NYC federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself to close
NEW YORK — The dysfunctional federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself in 2019 will be closed “at least temporarily,” the Justice Department said Thursday.
The Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan could be shut down as soon as the coming month, sources say.
“In an effort to address the issues at MCC NY as quickly and efficiently as possible, the Department has decided to close the MCC, at least temporarily, until those issues have been resolved. Planning for the deactivation is under way, and we will have more updates as that process continues,” a DOJ spokeswoman said in a statement.
Sources were skeptical the jail would ever resume operations resembling previous years, when the jail held 700 or more inmates.
