From: Bruce Barket Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2019 5:25 PM To: Subject: MCC conditions >; tonyricco Michael Bachrach I am writing as I have been asked to update everyone on the continuing problems at the facility. Mr. Tartaglione has not has books swapped out since was kind enough to it himself on August 15th. His radio has needed batteries for several days. The guards simply refuse to provide him with the batteries and new books he believes are in his property. Several guards have been making comments to him such as a€ceYoua€'"re threatening our livesa€ and a€ceGive the big mouth his trye€ and similar remarks aimed at intimidating him and conveying to him their displeasure with his complaints. As for visiting I arrived on Sunday and waited nearly 50 minutes because there was not staff in the lobby to process legal visits. I was able to see my client by 9;10, but I couldna€"'t stay through the count so I had to leave before 9:30. I know I did not make an appointment but the issue wasna€'"t a free room, but adequate staffing in the lobby. Yesterday I was able to see my client at 5:00 as scheduled. Bruce A. Barket, Esq.

I have advised the Warden and he will be prepared to speak as to language issues in medical and mental health. However, due to the ongoing outside investigation, we have no new information as to the Epstein investigation. To our knowledge, the matter is still under review by FBI, OIG, and the USAO. I also wanted to let you know personally before announcing it to the group that I have been selected as the incoming Deputy Regional Counsel for the Northeast Region in Philadelphia, PA, starting December 9. I have greatly enjoyed working with you and your staff and hope that I have been able to assist you when requested. I am sure my successor will continue to seek to work with all the stakeholders in doing what is best for both the general public and the inmate population.
