This is a Daily Lieutenant's Log from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York for August 11, 2019—the day Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell.
This operational log documents the overnight shift (12:00 AM to 8:00 AM) at MCC New York on August 11, 2019, the morning Jeffrey Epstein died. The document records routine security procedures including inmate counts (756 total inmates, 72-73 in Special Housing Unit), equipment checks, body alarm testing, and one administrative detention. Notably, the log mentions a non-operational Control Center Fire Panel and lists two inmates on psychological observation with companions. This type of institutional log became critical evidence in the investigation into Epstein's death, as it would document guard activities, facility checks, and any irregularities during the hours leading up to his death.
