Two prison guards of the federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein allegedly committed suicide repeatedly falsified official logs to show they made cell checks they never did
In addition, Noel signed more than 75 separate entries saying she and Thomas performed required half-hourly “rounds” for each tier of the SHU between midnight and 6:30 A.M., even though they were not done, the indictment says.
Noel and Thomas face up to 30 years in prison if convicted on all counts. Federal defendants are typically sentenced in accordance with sentencing guidelines that usually call for sentences far short of the maximum, particularly for first-time offenders. The indictment also details that both Noel and Thomas were on overtime shifts. Noel worked a double shift that night from 4 P.M. to 8 A.M. Thomas had not worked the day before Epstein’s body was found, but the indictment says his shift from midnight to 8 A.M. on the morning Epstein was discovered dead was overtime.
The deal prompted a lawsuit against the federal government by some of Epstein’s alleged victims, who claimed they were illegally shut out of the process. In February, a federal judge ruled that prosecutors violated the rights of the women involved by intentionally deceiving them about the status of the case. That ruling, and new press reports about the deal, put heavy pressure on Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who was the top federal prosecutor in south Florida at the time.
“We have a few, sir,” said Hawk Sawyer. “We have found a couple of other instances. And we have immediately referred those to the inspector general’s office.” “In our jail facilities in the last year, we’ve had two,” she said. “And, unfortunately, one of those was an extraordinarily high-profile case. And it makes everyone paint the Bureau of Prisons with that broad brush of incompetence across our system.”
