Background
Charisma Edge (also referenced as Charisma Edge Lamine) was a Bureau of Prisons (BOP) official who served in multiple administrative capacities during and after Jeffrey Epstein's federal detention. She held the position of Associate Warden (Operations) at FCI Estill, where Epstein was initially processed, and subsequently served as Associate Warden at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York, where Epstein was held prior to his death on August 10, 2019. Documents also reference her as 'Warden Secretary' at MCC New York in later communications from late 2019 and early 2020.
Edge was a key administrative figure in the chain of communication regarding Epstein's custody status, psychological assessments, and post-death institutional response. She regularly communicated with Lamine N'Diaye, Lee Plourde, Shirley V. Skipper-Scott, and other BOP officials about Epstein's legal proceedings, mental health status, and facility operations. Her role placed her at the nexus of information flow between line staff, psychology personnel, legal counsel, and BOP leadership throughout the Epstein detention and the subsequent investigation into his death.
Edge is mentioned in over 100 documents in the case files, primarily internal BOP and DOJ emails and investigative memoranda. She appears not as a subject of criminal investigation herself, but as a BOP administrator involved in oversight, reporting, and coordination related to Epstein's incarceration and death.
