Attorney General Bill Barr said Saturday that he is “appalled” by Jeffrey Epstein’s death, and has consulted with the Inspector General about an investigation after Epstein hanged himself and was found in his jail cell early on Saturday.
“I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody,” Barr said.
“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.”
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons confirmed in a statement Saturday that the FBI would investigate the suicide of the financier, who is accused of sexually abusing and trafficking underage girls. There is nothing at this point to suggest foul play, a senior law enforcement official said.

The AG should have kept quiet. His statement is insulting because he attempts to placate the people by feigning outrage and implying that the FBI can be trusted to conduct an honest investigation. Those horses have left the barn long ago.

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. Only the Program Coordinator will have the authority to remove an inmate from suicide watch. Generally, the post-watch report should be completed in PDS prior to terminating the watch, or as soon as possible following watch termination, to ensure appropriate continuity of care. Copies of the report will be forwarded to the central file, medical record, psychology file, and the Warden. There should be a clear description of the resolution of the crisis and guidelines for follow-up care.
Suicidal Inmates. If the Program Coordinator determines the individual to have an imminent potential for suicide, the inmate will be placed on suicide watch in the institution’s designated suicide prevention room. The actions and findings of the Program Coordinator will be documented, with copies going to the central file, medical record, psychology file, and the Warden.
12. SUICIDE WATCH. a. Housing. Each institution must have one or more rooms designated specifically for housing an inmate on suicide watch. The designated room must allow staff to maintain adequate control of the inmate without compromising the ability to observe and protect the inmate. — The primary concern in designating a room for suicide watch must be the ability to observe, protect, and maintain adequate control of the inmate. — The room must permit easy access, privacy, and unobstructed vision of the inmate at all times. — The suicide prevention room may not have fixtures or architectural features that would easily allow self-injury. Inmates on watch will be placed in the institution’s designated suicide prevention room, a non-administrative detention/segregation cell ordinarily located in the health services area. Despite the cell’s location, the inmate will not be admitted as an in-patient unless there are medical indications that would necessitate immediate hospitalization. Placement of a suicide watch room in a different area may be warranted given the unique features of some institutions. — However, designating a room for suicide watch outside of the Health Services area requires written approval of the Regional Director. Such rooms must meet all of the requirements identified above.
Page 12 — Administrative detention and disciplinary segregation cells will not be designated or approved as suicide watch cells. — Under emergency conditions a suicidal inmate may be placed temporarily on suicide watch in a cell other than the institution’s designated watch room. The inmate must be moved to a designated suicide watch room as soon as one becomes available. b. Conditions of Confinement. While on suicide watch, the inmate’s conditions of confinement will be the least restrictive available to ensure control and safety. The inmate on watch will ordinarily be seen by the Program Coordinator on at least a daily basis. Unit staff will have frequent contact with the inmate while he/she is on watch. Ordinarily, the Program Coordinator or designee will interview or monitor each inmate on suicide watch at least daily and record clinical notes following each visit. The Program Coordinator or designee will specify the type of personal property, bedding, clothing, magazines, that may be allowed. — If approved by the Warden, restraints may be applied if necessary to obtain greater control, but their use must be clearly documented and supported. — Any deviations from prescribed suicide watch conditions may be made only with the Program Coordinator’s concurrence. — The Program Coordinator will develop local procedures to ensure timely notification to the inmate’s Unit Manager when a suicide watch is initiated and terminated. Correctional Services staff, in consultation with the Program Coordinator or designee, will be responsible for the inmate’s daily custodial care, cell, and routine activities. — Unit Management staff in consultation with the Program Coordinator will continue to be responsive to routine needs while the inmate is on suicide watch. c. Observation. For all suicide watches: — Any visual observation techniques used to monitor the suicide companion program will focus on the inmate companion and/or the inmate on suicide watch only. — The observer and the suicidal inmate will not be in the same room/cell and will have a locked door between them. — The person performing the suicide watch must have a means to summon help immediately (e.g., phone, radio) P5324.08 4/5/2007 Page 13 if the inmate displays any suicidal or unusual behavior. — The Program Coordinator will establish procedures for documenting observations of the inmate’s behavior in a Suicide Watch log book, which will be maintained as a secure document. Staff and inmate observers will document in separate log books. Post Orders will provide direction to staff on requirements for documentation. 1) Staff Observers. The suicide watch may be conducted using staff observers. Staff assigned to a suicide watch must have received training (Introduction to Correctional Techniques or in AT) and must review and sign the Post Orders before starting the watch. The Program Coordinator will review the Post Orders annually to ensure their accuracy. 2) Inmate Observers. Only the Warden may authorize the use of inmate observers (inmate companion program). The authorization for the use of inmate companions is to be made by the Warden on a case-by-case basis. If the Warden authorizes a companion program, the Program Coordinator will be responsible for the selection, training, assignment, and removal of individual companions. Inmates selected as companions are considered to be on an institution work assignment when they are on their scheduled shift and shall receive performance pay for time spent monitoring a potentially suicidal inmate. d. Watch Termination and Post-Watch Report. Based upon clinical findings, the Program Coordinator or designee will: 1) Remove the inmate from suicide watch when the inmate is no longer at imminent risk for suicide, or 2) Arrange for the inmate’s transfer to a medical referral center or contract health care facility. 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. Only the Program Coordinator will have the authority to remove an inmate from suicide watch. Generally, the post-watch report should be completed in PDS prior to terminating the watch, or as soon as possible following watch termination, to ensure appropriate continuity of care. Copies of the report will be forwarded to the central file, medical record, psychology file, and the Warden. There should be a clear description of the resolution of the crisis and guidelines for follow-up care
I’m shocked and hurt and outraged and trembling and afraid for my safety that such a racist noose image could be posted on the internet - is there no justice, no mercy, no compassion - I faint away....
Good question. Ask his murderers.
To some degree it is Trump’s fault. His dismal picks to lead the FBI and cabinet are a prime example.
The telling will be Trump’s reaction. All of the DOJ, including BARR who had influence on this should go. Resign or fired. My bet nothing happens, no one is prosecuted and both sides play politics as usual.
Tell me you are trying to pin this all on the Program Director? Trump owns the chain of command that the PD answers to. Also, a high profile inmate who was involved in a previous incident, and who had connections to Trump is hung at the feet of the PD? Do you understand how much control Trump and Barr have? The PD is a piker, that is all.
When is the MedEx going to be offed via cyanide? This whole thing stinks.
If Mario Puzo were around, he could explain it with his reference to the Frank Pentangelie suicide while under fed protection at Ft Holabird in Godfather II. Simple, just have someone come and visit him and ask him what the honorable thing would be to do.
“Epstein was a spy.
There are some professions that are guaranteed death”
Wow you’re a suspicious type. You probably wonder whether William Colby really died in a canoeing accident
Oh! Thank heavens! I feel so much better now!
==================================================
Exactly.
The IG has no power outside the DOJ, and the FBI is a criminally political leftist organization.
If anything can be done at this point, a federal prosecutor that isn't a leftist is the only "hope."
If Mario Puzo were around
Actually, I was thinking of the Senate hearing scene in Gfather II. The committee chairman is flustered by Franks change in testimony. He says “I’m going to get to the bottom of this”. Barr -whether sincerely or not - is saying the same thing. And I suspect he won’t have any more success than the fictional Senators
On a side note, bet the champaign is flowing up in Chipawa NY tonight, or wherever the beast is rookeried.
