Reuters: Prison Guards Skipped Mandatory Checks Before Jeffrey Epstein’s Death
Breitbart ^ | 10 Aug 2019 | Joshu Caplan

Posted on 08/11/2019 9:58:56 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Guards at the New York City jail where millionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein was found dead Saturday did not conduct required checks on prisoners the previous night, according to a report. Epstein died of a suspected suicide after being found unresponsive in his Manhattan Correctional Center cell where he was being held on sex trafficking charges. At approximately 6:30 a.m., Epstein was “found unresponsive in his cell in the Special Housing Unit from an apparent suicide,” the Federal Bureau of Prisons said in a news release.

Staff conducted life-saving measures and Epstein was transported by ambulance to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Around 7:30 a.m., a gurney carrying a man who looked like Epstein was wheeled out of the jail and taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital, the New York Post reported.

Epstein hanged himself while in solitary confinement. Three law enforcement sources confirmed the suicide to ABC News. NBC reported he was not on suicide watch.

“At the MCC, two jail guards are required to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not followed overnight, according to the source. In addition, every 15 minutes guards are required to make another check on prisoners who are on suicide watch,” Reuters reports.

In July, Epstein was found nearly unconscious in his cell with injuries to his neck and was placed on suicide watch.

Attorney General William Barr has directed the FBI and Department of Justice inspector general to launch a full investigation into Epstein’s death.

What about the Cameras?

Were they wiped, like with a cloth?

The FBI and DOJ are clearly unwilling to investigate themselves. All they do is whitewash and cover up their mistakes and malfeasance. Nothing will change until some “honest broker” can be found to do a thorough investigation of the conduct of these agencies. We may need to set up an independent body to oversee them since congress won’t do it.

And wait for the “guilt of what they have done” sets in and they are found dead from self-inflicted wounds as well. Payoffs only last as long as the money lasts, there is a higher bidder or they are threatened with legal action.

easier to cover up if you do your own investigation Most major prison incidents have independent reviews usually appointed by the governor who appointed the wardens. On rare occasion states have invited independent people from outside the state. That’s how you know met they want the truth or want apolitical result.

Typically those people are recommended by theNational Institute of Corrections also under the AG. Let rudy do it and tell the dems who man and piss, this isn’t political it’s a prison suicide.

During the interlude Epstein was spirited away and a dead body double substituted - the real Epstein is too valuable to kill and too valuable to leave alive. Wherever he is he will never be seen again. The truth will never surface.

Right, I’m sure the FBI will pin everything on the President.

Is this a joke?

Chalmers: You call ignoring a prisoner “suicide watch?”
Skinner: Yes. It’s a regional dialect.
Chalmers: Oh yeah? What region?
Skinner: Er, downstate New York.
Chalmers: Really. Well I’m from the Bowery and I’ve never heard the phrase “suicide watch” used to describe ignoring a prisoner.
Skinner: Oh no, not in the Bowery... it’s a Two Bridges expression.

Are we going to see his body? Probably not or a fake. Either that or Epstein’s “last testament” will specify cremation and it will be honored out of respect, but the autopsy will have been written ahead of time a la Comey.
Will there be an independent autopsy? Perish the thought. Only approved federal governmental operatives and sources are permitted.
Will there be the release of an information cache that would’ve occurred in most cases upon the death of a wealthy high profile individual with a lot of dirt on elites? No, only government/ media dis-info is allowed.
Could Epstein have made a deal with the Clintons to fake the death and live in obscurity as long as the info is spiked? No. Impossible. Conspiracy theory and thought crime.

Pictures of his ear lobe taken from the death guerney compared to earlier pics seem to be different.

You should watch Dark Passage 1947. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Bogart breaks out of San Quentin and Bacall helps him escape after his plastic surgery.

The scenes with the plastic surgeon are great as well as the cinematography.

All are simply staring at their watches waiting and counting the minutes days and years for retirement.
Worthless bunch of federal employees they all be.
