DOJ plans to 'at least temporarily' close federal facility in NYC where Epstein died
CNN
The federal detention center in New York that is notoriously known as the place where Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell is in the process of being temporarily closed, according to a Justice Department spokesperson.
The Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan drew criticism for its management after Epstein was found dead there in 2019, shortly after his arrest on charges that he operated a sex trafficking ring in which he allegedly sexually abused dozens of underage girls. The facility has also been occupied by other high-profile people, including Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who was housed there before and during his federal trial.More Related News
