Thanks. This is helpful. We can talk tomorrow about the timing.

It will also be helpful to get some information about staffing at MCC I’ve seen additional press reports trying to link the staffing shortages, overtime and this incident.

Thanks,

as discussed, several options are below. Please note that we should discuss timing of all this.

Preferred:

Today, the Bureau of Prisons placed two staff who work in MCC NY on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation into the apparent suicide of Jeffrey Epstein. Additional actions may be taken as the circumstances of the investigations warrant.

If the warden is added, the following is proposed:

The Bureau of Prisons also temporarily reassigned the MCC NY Warden to the Northeast Regional Office pending the outcome of the investigation. FCI Otisville Warden has been named Acting Warden of the MCC NY.

While I prefer not to state the warden’s name in this release, if you decide it needs to be added, his name is .
