This is a Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) New York daily operations log from August 12, 2019 — the day after Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell.
This MCC-NY Lieutenant's Log documents routine overnight operations on August 12, 2019, including inmate counts, equipment checks, and watch procedures. The log shows 757 total inmates with 75 in the Special Housing Unit (SHU). Two inmates are noted as being on psychiatric observation with companions. This document is significant as it captures the immediate operational aftermath at the facility where Epstein died the previous day, though it does not directly reference the incident.
