UPDATE: Media inquiry - due today - NY Daily News - re: conditions at MCC NY post-Epstein From (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) To (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) Date 2019/12/06 15:34 Subject: UPDATE: Media inquiry - due today - NY Daily News - re: conditions at MCC NY post-Epstein Attachments: TEXT.htm Here is an updated version for the moment Reporter: (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) - NY DAILY NEWS Questions & Proposed Responses: Hello, I'm working on a story about morale at MCC in Manhattan in the wake of charges against (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) attorney. The story will run over the weekend so I'd appreciate a response by COB today. I've spoken to an AFGE union official and (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) defense The thrust of the story is that morale has plummeted at the facility in the wake of the falsification of documents charges. Morale was already bad because of staffing issues. The story will also note that the facility itself is in very bad shape and that, according to people I spoke to, there has not been a hiring surge or any major reforms in the wake of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide. (1) Has any money been allocated for improving MCC as a facility since Epstein's death? (b)(5) (2) Has there been a hiring surge since Epstein's suicide? (b)(5) (3) Any changes in BOP policies following Epstein's suicide? (b)(5) (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) (4) Is it correct that (b)(6); (b)(7)(C) were responsible for roughly 50 to 70 inmates the night of the suicide? Page 3943 DOJ-OGR-00025479
