Two BOP workers admit crimes on morning of Epstein’s death

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Two Bureau of Prisons guards admitted falsifying records Tuesday after financier Jeffrey Epstein’s jail death in a deferred prosecution deal that will spare them a criminal record if they fully cooperate with investigators. The death, a major embarrassment to the Bureau of Prisons, touched off intense scrutiny of operations at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a federal jail adjacent to two large federal courthouses in lower Manhattan. In court papers, prosecutors said Noel and Thomas were at their desks just 15 feet from Epstein’s cell as they shopped online for furniture and motorcycles and failed to make required rounds every 30 minutes. Sen. Ben Sasse, a Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a vocal critic of the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein’s case, called it “unacceptable” and said 100 hours of community service required of Noel and Thomas was treating what they did like a traffic offense.
