When Epstein was placed in the special housing unit, the jail informed the Justice Department that he would have a cellmate, and that a guard would look into the cell every 30 minutes. These procedures were not followed on the night of his death.[292][287][293] On August 9, 2019, Epstein's cellmate was transferred out, but no one took his place.[294] Later in the evening, contrary to the jail's normal procedure, Epstein was not checked every 30 minutes.[292][287][293] The two guards who were assigned to check his jail unit that night fell asleep and did not check on him for about three hours; the guards falsified related records.[287][295] Two cameras in front of Epstein's cell also malfunctioned that night.[16]
