This email chain from July 24, 2019, details communications between MCC New York Associate Warden Shirley V. Skipper-Scott and her colleague Lamine N'Diaye regarding inmate Epstein. Skipper-Scott reports that Epstein is pending a disciplinary hearing for self-mutilation but is considered mentally competent, and she is seeking a suitable cellmate for him in the Special Housing Unit (SHU).
