You're acting like Epstein was just another prisoner.
People who know a thing or two about the justice system will explain to you how differently high profile prisoners like Epstein are treated.
But what could I, a middle class white person, know about the subject?
Are you aware that some of us are former prisoners as well?
- lazyasciiart 7y agoConvicted terrorists have said that Gitmo and warzones are better than this place. It's also very used to "high profile" prisoners, like El Chapo and accused terrorists picked up in Somalia and transferred back here.
- slimed 7y agoYou're right. They are used to it. They're also used to preventing suicides. There has only been one other successful suicide in that facility in the four decades it has existed. Why now? Coincidence?
- lazyasciiart 7y agoBecause he is the 20th prisoner in federal custody to commit suicide in a year? Because people routinely kill themselves even in supermax jails? Because 4-5 people attempt suicide in that prison every year and it'd be even more surprising if they were perfect at preventing it? Because they weren't allowed to hire new staff since Sessions froze hiring in 2017, until April, and their staffing levels went well down over that time? Here's the story of a death, not suicide, in an equivalent facility in Chicago - Solebo. He wasn't taking his meds, and nobody knew because the blood samples they'd taken from him were contaminated. Coincidence? And although a judge had ordered twice, six months apart, that he be transferred for proper medical examinations, he wasn't. Coincidence? And every staff member with a medical license was on leave or away the day he was found dead. Coincidence? Does the federal DoC just actually fail that much in that many ways? Yes. All the time.

- lazyasciiart 7y agoNot an edit: you are making things up.
