Corrections officers had not checked in on financier and registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for several hours before he was found hanging in his cell Saturday, a person familiar with the matter said, just one in a series of missteps in the hours leading up to his death.
Officers should have been checking on Epstein, who was being held in a special housing unit of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City, every 30 minutes

Gregg said. It wasnt a matter of how it happened or it happening, but it was only a matter of time for it to happen. It was inevitable. Our staff is severely overworked.
Another shining example of severe incompetence of unions and a nice touch from the union thug boss blaming society and our unwillingness to hire more union losers and pay them more. Unions should be illegal, they are worthless and the members are lazy fools.
The guards should then be charged with voluntary manslaughter.
They had ONE simple job.
THIS is da gummint who will manage all the healthcare of ALL citizens..?
That would be challenging even for a prison management GENIUS —we have the retards.
And the conspiracy theories keep coming.
Please see post 4. Thank-you.
Exactly, I can hear the union boss now saying the patient died because their staff was overworked and they had a teacher doing the heart transplant, oh well, they need more money.
“...only a matter of time...”
Not buying this Gregg; how convenient that the “matter-of-time” was perfect timing for the demise of a prize witness against the Clintons and others.
Anyone fooled by this explanation wants to be fooled.
IMHO....this was indeed a conspiracy.
Now let's take a look at the warden and who ordered his cellmate to be removed.
Wait. I thought they found him unresponsive on the floor.
KGB anyone?
Millions of people (like myself) worked 60-70 hours a week....and “do their job” well.
Epstein’s lawyer (yes, and his mother) should be front and center demanding answers.
And so easy to blame it on union incompetence, hey we expect this sort of thing from gov't workers.
Ummm...hanging from what?
Why would someone just off suicide watch [cough cough] be in a cell with anything to hang from?
It would be interesting to know the wage of the prison guards who were supposedly working their 5th straight day of overtime at the fed facility, and how much they normally make in overtime pay beyond their regular wage.

Probably the 65 year old blind guy who was padding his last 3 so that his DB pension would be over $100,000/year.
BS!!!
This isn’t union incompetence, they broke every rule to allow this to happen, my guess is so a cleanup squad could kill him.
...found hanging in his cell Saturday...
I recall one NYC subway worker made $344,000 in overtime per year. I wonder if these guys are making hundreds of thousands in overtime, or even tens of thousands. They really might not want to be ‘fully staffed.’
