BOP official, referenced in Bureau of Prisons oversight documents related to Epstein
Hugh Hurwitz served as the Acting Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) from May 2018 to August 2019 and was removed from this position following the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein in a federal jail.
Hurwitz's most significant appearance is related to the aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's death, which led to his removal as Acting Director of the BOP. Prior to this, he had a long career with the BOP, including roles as Assistant Director for Reentry Services and Senior Deputy Assistant Director of the Information, Policy and Public Affairs Division. Before returning to the BOP, he held positions at the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Education, and NASA's Office of Inspector General. Recently, in May 2025, he joined JailGeek as a strategic advisor.
