The world knew who Jeffrey Epstein was, but not his jailers. That seems to suggest that there were people at the jail who had never heard of Jeffrey Epstein. And one of the memos told us, apparently, the Marshal Service did not indicate that he was a high-profile inmate, and the staff were unaware that he was coming, so no plans had been established. And it was only after one of the higher-up officials realized this that they changed his location. He was originally placed in the jail’s general population, which is the least restrictive area for prisoners. And it indicated that he had no record of sex offense convictions, even though he was a registered sex offender and had two convictions from 2008 in Florida.

And we were repeatedly, categorically turned down. So my colleagues at The Times - Danielle Ivory, Steve Eder, and Matt Goldstein - filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Bureau of Prisons seeking the internal records of Epstein’s 36 days of detention at that jail before his death. So it seemed really worth trying to figure out how this death could occur in this institution.

He never had the trial that they wanted him to have, his day in court and their day in court. And there were dozens of women, at the time young girls, who had been Epstein’s alleged victims, and frankly who saw his death as an escape from justice. They shouldn’t be allowed to escape, whether it’s physically escape or through perhaps taking their own life. If the justice system is going to arrest somebody, prosecute them, bring them to justice, that should happen. And the question was very simple - how did the government let what was finally ruled a suicide happen on their watch? sabrina tavernise You know, it’s remarkable that he died in federal custody.
