MCC cellmate with Epstein in SHU before first suicide attempt
Nicholas Tartaglione, a former New York police officer, was Epstein’s cellmate at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in July–August 2019. Tartaglione was not charged in connection with Epstein’s death or the July 2019 incident in which Epstein was found injured in the cell; internal investigations cleared him of any wrongdoing. However, in a separate federal case, Tartaglione was convicted in April 2023 on 11 counts of murder, four counts of kidnapping resulting in death, one count of kidnapping conspiracy, and one count of narcotics conspiracy related to the 2016 kidnappings and killings of four men. In June 2024 he was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences for those offenses. While prison‑related accounts and pardon applications present him as possessing potentially damaging information about prison conditions around Epstein’s death, he is not legally accountable in the Epstein case itself but is a separate, unrelated murder defendant.
