Summary
This document is an email chain from August 13-15, 2019, coordinating a high-profile visit to the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York shortly after Jeffrey Epstein's death. US Attorney Geoffrey Berman and Principal Deputy Attorney General Ed O'Callahan were scheduled to tour the facility, specifically requesting to see Epstein's cell (noted as cordoned off), the 9th floor SHU, and the suicide watch area. The correspondence highlights tensions regarding last-minute additions of law enforcement agents and explicitly states the visitors would not speak to guards due to ongoing investigations.

I just found out that additional law enforcement agents will be joining but I don't know how many and who. I asked. I'm sorry!

If it is not too much of an imposition, we ask that all visitors come to our front lobby for screening before admission.
Thanks!

As discussed, we would like to see the 2nd floor pscyh observation and suicide watch area; the 9th floor SHU, and Epstein's cell, which we understand to still be cordoned off. As discussed, we would appreciate if only MCC legal would escort us, and we will not speak to any of the guards present given the ongoing investigations. Please give me a call with any questions, and let us know what time and where we should go, and if it would be easier for us to enter via the 3rd floor bridge.
Thanks,
