MEMORANDUM FOR imp. 
CTOR GENERAL

FROM: 
External Auditing Branch 
SUBJECT: 
Status Update to the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) 
Final Report dated June 26, 2023: Investigation and Review of the Federal 
Bureau of Prisons' Custody, Care, and Supervision of Jeffrey Epstein at the 
Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, New York 
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) appreciates the opportunity to provide a response to the Office 
of the Inspector General's above referenced memorandum received on April 22, 2024. The FBOP has 
completed its review of the analysis and offers the following status update regarding the analysis and 
its recommendations. 
Recommendation One: The BOP should implement a process for assigning a cellmate 
following suicide watch or psychological observation, with criteria for exceptions based on the 
particular individual or security considerations. 
OIG Analysis: The BOP's update is responsive to the recommendation. In a previous update, the 
BOP reported that RSD and CPD were collaborating on a memo to provide guidance to the field on a 
process to ensure psychologists make recommendations regarding housing, including the presence of 
a cellmate, for individuals in custody following suicide watch or psychological observation. The BOP 
further reported that this process will include exemptions based on individual or security 
considerations. The BOP has now indicated that this guidance has been drafted and is under review. 
Accordingly, the OIG will consider whether to close this recommendation after the BOP (I) finalizes 
the guidance referenced in its update, and (2) provides the finalized guidance to the OIG for review.
