An unnamed correctional officer assigned to the Receiving and Discharge unit at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York was interviewed by the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General on July 15, 2021 as part of the federal investigation into the death of Jeffrey Epstein while in custody. The interview was formally recorded by OIG special agents, who identified themselves on the record before questioning the officer inside an executive office at MCC. The officer’s identity was redacted throughout the transcript, consistent with many of the prison staff interviews conducted during the wider review into Epstein’s incarceration and death in August 2019.
The interview was part of the OIG’s broader effort to reconstruct conditions inside MCC and determine what failures occurred in the lead-up to Epstein’s death. Investigators questioned prison personnel across multiple departments as they examined issues including inmate monitoring, staffing shortages, housing procedures, missed rounds, and internal recordkeeping practices at the jail. The testimony from the unnamed R&D officer became one piece of the larger federal review into how MCC operated during the period Epstein was detained there, as scrutiny intensified over the breakdowns and inconsistencies uncovered during the investigation.
