Who is Stephanie Scannell in the Epstein files?

She is a Bureau of Prisons official who appears in 74 documents, mostly 2019 emails from the weeks around Epstein's detention at the MCC in New York. She worked alongside BOP colleague Adam Johnson and communicated with SDNY prosecutors, court staff and defense attorneys. The files do not state her job title.

What did Stephanie Scannell do in relation to Jeffrey Epstein?

The emails show her handling liaison and administrative matters. She wrote to a colleague about Epstein's inmate file in July 2019 and responded to the court order in USA v. Epstein on August 23, 2019. She also received emails about his medical and mental-health records, and told a prosecutor that Judge Berman had invited her and the Warden to the August 27, 2019 hearing. She also helped coordinate prosecutors' visits to the facility.

Does Stephanie Scannell have any personal relationship with Epstein?

No. Nothing in the documents suggests a personal or social relationship. Her appearances are professional and institutional, tied to her BOP role. Her contact with attorney Bruce Barket also appears to be professional, and the files do not show that those emails concerned Epstein himself.

Why does she appear alongside Park Row, Martha Stewart and the Southern District?

Park Row is the address of the MCC where Epstein was held, and the Southern District of New York is the prosecuting office. Her emails involve both. The Martha Stewart overlap probably reflects the two names appearing in the same large batches of Bureau of Prisons email, not a direct connection.

Watch: Stephanie Scannell in the Epstein files

1:13

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

Stephanie Scannell appears in the files as a Bureau of Prisons (BOP) official with a bop.gov email address. She handled communications about Jeffrey Epstein's detention at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York in mid-to-late 2019, including his records, the court order in his case, and visits to the facility.

Scannell is on 34 emails as sender, recipient or cc, almost all from July to September 2019. In them she coordinates with BOP colleague Adam Johnson and with prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. Other documents are BOP email-system records, including medical and mental-health record emails about Epstein, that list her as a recipient. The files do not state her job title. They show her working on institutional and legal liaison matters, not as a witness to events. Most of her appearances are routine government email chains and distribution lists.

Key Highlights

•On July 25, 2019, she wrote to Andres Naranjo in an email headed "Epstein #76318-054", Epstein's BOP inmate number.
•On August 23, 2019, she replied to an email titled "Order in USA v. Jeffrey Epstein 19 cr 490". Adam Johnson and a Southern District of New York court staff address were on it. The same day, a colleague emailed Johnson, Joy Aassiddaa and Scannell about Epstein's medical and mental-health records.
•On August 27, 2019, she emailed SDNY prosecutor Maurene that Judge Berman had invited the Warden and her to that morning's hearing.
•In August 2019 she was a recipient on emails arranging a visit to the MCC by prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office. Adam Johnson wrote to her and to Rebekah Donaleski (USANYS) with a copy to Nicolas Roos (USANYS). Plans included meeting in the MCC lobby at 10 a.m. on a Thursday and having the new acting warden join the tour.
•She corresponded with defense attorney Bruce Barket about other MCC matters, under subject lines such as "update on social visit?", "Tartaglione and MCC" and "Epstein investigation". The files do not show these as being about Epstein's own detention.
•In September 2019 she was copied on a chain titled "Follow up requests from UK re: extradition". It involved BOP psychology staff and an SDNY prosecutor, and discussed how to define mental-health care classifications such as CCS-MH and CARE2-MH.
•Her strongest links in the files are to the MCC, the Southern District of New York, Adam Johnson and Jeffrey Epstein. She also shares many documents with Martha Stewart, which likely reflects mentions in the same large email sets, not a direct relationship.
