Sheets and a bunk bed for someone on suicide watch? May as well give him a glass of water and a handful of pills.
Reports are he wasn’t being treated as a suicide risk. That’s the dropped ball. He should have been under constant surveillance given his high profile and importance — plus the minor detail that he had attempted suicide just a few weeks before and had every reason to try again.
He WASN’T on suicide watch.
Why don’t people understand that?
Again... he wasn’t on suicide watch. He was in general population with regular general population bedding. Suicide watch only lasts 2-10 days. The ten days was used up a week previously. His own lawyers asked for him to be taken off the watch.
That water and pills may be what he really died of.
He was taken off suicide watch. Suicide watch is so strict and spartan that some people regard it as “cruel and unusual” punishment. It’s sort of a “no-win situation” for prison authorities.
