There hadn’t been a suicide in that prison for 21 years. That one happened at it was Epstein is extraordinary.
- criddell 7y agoFirst, I was wrong - he wasn't in prison, he was in a jail (MCC). It was the first suicide in 13 years for that facility, not 21. He had just come off suicide watch because he was suicidal. Is it really a surprise that he went through with it?
- malvosenior 7y agoYes, it's a surprise that he ended up dead. Where did you hear 13 years? I've only ever seen 21 years without a suicide at MMC, and that was the only one in 40 years. https://www.foxnews.com/us/epstein-new-york-lockup-suicides https://www.foxnews.com/us/epstein-new-york-lockup-suicides > Prior to Epstein, the only other reported suicide at MMC occurred 21 years ago, when Philadelphia mobster Louis Turra hanged himself with a bedsheet tied to the window bars of his cell.
