Mega Edition: The Captain Of Security Operations At MCC And His OIG Deposition (Part 11-12) (9/6/26)

About this episode

The document is a sworn OIG interview transcript from June 15, 2021, involving the Bureau of Prisons captain who oversaw security operations at MCC New York during the period surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death. The captain described the command structure inside the jail, including his role supervising lieutenants and reporting up to associate wardens or the warden, while investigators walked him through staffing, rosters, post assignments, suicide-watch procedures, SHU operations, and the chain of responsibility on August 9–10, 2019. The transcript is important because it does not present Epstein’s death as a clean, orderly institutional event; instead, it shows a jail struggling with bad staffing, confusing handoffs, unfilled posts, questionable paperwork, and a command structure where critical responsibilities appear to have been either missed, misunderstood, or passed around.


The most serious value of the interview is in the irregularities it surfaces. The captain reportedly discussed inaccurate rosters or logs, acknowledged questions around skipped SHU rounds, addressed the fact that Epstein had previously been on suicide watch, and said he would not necessarily have known in real time if officers were failing to conduct required checks. Even more troubling, he expressed concern that certain documents may have been deliberately removed from files that should have been reviewed or audited, and investigators also raised an inmate-count issue involving an inmate named Reyes, whose release may not have been properly reflected in the institution’s count — something the captain treated as a protocol violation. Taken together, the transcript adds another layer to the larger Epstein death record: not a single clean explanation, but a bureaucratic mess of missing or questionable documentation, staffing failures, broken supervision, and institutional chaos at precisely the moment when the most high-profile federal inmate in America was supposed to be under careful control.

What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode we're going to get right back to the captain slash CO and their interview with the OIG inspectors. Question on Saturday, August 10th 2019, Redacted received a phone call from Lieutenant Redacted around 7am. Answer, no that's not accurate. I received a phone call from Lieutenant Redacted. I believe it was between the hours approximately 635, between 635 and 645, 650, somewhere in there. Question and was told that Epstein was found on a responsive in his cell. But it was redacted who called. Answer, yes it was. Question, okay, redacted and inquired about Epstein's cellmate and was surprised to hear. Redacted respond that Epstein did not have a cellmate. Answer, that is correct. Question, so you immediately said where's the cellmate? Answer, yes.

Question, okay, yeah. Now this is again where I'm getting confused because in the report they again say redacted worked at 4pm to 10pm on August 9th 2019 and you're saying that's not right. Answer, no, he would have worked 2 to 10. Question and did he work on August 9th 2 to 10? Answer, August 9th on right here. Question, I thought we said on August 9th he didn't work. Answer, he wasn't there on August 9th he wasn't there. Question, so from 4pm to 10pm who was there? Redacted answer, yeah. But like this thing, like when redacted saying he's non-custody because you can see the roster, he's cut off by the inspector. So was redacted, so the two and the activities lieutenant was redacted, correct? Answer, so let me, can I school you on something? Question, absolutely, please. Answer, let me just school you on something. Question, please, that's why we're here. Answer, these rosters, you see when you printed this roster,

you printed this roster here. That says 6221, that's this year. I can guarantee you the roster, don't look like this back on the day the roster was printed, initially inputted. Question, so someone would have changed it? Answer, somebody went in there and changed it. Question, but does that mean that? This is inaccurate or the other is inaccurate? Answer, this is inaccurate. I can tell you why because redacted one, this is how, because I was like redacted non-custody. Why would he make sure that said non-custody? Now redacted, I temporarily promoted him to 11. I temporarily promoted him to 11. Question, can you circle that? Answer, because he couldn't have been in there or in the institution by himself. Question, so you think that he went in there and put in that indesernable? Answer, I'm not going to say that. Question, but that's not what he gets cut off by the guard, but what I will say,

he gets cut off by the investigator. Question, what is normally what you would say? Answer, because he become non-custody until I think it was when he got out of non-custody and became a counselor. I believe that wasn't until 2020, not 2020. I think it was the last part of 19, going into 20 or something like that. He was still on correctional service, but the thing about this roster, all these pages right here, anytime you make a change, it tells you the date and time of the change. So let's go here. Time change, activities lieutenant or redacted, that's done on 8.9 CP, who you've got to find out, who CP was. Question, but 8.9, that was prior to the incident. Answer 8.9. 09. 08. 09, that was done at 9.09 AM. The absolute tenant, it was redacted, so redacted to sick leave on that day, and he gets cut off by the investigator. So redacted was on sick leave,

answer, redacted change, dumb on the roster on 8.9, at 8.58 AM, on Friday, August 9. Redacted was relieving an officer on 8.09, but as you see, where you see and see at, question, what are we looking for? Answer and see non-custody, it's right there. Question, oh, it would have. So somebody went in at some point and put, and if he put non-custody, was that somebody trying to cover up, like, hey, I had nothing to do with it? Answer, I wasn't in custody in that time. He put me in there, because you know, why would I do that? You're a lieutenant. Question, so it's somebody trying to say, like, hey, I got to go through it, but that's something that we should address with redacted, answer, that's something you've got to do from the time you printed one. Look, when you printed one of these rosters, right, I can guarantee you, if you go back to 5.83 packet and print out the roster for 8.09 and 8.10 of 2010 or 2019, excuse me, it's not going to mirror the same. It's going to be

changed. It's not going to be the same. Question and do we have the ability to do that? Answer sure. Question to go back into it, answer to go the 5.83 incident. Yep. Question and that'll have the roster in there. Answer for Jeffrey. Question. Yep. Answer for Epstein's incident. Yeah. Those two copies of that roster should be in there. Question, okay, good point. We'll go back and we'll look at that. Answer, but you printed that a couple of weeks ago. It's not going to say the it should. Question so up until just a clarify up to 8.9 that morning at 8.58 AM before that time, it was redacted on the schedule. Answer, yeah. Question that means he called in and redacted CP, redacted at 8.58 on August 9th, changed it over to redacted. Answer correct. Question. So I wonder why? Okay. All right. So that is inaccurate.

One more question, sorry. That CP, can anyone enter CP or is that what it was in the system? Can anyone enter CP? Answer no because when you log in the roster program, it's done by your PIB card number. Question, okay, no problem. That's it. Back to the questions from the other investigator now. Question, all right. And it says that lieutenant redacted is the one who did the 10 PM to 6 AM shift. Answer correct. Question. It says redacted did not personally tell redacted that Epstein required a cellmate at all times. He believed she was aware because he had informed his lieutenants repeatedly and instructed them to pass his message along and convey the information among themselves. Is that correct? Answer yes. Question. Redacted did not hold the formal all lieutenants meeting regarding Epstein or send an all staff email with the warden's directive. However, you did send emails with regard to the way that they were supposed to act and their

duties and responsibilities. Answer correct. Question and you'll send me that? Answer yes. Question. Okay. He verbally instructed his lieutenants on an informal and individual basis as many as possible with whom he had the opportunity. On Saturday morning, August 10, 2019, redacted was relieved early by redacted. Now, as far as redacted goes, her claiming she didn't, if she's claiming she didn't know, and if you didn't specifically tell her, who should have told her? Or how should she have known? Answer. How she would have known is, is that when she did rounds, she would have had those cards. Question no no. Okay. So he gets cut off by the guard again. She would have known that these inmates are high visibility and the guidance was already out. So it was disseminating throughout the unit. So the staff was aware. So of course, probably in, you know, with her, we didn't have a good relationship, but regardless of the fact, is that I made the lieutenants aware of my expectations. So even though I might not have told her because she worked the morning

watch shift and by six she would have been gone, I wouldn't see her. Question. Now, was that abnormal for her to leave before six before the shift was done? Answer. They was work in 10 to six. So by the time I walked in the door, she would be gone. Question, but what I'm saying is, if she's leaving before six, answer. Now before six, that would be a problem. Question. So even like 10 minutes before, is that a problem? Answer. Not really. Question. Okay. Answer. Not really. Because if the relieving person gets there, because knowing the lieutenants, some lieutenants come, and hour early, some lieutenants come 10, 15 minutes early, it's just whatever happens. Sometimes the lieutenant has to work late because they have an incident or they have administrative duties, they have to finish before or after their shift, which is fine, but they are compensated for that. Question. Right. Okay. In the shoe, 30 minute rounds need to be completed consistently at non-uniform intervals within the 40 minute time frame. The purpose of the round is to ensure

that good order is being maintained. There is no suspicious activity and all inmates are accounted for and responsive. 30 minute rounds are documenting in TrueScope, which serves as an electronic log book. After a round is physically done, the correctional officer can log into TrueScope and press a button, certifying that the round was completed. Unfortunately, sometimes, officers do not complete a 30 minute round or exceed the 40 minute threshold. TrueScope also documents from what location, terminal, the rounds were logged. Answer. That's right. Question. Redacted is aware of that at least two terminals located in the shoe. The only way to determine if a 30 minute round was physically completed is to check the video surveillance footage. Answer. That is correct. Question. There are two correctional officers assigned to the shoe on Morningwatch at midnight, shoe one, and shoe two. Shoe two is responsible for completing rounds. They're both technically responsible, correct? Answer. Right. Question. And so is shoe two, usually the officer in charge?

Answer. Right. So basically, what would have happened is they're supposed to, you know, because one has the key. So I do a round, I come back, then you do a round. Same thing when they do a count. Question. Now is it the same thing with counts and rounds like he gets cut off by the guard? No, no, I'm sorry, with the count. The investigator picks back up. So with a round, if rounds aren't being conducted, does that also mean that everybody in the unit is to blame? Answer. Yes. Because it in essence, after hours of lieutenant, should go up there and observe the count. Question. No, but what I'm saying is like if a round is signed off on by one person, but everybody in the unit, nobody in the unit did it. And not just the person who signed the round, but also everyone else is also responsible for the falsified round. Answer. Right. Question. Okay. Everybody, yeah, if don't matter, if you're on the roster and you're a sign that unit, the guard responds and the falsified document goes up and you said like me and you count,

I know we didn't count, but I sign that and you sign that. He gets cut off by the investigator. No, what I'm saying is what I'm saying is, if you sign it, I don't sign it, but we're both responsible. Answer. Right. No, you're going to be responsible because you didn't sign it. But if I said I didn't sign it, then I'm going to tell you why. I said, we didn't do the count. I'm going to put a memo on it. Question. So what I'm saying, that's going to be a big situation. I guess what I'm saying is like, all right. So in these count slips, specifically, there's two signatures, but there's four people working. Answer. Right. Question. So are the other two people that are working if they didn't report it? They're also responsible. Answer. Yes. All right, folks, we're on a wrap up right here and in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're going to pick up where we left off. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein

Chronicles. In this episode, we're getting right back to the unnamed CEO slash captain and his interview with the LIG investigators. Question. All right. Okay. Answer. And then on the morning, watch there's only two people in the unit. Question. Right. Answer. So they're both complicit. Answer. And I know I said bad count officer should come down. How often should I mean a lieutenant should come down? How often should lieutenants be observing the counts? And we're talking about in the shoe. Answer. Well, in the shoe in the shoe of lieutenant would have been monitoring what I believe that 10 South count question 10 South. What about like where Epstein was in regular shoe? Answer. Well, no, but we didn't implement that until after Epstein's incident. Question. All right. So up to August 10th, lieutenant, we're not observing counts. Answer. No. Question. They were simply taking the count in the control room. Answer. That is control. That is correct. Question. Okay. Redacted

was aware that the camera system in the shoe was down. He left early on Thursday. When the discussion about the camera system would have occurred, Mr. Redacted, what is Mr. Redacted's first name? Answer. I can't remember his first name. Question. Now is he like a CEO though or like he gets cut off by the guard? No, he would be. He's a contact employee. Question. Contact. But a B O P employee? Answer. Yeah. Question. The camera technician notified Redacted that he was working on the system earlier that week, but Redacted did not know specifics and was not informed that the cameras were not functioning. Since the, since you don't know or didn't know that any of the true cameras may have been out. Answer. No. Question. Okay. Since the and who would have been responsible was he the one responsible for that? Answer. Yeah. Question. So if he's notified that the cameras now out, how soon they're after should he get that up and running? Answer. No. If he was aware that the camera system was down

and was not working, he should have contacted me and then I immediately contact the AW and the warden because that's a security situation. Question. And in this instance, so in this instance, he didn't do that. Answer. No. Question. All right. And would anyone else have known that a shoe camera was down? Answer. I don't know. Question. No. Okay. Answer. I can't remember. I don't even. That's I don't remember. Question. Do you know if a camera in the shoe was ever down? Answer. Yeah. Question. Okay. What camera? Answer. I know that there were issues with the cameras because we had done a program review before then. And there was cameras down in 10 South. So we had got those fixed, you know, in the individual cells. And then there was a camera system that was down because I believe they was doing some type of maintenance on the ranges or something like that that everyone was aware of. That's all I can remember. Question. Okay. Answer. And I don't remember specifics and time frames. Question. All right. But you don't know specifically if like, for instance, the range

that Epstein was on that camera was out or not. Answer. That I don't know for sure. Question. You're not sure. Answer. Yeah. No. Question. Okay. But again, if it was, it would have been redacted. And what did you say the last name was redacted? Answer Christopher redacted. Question. And how do you spell the last name? Redacted. Question. Can you say that one more time? Answer redacted. Question. Perfect. The other investigator jumps in now. Just had a quick question. Who was that conversation about the discussion? You mentioned that there was a discussion. He gets cut off by the guard. Mr. Redacted. He gets cut off now by the other investigator. No. When you said that the discussion would have happened. Answer. Oh, question. Right. I think that's the date of ind discernible. Question. Well, no. It says Mr. Redacted. The camera technician notified

Redacted that he was working on the system earlier the week. He's saying that he left early on Thursday when the discussion about the camera system would have occurred. Answer. Would have. So he should have known. Question. If there was a conversation. But you don't know that there was answer. No. Because like in closeout or if there was something with the warden that day normally on Thursdays at times, you know, it was for my I have a disease. So I would go for blood work on Thursdays when I could if an institution emergency, you know, but normally on Thursday, I would leave early on Thursday. I would take a half a day to go to my medical appointments. So if there was a meeting that was convened about the camera systems, I wasn't present at that meeting. However, I know that a camera project was going on during that time, which Mr. Redacted was responsible for installing the new. I don't know what I can't remember what you call it, but it's a system because our system was an antique. So they was doing camera repairs. There was certain cameras down in certain areas of the institution, but he was actively working on that.

Question. So if there was a meeting that you were not aware of on Thursday, who would have been present for it? Answer for a meeting with the warden. Question. It would have been with the warden. Answer. Yeah. It would have been, I mean, the warden would have known if someone had a meeting about the camera system being down and then probably the facilities manager, which is redacted. It would have been the AW of custody at that time, which would have been misredacted. And of course, it would have been the warden. Question. Didn't you say it was actually somebody else redacted was no longer the custody? Answer. Misredacted. Misredacted was there, but she had just got there. She was over another discipline. So that would have been the meeting with the executive staff. Question. Okay. So was the executive staff meeting with that meeting also have taken place if the cameras are still down on Friday, would have taken place on Friday as well? Answer. That would have been Friday as well. Question. But you weren't involved with a meeting like that. Answer No. Question. And you don't know of a meeting taking place. Answer. No. Question. Okay. Would it

have just taken place every day that the camera was down or just the first day? Answer. There would have been an update because of the person that falls under that the contact is redacted. So the AW over facilities would have wanted an update, weekly report as well as the captain. Because that's a security issue. So we would have wanted, but the camera system was down because I think it was down for some routine maintenance that they was doing anyway. Question. Now would any lieutenant or shoe staff have known that the camera was down? Answer. Some I mean they don't have the ability to monitor, but you know, of course the ones in 10 South, you know, he gets cut off by the guard. Yeah. They were live monitoring. Answer. Yeah. The live monitoring. So of course, question. And do you know? And you don't know, though, even to this date, if a camera was in fact down, answer. I can't remember. Question. In fact, answer. I don't know. Question. Okay. That's fine.

I was just going to ask, even if it wasn't recording, do you know if it was like being a live monitor or anything like that? Or it could have been? Answer. I'm unaware. Question. Okay. Okay. So after receiving a phone call from redacted on the morning of Saturday, August 10th, 2019, redacted notified associate warden redacted who informed the warden redacted also attempted to call institution duty officer, Nathaniel redacted to chaplain and in the building to get more information. What does that mean by the building? Do you know? Answer. So basically, you know, it was just it was just a bunch of, you know, people that we tried to notify. I tried to notify. So I think I notified misredacted. Of course, she notifies the warden. I notified the IDO. I said, hey, because in May death, they needed me coming into the institution because that's one of their off times. So they needed to be making a because they're going to be responsible for making certain calls to the region. I notified the chaplain because chaplain made sure ind discernible also. I believe

I informed them to call redacted phonetic, which was executive assistant. I think redacted or I may have called Mr. Johnson the attorney for MCC. I'm trying to think who else question. No, that's fine. And it says that he went to the MCC arriving before 8am approximately upon arrival of redacted screened in and retrieved his gear from the third floor. He went to the shoe and signed the logbook. He gathered any records pertaining to Epstein, including the 30-minute round logbook, the attorney conference logbook, count slips, and he ones. What are he ones? Answer, so all this stuff right here. So you basically I walk through the building. I know the protocol because what happens is these things will come up missing. Then you have no evidence. So I secured the ones I went to the shoe. I got all the logbooks that I knew where Epstein had been. I grabbed those logbooks. I went to the shoe. I took his inmate shoe file from the special housing plus

all the round sheets ind discernible. Question, this actually says he could not locate in Epstein's inmate file. Do you remember that? Answer, it was a file, but it had limited stuff in there. Question, answer, so it was actual file. Yeah, had his picture, had a couple things on there, but it wasn't anything in it. Question, so when it says not locate a file, you located the file. It was just answer, it was empty. Question, it was empty, and is that abnormal? Answer, no, it's not abnormal. Question, oh, it's not normal. Answer, it's normal, no. Question, and do you think that somebody removed things from it? Answer, no, I'm not going to make that accusation. I don't know. I would just say that that's not a normal instance that's being working as a former OIC being a correctional officer and all of that stuff. That's not normal. Question, what stuff's usually in there? Answer, I can tell you, it would be all of his the inmate screening stuff that we do on the inmates, the expectation, sell assignment, things that the inmate supposed to sign, the clothing issue forms,

it would be 292s in there, it would be the SRO, it would also be the psychology, where psychology comes down to see these guys. That note should have been placed in there. Question, and none of that was in there? Answer, none of that was in there. Question, and where's that file located? Answer, it's supposed to be located in the OIC. Question, and when you say the OIC, is that the shoe? Where the OIC sits? Answer, yeah. Question, and so anyone could have had access to that? Answer, yes. Question, and had you ever seen that file before that time? Answer, no. Question, did you ever locate it after that time? Answer, no. Question, so it's likely that someone took documents out? If they should have been there and they're not there, is that answer correct? Question, so someone likely, I'm not saying who did it, but someone likely did it? Answer, in my belief, yes. Those documents were purposefully taken. Question, and can you think of a reason why they would have been taken? Answer,

I don't know, sir. Question, all right, but you had never seen them before. Answer, no, sir. That was, that wouldn't be my purview to go through to audit those files. Question, who would be the person to ask about that? Answer, that would have been the lieutenant. Question, so lieutenant redacted? Answer, lieutenant redacted, or the lieutenant? He would have been the one that audited those files. Question, okay, answer because they do SROs. Question, and did you ask them where the file was? Answer, of course, I called them. Question, and what did he say? Answer, he didn't know. He had no knowledge. Question, all right, so he claimed he didn't know anything about it. Did he ever say he looked at the files before? Answer, no. I don't remember him saying that, but when I called them that Saturday, because I had conversations with Lieutenant redacted on that Saturday and that Sunday, because he was supposed to come to work on that Sunday.

So once he found out about the situation with Epstein, because I had called them, and I said, hey, man, where is this inmate file? What are you talking about? I said, issue file is not up there. XYZ, so I informed them of what happened. Sunday, I get the call that he broke his leg, and then Lieutenant redacted was out for like six months. Question, and did he really break his leg? Answer, I wouldn't know. Question, is there any reason to believe or had you heard that he actually, he gets cut off by the guard? Again, he was supposed to be in that training. Like I said, what would you call it when you go for reserve training? You do it every month? Question, yeah, he's in the military, right? Because of his military training, so he tells me that they're doing the PT the next day, which was Sunday, he broke his leg. Question, did he ever provide any kind of proof of an injured leg? Answer, he did provide something, but it was from a doctor. I mean, and that was sent through, he provided documentation. I can't, I don't, I'm not a doctor,

so I can't tell you what it is. And I'm not going to call the doctor to verify if that was the situation, but basically it said that he had a substantial leg injury that prevented him from coming to work. Question, so have you had any conversations with him since? Answer, oh, he came back. So then, so redacted went out in August and September, October, November, December, I think he came back either December or January of 2019. So he came back and he went up to the shoe as OIC. Question, and ever any conversations about this matter? Answer, I had discussed it with him on the phone twice. Question, and tell me about those discussions. Answer, those discussions, so basically I asked him about the inmate file. I had talked to him about it, that Sunday, he alerted me that he was injured. When he came back, we had discussions that the staff, when he told me, and redacted where I go I would, say out of all the lieutenants, me and redacted, we spoke a lot. I thought very highly of him. And he would talk, and he was saying that he was

having difficulties with the staff and his other peers, because he, you know, the appearance was that he faked the injury. And not to be part of what everybody else was going through during that Epstein situation. So he was getting it from the lieutenants, he was also getting it from the line staff. Alright folks, we're going to wrap up right here, and in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're going to pick up where we left off. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. The facility where Galen Maxwell is looking at spending the next 20 years is an absolute dumb. Now I know people out there were under the impression that the facility that Maxwell was in was some kind of club fed or something like that. But the reality is, every single one of these facilities is an absolute dumb. And remember, during the release of the OIG report for Jeffrey Epstein's death and how they blame the whole entire Bureau of Prisons, all the issues that the

prison system has this at the other thing? Well, none of that was fixed. They didn't address any of that, so if you're not going to fix the things that were pointed out in the report, what's the point of putting out the report? Oh, that's right. Just to satisfy all of you out there, who kept asking questions? But is anything ever going to be done? Of course not. And you would think that if there were all of these glaring issues that they found with Jeffrey Epstein's death while he was in custody, that they would have addressed some of them, right? Well, they haven't. And now we have a new report out from the federal Bureau of Prisons talking about just how disgusting the facility where Maxwell's locked up truly is. So let's get to this article from the Daily Mail and let's see what's going on. Headline exclusive Bureau of Prisons report reveals disgusting conditions inside FCI Tallahassee where Golan Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence, breaking news folks, Jell isn't fun. Jell's not a vacation. You're not there at the sandals all-inclusive down in the

Bahamas, but that being said, the living conditions at the facility have to be up to snuff. You can't be out here letting there be infestations of bugs in the rest of it. Especially considering the Bureau of Prisons has a bigger budget than anybody besides the military, so with all of that money, they can't train people properly, they can't get this stuff fixed. I call BS. My guess is that there's a whole lot of money being wasted and probably a whole lot of pilfering going on as well. So why don't we audit the Bureau of Prisons? Let's put those 87,000 new IRS workers to work. Today's article was authored by Ben Ashford. The low security Florida lockup where sex trafficker Golan Maxwell is serving her 20-year sentence for pimping girls for Jeffrey Epstein might not be quite so cushy after all. Huh, who told you folks that from the very beginning? There is no such thing as club fed. Go ahead and go and spend some time in one of these facilities and then tell me you had a

great time doing it. Prison inspectors uncovered rotting food, rodent infestations, and wall smeared with filth during an unannounced visit to FCI Tallahassee in May, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. The ceilings and windows of all five housing units were found to be in such dire need of repair that inmates had resorted to using feminine hygiene products to plug leagues. Now as much as I don't like Golan Maxwell, as much as I think jail should be punishment, this is unacceptable. The basic needs of people must be met and the facilities that they're living in, they can't be third world hellholes, they have to be up to snuff, especially considering the bloated as budget that the BOP is working with. They need to manage their money better, get somebody who knows how to manage their money better and use that money to help fix these facilities because where is all this money going? They say they have a shortage of staff, they can't hire guards, this that the other

thing? Well, maybe that's because fast food places are paying 20 bucks an hour now. If you want somebody to go and be a prison guard and go to prison every day, willfully, you should probably pay them a couple more bucks, no? You know the old saying, you get what you pay for. Officials from the DOJ's office of the Inspector General also blasted bosses for failing to stem the flow of contraband including cigarettes, vapes, opioids and the synthetic cannabis substitutes K2 and spice. Yo, I truly have no idea why anybody would smoke that garbage. That shit is straight up garbage. You have no idea what's in that. Some knuckleheads put together some kind of compound or whatever and then shipping that shit from God knows where to these smoke shops, these gas stations, whatever and then people are buying this garbage thinking it's gonna affect them like marijuana wood but it doesn't and the packaging itself even tells you

not for human consumption. You might as well go and smoke some Pope Paris. And furthermore, if we can't win the war on drugs inside of a federal prison, please explain to me how we're going to win the war on drugs overall because we can't even keep this stuff out of prison but remember your favorite politicians, they're all gonna keep you and your family safe by making sure none of this poison even gets into the country. Does that sound like a reality to you or does that sound more like it's election season and these MFers are looking for votes because anybody who's talking about they can win the war on drugs using prohibitionist tactics they're lying to you and if you want proof just look at the infestation of drugs inside of our prisons. You have whole ass economies happening behind bars, criminal groups making literally millions of dollars from their jail cells selling drugs. But these dudes are gonna be out here yippening yappin about how they're gonna make your neighborhood safe. Okay sure, I believe you.

Their grim findings are detailed in a scathing report that rates the beleaguered federal facility housing 846 women and 294 men in a small satellite facility as high risk. On a rare positive the inspectors said they did not see any evidence of widespread sexual abuse in the 1930s built prison where Maxwell 61 has been locked up for more than a year. Well that's good at least there's none of that going on or at least none that they could uncover because we all know how prevalent that shit is in prison. But they panstaff for using insulting and derogatory harms, misgendering trans inmates, and not having enough cameras and manpower to deter violence, self harm and drug use. The report comes as something of a vindication for Maxwell who has also filed so many grievances behind bars that fellow felons dubbed her the prison Karen. No it doesn't. It shows an overall lack of care by the prison system but it's not directed at Maxwell. It's not like Maxwell is

the only one living in these conditions. The whole entire system's broken. This is what I've been saying for how many years now on this podcast. Everybody talking about oh the fun the police this that the other thing they're all missing the boat. You want to fix it you want the justice system fixed start with the Bureau of Prisons. We got to get this shit right folks. You can tell a lot about a society about how they treat their prisoners and these facilities while they should not be fun they should be livable. The conditions inside of them shouldn't be deplorable. Her numerous gripes about the poor quality of the food thread bear betting and the lack of time the access to medical care chime with much of the 49 page misive. We observed moldy bread being served as well as discolored and rotting vegetables in a food preparation refrigerator at the female prison. In the food storage warehouse we found likely evidence of rodent droppings as well as bags of cereal within sex in them and warped food containers the report notes. It goes on to say

we also found that female housing unit roofs routinely leaked and that all five general population housing unit roofs needed to be replaced. Many female inmates live in housing units in which water frequently leaks from the ceilings and windows on or nearer their living spaces. We observed housing areas in which feminine hygiene products were being used to absorb water from leaking windows an electrical outlet that appeared to have fire damage a sink that was detached from the wall and the black substance on walls and ceilings. Additionally we observed warn betting rusted inmate storage lockers and unlocks supply closets. So in other words an absolute chit-chow just like we all knew. So how many of these OIG reports do we have to see that are absolutely panning the Bureau of Prisons before something is done. The inspectors noted that 38% of the jobs in the health unit at FC Italihasi were unfilled which meant staff were slow to dull out drugs such

as insulin. Bosses were also ripped for not having enough security cameras and for failing to search inmates who went outside to do landscaping work close to the sprawling jails perimeter fence. The outer perimeter is enclosed behind a short single fence large portions of which are easily accessible to the public from a municipal park. From such a location individuals could easily throw contraband on the prison property for inmates to collect and bring back into the institution the report notes so they know all of this can happen and they don't care. My guess is a lot of the prison guards or at least some of them I should say maybe not a lot that's going a little far but some of the guards are on the take and later on today we're going to talk about a story that has to do with the DEA and agents on the take there so if you think corruption is something that doesn't happen here in America think again it does and there's a lot of that going on inside of the prison system a lot of these guards getting real rich folks selling drugs

bringing in contraband and all the rest of it. FC Italihasi staff told us that these inmates are routinely searched when they re-enter the institution affording them an opportunity to introduce including drugs and nuisance contraband such as cigarettes and vape devices into the female prison. Inspectors did not find evidence of an endemic sexual abuse problem in the aging sunshine state lockup but a review of reporting data from the previous 12 months found that allegations against five other FC I Tala Hasse staff members were ongoing and allegations against other staff members who no longer works at the institution had been sustained following investigation. The federal Bureau of Prisons responded to the OIG report by taking several steps to enhance operations according to a memo oh yeah I'm sure everything's going to be rosy now I'm sure they took all the steps to fix all the issues that were at these facilities look if Epstein's death while

in the custody of the federal prison system didn't spur change nothing is going to. FBOP recognizes the importance of improving its physical infrastructure, increasing staffing and improving safety and security. FBOP has incorporated each of these issues into its new strategic framework and has previously provided OIG with information about actions that it is taking to address each area it said the shocking report comes after DailyML.com revealed that Maxwell has lodged 400 plus petty complaints during her stint and custody all of that has to do with her appeal the issue at hand here is how the whole facility is being run not how Maxwell is being treated. The sex trafficker has slated the lackluster vegan menu options, demanded jail authorities give her access to hair dye and even complained about a transgender inmate having noisy sex in the bunk above. Maxwell also bagged plush hypoallergenic bedding after grumbling to staff at the standard

issue prison pillows were triggering her allergies yeah maybe give her some silk sheets too while we're at it. Her moaning dates back to July 2020 when she was locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn New York while awaiting federal trial for grooming minors. There her lawyers accused prison authorities of breaching her rights by shining a torch on her cell every 15 minutes subjecting her to invasive searches and filming her at all hours which is all standard procedure. You see Maxwell wants you to think that she's getting arbitrarily punished that's not the case she's being treated like every other inmate in the facility now if you want to have the conversation about the facility itself about the Bureau of Prisons I'm on board with it but the act like Maxwell is being you know arbitrarily punished that's crazy. The daughter of disgraced UK newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell was sentenced to two decades behind bars in June last year and was due

to serve her time in Connecticut's FCI Danbury before being unexpectedly shipped 1,000 miles south that's not true either she asked to be at Danbury you don't get to choose where you're going there's a board that gets together and they decide where you're going to go so the talk was Maxwell wanted to go to Danbury well she didn't get what she wanted controversy ensued when she used the prison's video system to give an interview to UK broadcaster Jeremy Kyle in which she claimed without evidence that the now notorious photograph of Prince Andrew with Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts was fake remember that nonsense this lady she just can't get enough of abusing Virginia huh year after year decade after decade this vial ask of FUZA she just can't help herself and you know it's so funny about it every time she starts in with her BS it just exposes her further for the bipedal serpent that she is DailyMail.com revealed how the chat earned

Maxwell 48 hours in the special housing unit a prison within a prison comprising tiny grim cells where inmates are caged for 23 hours at a time and fed through slits in the door that's called the whole and that's where you end up when you think that you're above the rules angle and Maxwell as we all know certainly thinks she is above all rules Maxwell federal prisoner 02879-509 will be nearly 80 by the time she's freed unless she can successfully appeal her convictions for helping ex-lover Epstein who hanged himself allegedly behind bars in 2019 instead of facing trial federal prosecutors insists that Maxwell's convictions for grooming girls as young as 14 should stand and deny claims that she was used as a proxy to satisfy public outrage over Epstein's crimes anybody who thinks that is an absolute moron this lady was hip deep in everything Epstein was up to and if you think that

Galen Maxwell of all people was somebody that was caught up in the mailstrom and just got caught up as collateral damage you are absolutely 1000% wrong this lady has earned every bit of this and the only regret I have is that her sentence wasn't for much longer all of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box bargo
