Jeffrey Epstein used his last days alive at a Manhattan jail to complain about having to wear an orange jumpsuit and 'being treated like a bad guy' - after having lied to a prison shrink about not being suicidal, according to a clinical intervention report filed by the detention center's chief psychologist.
More than 2,000 pages of Federal Bureau of Prisons records obtained by The New York Times just days before Epstein's alleged co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell is set to start trial, revealed Epstein was a con artist up until his last day.
Among the unclassified pages was a clinical intervention report, which was filed on July 11, 2019, and stated that Epstein 'continues to deny any suicidal ideation, intention or plan'.
Less than a month later, on August 10, the financier was pronounced dead by suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center City while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. He was facing 45 years in prison if convicted.

Epstein was tossed into the the federal jail in Lower Manhattan on July 6, 2019, after he was arrested aboard his private jet at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey following his return from Paris.
An indictment stated that Epstein had recruited dozens of teenage girls throughout the 1990s and early 2000s to engage in sexual acts with him and his billionaire friends at his mansion in Manhattan, estate in Palm Beach and private island in St Thomas.
In exchange he would pay the young women hundreds of dollars in cash, according to the indictment.
After the loss of his freedom, the 66-year-old spent a lot of time in conference rooms with lawyers to avoid his dirty cell and spent the days leading up to his death meeting with psychologists to discuss his mental health, The Times reported.
Here, Epstein reminisced about his star-studded social circle and complained that he was 'upset about wearing an orange jumpsuit and being treated like "a bad guy" when he did not do anything wrong in the prison'.
According to The Times, the report detailed how Epstein reassured those who interacted with him during his 36 days of detention that he had much to live for. The court document noted that 'he did not appear to be in any distress at this time'.
'I have no interest in killing myself,' the disgraced financier told a prison psychologist, according to the Bureau of Prisons documents.
The intervention report said that Epstein asked why he had to wear the brightly-colored jumpsuit 'due to his being housed in SHU' - also known as Special Housing Units and 'the hole' - which is where the Federal Bureau of Prison segregates prisoners by disciplinary action.
His stay at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan (pictured) began 36 days before his suicide. He was arrested and brought to the prison on July 6, 2019 following his arrest at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey following his return from Paris via private jet
He 'requested that he be placed in a brown uniform during his legal visits,' and 'was told his concerns would be addressed in the SHU meeting'.
He also complained about 'feeling cold in his cell (and) not having enough water in attorney conference'.
One month later, Epstein hanged himself in his jail cell, leading then-US Attorney General William Barr to blame his death on a 'perfect storm of screw-ups,' according to The Times.
Barr said there were 'serious irregularities' at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, and although he failed to elaborate, a 15-page psychological report of the billionaire's death compiled by bureau officials five weeks after Epstein died said that his identity 'appeared to be based on his wealth, power and association with other high-profile individuals,' according to The Times.
An intake screening also falsely described Epstein as a black male and noted that he had no prior sex offense convictions - yet he was a registered sex offender in Florida with two convictions in 2008 for solicitation of prostitution and procurement of minors to engage in prostitution, according to The Times.
He was sentenced to just 13 months following his guilty plea in 2008.
The night he killed himself, Epstein reportedly lied to jail officials for a moment alone, which was not allowed considering Epstein was supposed to be assigned a cellmate.
He said he wanted to call his mother, who had died in 2004 but instead phoned his 30-year-old girlfriend Karyna Shuliak, from Belarus.
The post-mortem report added that therefore, 'likely factors contributing to
