Jeffrey Epstein Joins 'El Chapo' in Notorious Jail as Inmate 76318-054

(Bloomberg) -- Bernie Madoff did time there. So did John Gotti Jr. Paul Manafort is currently in residence. Jeffrey Epstein -- inmate 76318-054 -- just moved in.

The hulking Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan is several miles and worlds away from the mansion near Central Park that Epstein may have been planning to head for when he was arrested by the FBI after touching down at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on July 6. Among his new neighbors is the Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who has been holed up in the federal jail’s notorious 10 South wing for more than two years.

One of Guzman’s lawyers, Jeffrey Lichtman, said he was astonished to see Epstein two days after his arrest wearing a jail-issued uniform in a holding cell next to a conference room on 10 South where lawyer meetings typically occur.

“There he was, sitting there, all alone,” Litchtman said. “This unit is completely isolating.” If Epstein is there full-time right now, “he won’t have any contact with others.”

1. "While the jail has a reputation for being secure, it has been plagued by allegations of corruption"

While the jail has a reputation for being secure, it has been plagued by allegations of corruption: Two guards pleaded guilty in the past year to accepting bribes to smuggle in cell phones and alcohol.

During the trial of a Turkish banker in 2017 on charges of aiding Iranian sanctions evasion, the government’s star witness, Reza Zarrab, admitted he received contraband and testified that he was threatened with a knife by a fellow inmate who wanted to kill him for cooperating with the U.S. In 2016, a guard was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to raping a female inmate in a hallway while she was mopping the floor.

The conditions are a far cry from the last time Epstein was incarcerated. After pleading guilty in Florida to state felony prostitution charges in 2008, he was sentenced to serve 18 months in the Palm Beach County jail. During that time, he was permitted to hire his own security detail and even then didn’t spend much time locked up: According to the Miami Herald, he was allowed to work at his West Palm Beach office for as many as 12 hours a day for up to six days a week.

2. They don't house sex offenders

In general population, they might get beaten to death. That would be sad...not.

3. See if he can go on work release to his plush office from there.

See if he can hire his own security detail.

Not likely.
