Background
The Unit Manager was a supervisory staff member at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York, a federal detention facility operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). The Unit Manager held responsibilities within the Special Housing Unit (SHU), where high-profile inmates including Jeffrey Epstein were held. The position involved oversight of case managers, unit secretaries, and other unit team staff, and included participation in executive staff meetings alongside Associate Wardens, the Captain, the SHU Lieutenant, and psychology staff. The individual's identity is redacted in government documents under privacy exemptions (b)(6) and (b)(7)(C).
The Unit Manager became a subject of the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) investigation (Case #2019-010614) into the BOP's custody, care, and supervision of Jeffrey Epstein at MCC New York. The investigation identified the Unit Manager as a key individual who failed to follow established BOP procedures, particularly regarding telephone monitoring and cell searches. The Unit Manager also handled administrative duties related to Epstein's detention file, including his Notice of Separation and disciplinary proceedings.
A separate Unit Manager position at Brooklyn MDC is also referenced in the documents, with contact and personnel details recorded in a staff directory, though this appears to be a different individual at a different facility.
