Warden temporarily reassigned, two staffers placed on administrative leave as Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide leads to shake up at New York jail.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr has ordered immediate changes in leadership at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York following Jeffrey Epstein's death.
Kupec said James Petrucci, the warden at the Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville, New York, will become acting warder at MCC, replacing Shirley Skipper-Scott. The order comes one day after Barr raised alarm about"serious irregularities" at the MCC prison and decried the facility's"failure" in being able to secure Epstein.
Officials also tell ABC News that part of the investigation into his death centers around why Epstein was not assigned a new cellmate after his previous cellmate was transferred out in the hours before Epstein took his own life.
