The federal Bureau of Prisons plans to transfer the warden in charge of the jail where Jeffrey Epstein died to another correctional facility, despite an ongoing investigation into the financier’s death.
The warden in charge when Jeffrey Epstein died in his jail cell is being moved to a leadership position at another federal correctional facility, putting him back in the field with inmates despite an ongoing investigation into the financier’s death, two people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press.
The federal Bureau of Prisons is planning to move Lamine N’Diaye to the role at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix, a low-security prison in Burlington County, New Jersey, the people said. The move comes months after Atty. Gen. William Barr ordered N’Diaye be reassigned to a desk post at the Bureau of Prisons’ regional office in Pennsylvania after Epstein’s death as the FBI and the Justice Department’s inspector general investigated.
One of the people said the agency planned to move N’Diaye into the new role Feb. 2. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity to discuss an internal personnel matter. It was unclear why the agency was planning to return N’Diaye to a position supervising inmates and staff members, even though multiple investigations into Epstein’s death remain active. The inspector general’s investigation is continuing, and the Justice Department is still probing the circumstances that led to Epstein’s death, including why he wasn’t given a cellmate.
Epstein’s death cast a spotlight on the Bureau of Prisons and highlighted a series of safety lapses inside a high-security unit of one of the most secure jails in the U.S. Barr said Epstein’s ability to take his own life in federal custody had raised “serious questions that must be answered.
