Official Bureau of Prisons timeline documenting Jeffrey Epstein's final days at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, including the July 23, 2019 incident where he was found injured in his cell, his time on suicide watch, and the circumstances leading to his death on August 10, 2019.
This is a high-value internal prison document providing a minute-by-minute timeline of key events in Jeffrey Epstein's detention at MCC New York. It details the July 23 incident when Epstein was found in fetal position with a red neck and placed on suicide watch, his return to general housing with cellmate Reyes, and critically documents the failures on the night of August 9-10 when officers failed to conduct required counts. The document confirms that Epstein was left without a cellmate despite being on psychological alert requiring one, and that officers failed to conduct the 3am and 5am official counts before his body was discovered at 6:33am.
