmate is no longer mentally stable and therefore, it is inappropriate for s/he to remain in general population or the Special Housing Unit (SHU). Inmates placed on psychological observation differ from inmates placed on suicide watch as they are not imminently suicidal (e.g., have not expressed self-harm or engaged in self-harming behavior), but rather, due to his/her impairment in mental status or functioning (e.g., not eating, not sleeping, disorganized/unusual thinking, poor self-care), his/her behavior can be unpredictable. Psychological Observation status is intended as a temporary designation to be utilized until such time as the inmate becomes sufficiently stable (e.g., able to function independently in general population) to be returned to his/her housing assignment or transferred to an inpatient psychiatric facility such as a Federal Medical Center.¶
He has a pending incident report for Self-Mutilation and therefore, he will return to the Special Housing Unit (SHU) and will be celled with inmate I . Inmate pleaded guilty. in March to mailing improvised explosive devices to 13 people, including many prominent Democratic figures, among them former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.) and Kamala D. Harris (Calif.), as well as CNN. He drove around in a van festooned with political stickers and rants, one of them targeting CNN. His case has been highly publicized and he is in SHU because he requested Protective Custody.¶
