This document is an internal email exchange from August 2019 discussing overtime staffing and operations at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) New York, the federal prison where Jeffrey Epstein was held.
The email chain provides a detailed breakdown of overtime usage at MCC New York during the first week of August 2019, just before Epstein's death.
