This is a daily operations log from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York for August 9, 2019 - the day Jeffrey Epstein died in custody.
This MCC New York Lieutenant's Log documents routine overnight operations from midnight to 8:00 AM on August 9, 2019. The log records standard institutional procedures including inmate counts (759-760 inmates), equipment checks, and body alarm testing. Notably, it lists two inmates on suicide watch with inmate companions at the beginning of the shift, though no names are provided in this excerpt. This document is significant as it represents official Bureau of Prisons records from the facility where Epstein was housed during the hours leading up to his death.
