Corrections officers working at jail where Jeffrey Epstein was being held when he died strike deal, will cooperate with IG review

The corrections officers who were at the Metropolitan Correctional Center when Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide have entered in to agreements with Manhattan prosecutors and will cooperate with an ongoing Department of Justice Inspector General review.

In November 2019, the guards, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, had pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and filing false records in connection with their actions the night Jeffrey Epstein died in prison. They will now provide "truthful information related to their employment by the Bureau of Prisons, including about the events and circumstances described in the Indictment," according to a letter from federal prosecutors that was filed in court papers Friday. The guards will also complete 100 hours of community service.
