Soon, however, he was allowed to leave the compound six days a week, 12 hours a day, for what was termed work release.

Said Judge Pucillo: “The taxpayers of Palm Beach County are going to pay 18 months to house this guy instead of DOC [the Department of Corrections]?” Belohlavek: “Right.” Pucillo did not respond to a request for comment on the case. Villafafia, the lead federal prosecutor in Epstein’s case, was in the courtroom, but there’s no indication she objected to Epstein’s cozier jail accommodations. When he entered jail in July 2008, Epstein was arguably the most well-known inmate there.

The Herald reviewed their time sheets, showing that the deputies logged visitors coming and going to and from his office throughout the day. A recor
