'Correctional Officers Charged With Falsifying Records On August 9th And 10th At The Metropolitan Correctional Center'

"Defendants Allegedly Created Records Falsely Attesting to Required Checks of Inmates the Defendants Never Did in the Special Housing Unit on the Night Inmate Jeffrey Epstein Committed Suicide."

Instead, they repeatedly failed to conduct mandated checks on inmates, and lied on official forms to hide their dereliction.' "
