SUBJECT: 
Security Expectations Involving Inmate 
Epstein, Jeffrey Reg. No. 76318-054 
During the week of July 31, 2019 in order to address management 
concerns with inmate Epstein. I felt it was necessary to hold informal 
training sessions with Correctional Services Supervisors and Line 
Staff assigned to the Special Housing Unit. The informal training 
sessions was conducted in the Lieutenants Office, inside the SHU, 
and while conducting rounds throughout the institution. I informed 
staff of the importance of being vigilant and being security minded 
when dealing with inmate Epstein, Jeffrey Reg. No. 76318-054, and 
other inmates within the Special Housing Unit. I explained that 
Lieutenants were to conduct more un announced rounds in the unit, 
providing oversite over operations and security. I pointed out 
apparent security concerns such as observation windows being blocked 
preventing staff from completing proper rounds, torn bed sheets, 
clothing, covering of light fixtures, clotheslines, and the 
accumulation of food trays in cells. I made clear of my expectations 
of maintaining a clean and manageable unit. I explained should we 
not continue to be proactive in the management of our inmate 
population, there would be another occurrence of the below describe 
incident. 
Inmate Epstein while housed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center 
located in New York City. In the early morning hours of July 23, 
2019, he was found unresponsive in his cell after an apparent suicide 
attempt. 
In detailed conversations with the SHU Lieutenant, he was informed 
of my expectations regarding the supervision of inmate Epstein. 
Specifically, he was reminded on several occasions that inmate 
Epstein was to housed with a cell mate.
