The dysfunctional federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself in 2019 will be closed “at least temporarily,” the Justice Department said Thursday.
The Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan could be shut down as soon as the coming month, sources say.
“In an effort to address the issues at MCC NY as quickly and efficiently as possible, the Department has decided to close the MCC, at least temporarily, until those issues have been resolved. Planning for the deactivation is under way, and we will have more updates as that process continues,” a DOJ spokeswoman said in a statement.
Sources were skeptical the jail would ever resume operations resembling previous years, when the jail held 700 or more inmates.
The jail currently holds only 263 inmates, according to Bureau of Prisons data.
“The place is just f-ing falling apart,” one jails insider said. “Literally, for years now, there’s water leakages — saturation of the concrete infrastructure of some of those those floors going on for years. That’s a big reason for having to do this, the deterioration of the structure.”
The shutdown presents major logistical challenges for Manhattan Federal Court, which is connected to the jail. District Executive Ed Friedland, who is in charge of the court’s operations, said he had not been notified of the plan.

A friend of mine worked as a mechanic in the system for 30 years the neglect comes form not supplying them with the necessary supplies and equipment to do their job over the years. Their budgets went to zero and only emergency money was at hand to put a band aid on it. This was deliberate to close them down and do away with jails period.
