Epstein's guards worked extreme OT shifts morning of death
NEW YORK (AP) — Guards
on Jeffrey Epstein's unit
were working extreme
overtime shifts to make up
for staffing shortages the
morning of his apparent
suicide, a person familiar
with the jail's operations
told The Associated Press.
The person said that the
Metropolitan Correctional
Center's Special Hous-
ing Unit was staffed with
one guard working a fifth
straight day of overtime
and another who was
working mandatory over-
time. The person wasn't au-
thorized to discuss jail oper-
ations publicly and spoke
Sunday on the condition of
anonymity.
The jail staff failed to follow
protocols leading up to Ep-
stein's death , according
to a report from The New
York Times , deepening the
fallout from what led to the
highly connected finan-
cier's apparent suicide.
