Employees at Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cite mandatory overtime, 18-hour days

CNN  

CNN — The suicide of Jeffrey Epstein is bringing attention to what employees say is a broader problem at short-staffed budget-constrained federal prisons where employees who aren’t prison guards are doing guard duty and overtime shifts regularly. It’s due to not having enough correctional officers,” Serene Gregg, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3148, which represents employees at the MCC. Push to put Epstein in general population Epstein’s attorneys, who spent as many as 12 hours a day meeting with him, had pushed the prison to move Epstein into the facility’s general population, a person briefed on the matter said. The decision to move him from suicide watch occurred after the prison staff conducted daily psychological assessments and, according to the person briefed on the matter, determined it was safe for him to be returned to the prison’s special housing unit, which is a section more restricted than general population.
