The Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan will be closed at least temporarily to address issues that have long plagued the facility, including lax security and crumbling infrastructure.
The U.S. government said Thursday it is shutting down an embattled federal jail in New York City after a slew of problems that came to light following disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide there two years ago.
The federal Bureau of Prisons said the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan will be closed at least temporarily to address issues that have long plagued the facility, including lax security and crumbling infrastructure.
The facility, which has held inmates such as Mexican drug lord and escape artist Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and Mafia boss John Gotti, currently has 233 inmates, down from a normal population of 600 or more. Most of them are expected to be transferred to a federal jail in Brooklyn.
The decision to close the Metropolitan Correctional Center — billed as one of the most secure jails in America — comes weeks after Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco toured the jail and saw the conditions firsthand.

The primary problem is those damn cameras. So unreliable.
Where Epstein was murdered.
They also need to fire and replace most the workers and shift supervisors from that prison.
Most likely though, the lousy workers from prison A. will be transfered to prison B.
Everyone of the jailers are on the take.
Barn Door...Horse
Make no mistake: Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide!
Probably an early Covid case.
Don’t be too surprised if we see head,Ines in the near future that say “ny to close all prisons because they don’t work well enough to rehabilitate the good people incarcerated in them”
Hint:
What do you do with empty jails?
Prison closures in ...3, 2, 1,...
Wht is AP and the rest of the news media still pushing the ‘Eostein killed himself’ farce, It is obvious that he did not kill himself. The evidence is clear. The cameras that would have covered him were disabled. The two guards that should have patrolled his cell block did not. he had 3 broken bones in his neck that indicate that he was strangled. All the evidence is there and still the media keeps trying to put us off with ‘Epstein killed himsself’ lie. Who are they trying to hide?
Lax security? They have one job...
