Official Metropolitan Correctional Center lieutenant's log from July 8, 2019 — the day Jeffrey Epstein pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking charges in his arraignment hearing.
This is an internal Department of Justice operational document from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York, recording routine security procedures on July 8, 2019. The log shows the facility held 790 inmates, with Epstein housed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) which held 76 inmates. The document captures standard institutional operations — count checks, fire alarm status, metal detector tests, and body alarm testing — during one of the most consequential days of the Epstein case: his federal arraignment where he pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges.
