Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report: DOJ-OGR-00023490

The DOJ OIG report investigates the circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death in BOP custody, finding significant misconduct and negligence by MCC New York staff, including false documentation and a non-functional security camera system. The report concludes that while the FBI determined Epstein's death was not a result of criminal conduct, the BOP's failures were troubling and require urgent attention from DOJ and BOP leadership. The OIG made eight recommendations to improve BOP's management, all of which were agreed upon by the BOP.
