A newly released cache of surveillance videos from New York City’s Metropolitan Correctional Center is raising fresh questions about the cameras in the facility where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019.

The footage, part of the DOJ’s disclosure under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, includes over 400 one-hour clips spanning back more than a month before Epstein’s death, despite the system being set to retain only 30 days of recordings.

Most of the prison’s cameras were reportedly malfunctioning at the time, and the new videos include footage from a camera previously described as non-recording, though these clips are dated after Epstein’s death.

Experts say the videos highlight inconsistencies in the official narrative and reveal missed investigative opportunities, such as gaps from key events like Epstein’s collapse in July 2019, CBS News has reported.

Questions remain about which cameras were actually recording on the night of Epstein’s death and why some footage from critical moments appears lost or unrecoverable.
