‘Heads must roll’: Outrage at how high-security jail could let Jeffrey Epstein die

Millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died in an apparent suicide while in federal custody in Manhattan early Saturday, a stunning end that both infuriated and baffled his victims, and the federal officials responsible for his safety.

“I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey ­Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody,” Barr said in a statement.

“Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the inspector general, who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death,” Barr said.

Epstein had inexplicably been taken off suicide watch despite an incident three weeks ago when he was found sprawled on the floor of his cell, nearly unconscious, and with injuries to his neck.

He was being housed in the jail’s high-security Special Housing Unit, in which high-profile or dangerous detainees are kept separate from the general population.

Until recently, the jail had housed Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, who is now at a supermax prison in Colorado.

At MCC, prisoners on suicide watch get checked every 15 minutes.

“Heads must roll,” Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, a Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote to Barr in a scathing letter Saturday.

“Every single person in the Justice Department — from your Main Justice headquarters staff all the way to the night-shift jailer — knew that this man was a suicide risk, and that his dark secrets couldn’t be allowed to die with him,” Sasse wrote.

There’s no question Epstein should have been under continual watch, said Cameron Lindsay, a former warden who ran three federal jails and who called the death a “shocking failure.”

“Unequivocally, he should have been on active suicide watch and therefore under direct and constant supervision,” Lindsay said.

“It’s embarrassing,” one federal law-enforcement source told The Post of Epstein.

“This is the highest-profile inmate in that facility, and considering that he may have attempted suicide two weeks ago — how could they let this happen?”

Every employee of that prison should be water boarded.

I couldn’t agree more with that.

First you take out the target.

Then you take out the taker outers.

The victims are the wild card. They can get in front of a mic at any minute or receive checks for millions now, but eventually being silence years down the road just to tie up the loose ends.

Is it safe to surmise that the MCC and the Federal Prison System, when it comes to efficiency and excellence, are right down there with the DMV and the VA?

‘Heads must roll’:

Heads must roll? What for? Saving the taxpayers a ton of money? Getting rid of a corrupt pervert? I would think the situation called for a celebration with cake, music and dancing. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

““fired and then retire to their new mansions in Costa Rica.“
You really think so? I was thinking Belize.”

Check their extradition laws. That will be a strong indicator.

“apparent suicide”

Yeah right,
Cui bono

I might have been thinking of that place. Where is John McAfee living? (too lazy to goggle it)

‘Heads must roll’

Here we go again with the make pretend outrage and make pretend investigations and then 6 months later you find you have forgotten all about it and nothing was really done. Where is this “investigation” of the people behind the attempted coup of President Donald Trump?? In other countries an attempted coup brings you the death penalty. Oh but that’s right, Hillary is behind it and Hillary is above the law. Same crap is going to go on with this murder of Epstein. This whole government is one huge joke.

[Skooz]

Big words. Huffing and puffing.

Then buried in the next news cycle. No heads will roll.

Down the memory hole this goes.

[Cowboy Bob]

Mistakes were made...

Some of this hysteria is pathetic and silly.

“Everyone knew his dark secrets couldn’t be allowed to die with him.” WTF is that supposed to mean? The guy was 66 years old and was facing prosecution for Federal crimes. If he didn’t reveal his “dark secrets” in his first 66 years of life, and he couldn’t be compelled to testify to anything self-incriminating as a matter of U.S. law, then what does anyone think would have happened if he had lived to the age of 100?

[metmom]

Too bad they don’t care when nobody’s that no one cares about do it.

It’s always when someone rich and famous has to live with what we unwashed masses have to deal with that they get *outraged*.

[metmom]

I wonder if they’re really sure it was HIM who died and not someone else that they are claiming is him and he’s been secluded somewhere safe and sound.

Imho? Jeffie and his eggy got knocked
