Appears in Epstein court documents in the context of Bureau of Prisons correspondence. Bradley T. Gross forwarded an email chain to Hugh Hurwitz, who served as acting director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons until his removal in August 2019 following the death of Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.
Hurwitz was reassigned by Attorney General William Barr in the aftermath of Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, amid mounting evidence of failures in custody and supervision. Gross's role as sender and forwarder of the email chain suggests involvement in federal prison administration or legal communications connected to Epstein's incarceration.
