What was the Palm Beach County Stockade where Epstein was held?

The Palm Beach County Stockade is a county-run detention facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. Epstein served the majority of his 13-month sentence there rather than in a federal or state prisona significant departure from what would normally follow a federal-level case. From the stockade, Epstein was permitted to leave for up to 12 hours per day for supposed work-related purposes. The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office later faced internal investigation over the management of this arrangement, and multiple officers were disciplined.
