This is a Daily Lieutenant's Log from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York for the morning watch shift on Sunday, July 14, 2019—the day before Jeffrey Epstein was found injured in his cell.
This routine operational log documents the overnight shift (midnight to 8:00 AM) at MCC New York on July 14, 2019. It records standard institutional procedures including counts (797-798 inmates), security checks, and notes that several inmates were on psychological observation or suicide watch with inmate companions. The log shows normal operations during the early hours of what would become a critical period in the Epstein case—he was found injured in his cell on July 23, 2019, and died by suicide on August 10, 2019. While this specific log doesn't mention Epstein by name (inmates are redacted), the date places it within the timeframe of his incarceration at MCC.
