Page 1748 Hello, I'm working on a story about morale at MCC in Manhattan in the wake of charges against [b(6); (b)(7)(C)] . I've spoken to an AFGE union official and [b(6); (b)(7)(C)] defense attorney. The story will run over the weekend so I'd appreciate a response by COB today. 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.

[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? [b(5)] (5) What is the attrition rate for BOP correctional officers? What's the average length of time a person stays in the job? (NYC-area would be best if it's available.)
