FULL TITLE: Jeffrey Epstein's guards 'did NOT check his cell according to procedure' the night he hanged himself - as pictures show his body being wheeled into hospital amid outrage he has escaped justice

Guards at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan jail did not follow procedure and check on prisoners every 30 minutes the night the pedophile took his own life, a source has revealed.

The former financier, 66, was found hanging in his prison cell shortly before 7am and was rushed to nearby New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A photo has emerged of the pedophile's body being wheeled into hospital on a gurney.

The source told the news agency that two jail guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center are required to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not followed overnight.

In addition, every 15 minutes guards are required to make another check on prisoners who are on suicide watch.

The decision to remove Epstein, who was possibly the most high-profile inmate in the federal jail system, from suicide watch has both baffled former wardens and veterans of the federal prison system alike.

A separate source revealed to DailyMail.com that Epstein actually told prison guards and fellow inmates that he believed someone had tried to kill him in the weeks before his death.

The insider, who had seen the disgraced financier on several occasions during his incarceration at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, also claims that the normally reserved Epstein seemed to be in good spirits.

'There was no indication that he might try to take his own life,' the source told DailyMail.com

'From what I saw, he was finally starting to adjust to prison. I think he was comforted by the rigidity of his new life.'

So this article says he was found hanging in his cell. Really??

Impossible. Another thread discusses this issue. Ceiling nine-feet high, no bars or pipes to hang from, bed sheets like paper, prisoner in jump suit, no belt, etc.

This stinks.

There are two different stories - found hanging and found dead in bed - one of them is obviously wrong.

Several guards at prisons said there is no way he coudla committed suicide- one even said in 25 years working in a prison in NY there was never a suicide while on suicide watch- (but to be clear- supposedly epstein was not on watch at the time- but he sure shoulda been given previous attempt)

How convenient for high level peeps that frequented pedo island that the one fella that offs himself while noone saw him coulda been the one to out them-

Can you imagine the outrage by the left if a republican president had been mixed up with the pedo and this happened? Sure, the left are trying to connect trump and him- but there’s nothing there- but IF another republican pres actually had dealings with the pedo- frequented the island 25 times- and then the pedo died in prison when an investigation was going on- holy cow- the left would be going mental-

We can only hope and pray that the investigations continue-

Justice would be exposing all the bad actors the his death is now protecting. We need these people to face justice in this country. The two tiered justice system is tearing this country apart and destroying it. Lawlessness has become endemic. What part of that don’t you get?

Not one journalism major is asking for the names of the guards or those in charge of the Watch status, so that they can be asked WHY they allowed this to happen... which leads to those who paid them to do so... which leads back to the Epstein Elites List. The MSM does not want that to happen.

My wife was a prison nurse... even if they had checked every 15 mins... you can still hang yourself in the 15 minute interval...

The prison’s in luck...

FBI goons will find that ‘accidents happen’ and the prison is just fine.

Anyone who wants to look into this situation further OR doubts FBI BS is a racist... and will be investigated as a terrorist...

Wishful thinking if you believe those who participated in this will be prosecuted. The only ones who will fall will be those the elites throw under their bus...they are the deciders, not real justice.

Further we have lawlessness because ‘enforcement’ of our laws are not carried out by those who have that authority and this often because they are threatened and or part of the corruption.

Any justice will be very slow coming....if at all.

“he has escaped justice”
He may have escaped justice in this world, but this is the least of his problems. VENGENCE IS MINE, THUS SAITH THE LORD.

“Me thinks it won’t be long before the guards start disappearing too, following Epstein into the afterlife.”

You are not the only one. I wonder how long before the guards that broke protocol disappear; have unknown health problems, accidents, etc. Should be interesting.

Epstein’s status was changed sometime in the previous two weeks for reasons that remain unknown, officials told NBC News. The decision would normally have to have been authorized by the jail’s suicide prevention program coordinator, who is ordinarily the institution’s chief psychologist, and approved by the warden.

Jack Donson, a former longtime federal Bureau of Prisons case manager, told NBC News that suicide watch in federal lockup “usually only lasts a few days to week” due to the amount of manpower the 24-hour surveillance entails. Federal staff members will “make an assessment” about when they believe that “imminent danger” to the inmate has passed, and then the warden and chief psychologist make a determination about what to do with the inmate. He also mentioned that it is rare when a suicide watch is on for more than a week.

“Once an inmate has been placed on watch, the watch may not be terminated, under any circumstance, without the program coordinator or designee performing a face-to-face evaluation,” according to the federal Bureau of Prison official guidelines issued in 2007.”

That has not been mentioned as accomplished in the articles I saw. Doesn’t mean it didn’t though as the act to remove him was apparently a couple of weeks prior to the incident.

According to the BOP Psychology Services Manual: Within 24 hours of an inmate’s arrival, he/she completes the BP-A0519 Psychology Services Inmate Questionnaire (PSIQ). Upon completion, institution staff (e.g., Receiving and Discharge, Health Services) review the PSIQ and immediately alert Psychology Services if the inmate reports he/she is thinking of harming or killing him-/herself.

The actual possible suicide attempt happened in middle July prior to the one that actually accomplished the goal. There was more than 10 days to take him off.

What’s the Vegas odds on this coroner or his assistants committing suicide?

Who’s suspicious death was it that that other coroner suddenly die from “suicide”?

Oh please if those three had been on duty he might still be alive! The prison would be in rubble but Epstein would be alive.
