That’s why the guards haven’t been named.
Notice nobody is talked about Mueller or his report anymore!!!!!!
“Mistakes were made......”
Mistakes happen.
I find it difficult to believe that in NYC, there are HIGH PAYING FEDERAL JOBS going unfilled where there is a UNION involved...................
“We are just so understaffed, they force us to make 150k in overtime because we are so terribly understaffed!” I’m not saying that is what is happening there, but it wouldn’t shock me. It could be that they are poorly paid, understaffed and over worked. But yeah I guess I would find that surprising at a high profile NYC fed union facility.

Apparently there is a ‘hiring freeze’:
My view of the staffing based on information from the 90s.
The highest paid Correctional Officers in the country are Cal and NY. And they have strong unions. I would think they have vacancies at this BOP federal jail. I am not excusing their not visually supervising the high risk, high profile inmate, as I have said on numerous threads.
It is probably easier for the city and state to hire people in jails and prisons in NY than the BOP. IIRTC BOP pays less that NY and Cal pay the state officers and the deputies get in the jails. Just a side bar.
That being said, when I was a young officer, I wanted vacancies. That’s how I bought a house and had new cars in the garage, and my wife stayed home till my youngest went to pre-school.
When i became a manager, my take-home went down because of no overtime.
About the guards...
NY Times “One of the staff members was a former correctional officer who had taken a different position at the detention center that did not involve guarding detainees. He had volunteered to work again as a correctional officer for the extra overtime pay, a law enforcement official and an employee at the jail said.
The second officer, a woman who was assigned to that wing, had been ordered to work overtime because the jail was short staffed.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/13/nyregion/jeffrey-epstein-jail-officers.html
NBC “According to two officials familiar with the MCC, the wing where Epstein was housed was properly staffed the night of his apparent suicide. One of the correction officers on duty at the time had recently taken a promotion to an administrative position, but was fully trained and had been a guard for seven years.”
SLATE “The two employees—one man and one woman, both working overtime because the jail was short-staffed—”
Right. It could very well be that they are all underpaid, overworked and understaffed due to the hiring freeze. I would still simply like to know how much this NYC fed prison pays in wages and how much it pays in overtime.

Just read that. So the real corrections officer was a woman. Makes sense. Women shriek. Men don’t shriek.

Unionized workers.
Wow, thanks!

Since Epstein is white, black prison administration has no obligation to do anything to keep him alive. Only Black Lives Matter and then only if there is some reward.
Africanization of the jail killed Epstein
It is easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission:
Not: Jeffery Epstein knows far too much about the rich and powerful (us); may we off him?
But: Jeffrey Epstein got offed, and we are going to make sure that it does not happen again.
