They're here. What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick right back up where we left off with the unnamed captain from the MCC and his interview with the OIG inspectors. Question. Alright, so 4pm through, he gets cut off by the captain, the control center, R D. It's bad. Question. Okay, just a clarifying question. Can a person do account? Let's just say they know someone is in a different unit. Can they say, oh, I know the person is out of the unit and I'm going to count them as part of my unit and just give the count number. Are they allowed to do that? Do they have to physically have to get eyes on them? Answer. So it's only who? The amount of inmates that are in their unit at that time. Answer. Correct Question. Okay, answer. That's it. Question. All right, let's keep going on this. Thank you for that. That's hugely helpful. So inmate cellmates are moved for various reasons, including but not limited to an incident in the cell. Visits to court, Legal, library, medical and recreation. On Friday, Aug. 9, 2019, Epstein's cellmate Reyes had court. It would not be uncommon for Reyes to be out of his cell for an extended period. Epstein had an attorney session that day. Epstein's attorney was processed into the facility in the morning and Epstein was brought down to the attorney's room. And you said that was pretty much seven days a week with Epstein redacted? Was not notified that Reyes was released from the court. And again on that note, would have been the ops lieutenant that would have been responsible to tell you. Answer yes. Question. If someone heard gets cut off by the captain, if you would recall, he should have because he knows he knew the expectation. Answer Right. Question. Okay. Typically if an inmate is likely to be discharged or transferred following court, their property was retrieved from their cell, boxed and secured with a property form by receiving and discharged staff. All items are normally accounted for and are inventoried. In order to enter the shoe, all staff not assigned there must identify themselves and sign a logbook and then be physically escorted by a correctional officer. Alternatively, the staff can pick up inmates property at the unit door. A correctional officer assigned to the shoe would have been aware that Reyes or any inmate belongings were removed at this time. The correctional officer should notify a lieutenant who would in turn brief. Redacted. Redacted. Was not notified that Reyes belongings were removed. Redacted. Advised that if he had known that Epstein was without a cellmate, he would have likely put Epstein on psychological observation. But now you're saying you probably would have put him off. He gets cut off by the captain. I would have not put him on psych ops because I can. Question. Right, you would have put him in fox. Answer I would have probably put him. If he was already. I would have known between Those hours of 1:50 to 4, I would say keep them in the attorney conference because guess what, I've got a staff member right there and where he was, there's a room there. So we normally keep them in these first two rooms so you could see them. So I would just say, hey, just have somebody stay there. And I would have hired somebody. I would have hired anybody. I'll pay you overtime to sit on this guy until I got him. I would have kept him in the attorney conference right there until I got him a cellmate. I wouldn't have had him put on psych. You're not. That's not. I apologize. I can't do that. Question. All right, so this line where you said you would have likely put him. That's not correct. Answer No, I wouldn't have done that. Question. Okay, answer. That's because like I said my earlier statement, it would have been after the hours of operation, let's say everybody at 8 when he went back to the cell in the shoe. And because I was still there, I would have said no, put him in R D because I got R D staff there until 10. I would have called the AW. I would have called the warden and unfortunately we would have the somebody would have had to come in and we would have had to been there later than vetting a cellmate for him. Question Right. And it says redacted Is not aware of any lieutenants knowing that Reyes property was moved. Answer we didn't know. Question okay, well that you know of. Redacted. May have. Answer he may have. Question but he didn't tell you. Answer of course he didn't tell me. Question on Saturday, August 10, 2019, redacted. Received a phone call from Lt. Redacted around 7:00am Answer no, that's not accurate. I received the phone call from Lieutenant redacted. I believed it was between the hours approximately 6:35. Between 6:35 and 6:45. 6:50 somewhere in there. Question and was told that Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell. But it was redacted. Who called you? Yeah, it was okay. Redacted. Inquired about Epstein's cellmate and was surprised to hear redacted respond that Epstein did not have a cellmate. Answer that's correct. Question so you immediately said where is 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 shift on August 9, 2019. And you're saying that's not right? No, he would have worked 2 to 10. Question and did he work on August 9? 2 to 10, August 9 gets cut off right here. Answer I thought we said August 9th. He didn't work. He wasn't there. August 9th. He wasn't there. Question all right, so from 4pm to 10pm who was there? Redacted. Answer yeah, but like this thing like when redacted. So saying he's non custody because you can see these rosters, he gets cut off. So was redacted the two and the activities lieutenant was redacted. Correct. Answer Let me see. Can I school you on something? Question Absolutely. Please. Question Let me just school you on something. These rosters, you see when you printed this roster, you printed this roster here that says 62 21. That's this year. I can guarantee you that 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 yeah, somebody went in there and changed it. Question but does that mean that this is inaccurate or the other was 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 tent prompted him off till 11. I 10 prompted him till 11. Question can you circle that? Answer because he couldn't have been in the institution by himself. Question so you think that he went in there and put it in that discernible Answer I'm not going to say that question but that's not what it normally would say. Answer no, because the non custody unit, 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 2019 going into 2020 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 the time of the change. So let's go here. Time change activities, lieutenant redacted. That was done on 89. Redacted. You've got to find who redacted was. Question but 09 that was prior to the incident. Answer the ops lieutenant it was redacted. So redacted took sick leave on that day. Question so redacted was sick leave changed him on the roster. Oh, on August 9th at 8:58am on Friday, August 9th. Redacted was relieving an officer on August 9th. But as you see, where you see
