Confounding New Details Emerge in Epstein Case
NEW YORK — One of Jeffrey Epstein’s two guards the night he hanged himself in his federal jail cell wasn’t a regular correctional officer, according to people familiar with the detention center, which is now under scrutiny for what Attorney General William Barr on Monday called “serious irregularities.”
Epstein, 66, was found Saturday morning in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a jail previously renowned for its ability to hold notorious prisoners under extremely tight security.
“I was appalled, and indeed the whole department was, and frankly angry to learn of the MCC’s failure to adequately secure this prisoner,” Barr said at a police conference in New Orleans. “We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation. The FBI and the office of inspector general are doing just that.”
He added: “We will get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability.”
In the days since Epstein’s death while awaiting charges that he sexually abused underage girls, a portrait has begun to emerge of Manhattan’s federal detention center as a chronically understaffed facility that possibly made a series of missteps in handling its most high-profile inmate.
Epstein had been placed on suicide watch after he was found in his cell a little over two weeks ago with bruises on his neck. But he had been taken off that watch at the end of July and returned to the jail’s special housing unit.
There, Epstein was supposed to have been checked on by a guard about every 30 minutes. But investigators have learned those checks weren’t done for several hours before Epstein was found unresponsive, according to a person familiar with the episode. That person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and also spoke on condition of anonymity.
A second person familiar with operations at the jail said Epstein was found with a bedsheet around his neck Saturday morning. That person also wasn’t authorized to disclose information about the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Serene Gregg, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3148, told The Washington Post that one of the people assigned to Epstein’s unit wasn’t a correctional officer, but a fill-in who had been pressed into service because of staffing shortfalls.
It wasn’t clear what the substitute’s regular job was, but federal prisons facing shortages of fully trained guards have resorted to having other types of support staff fill in for correctional officers, including clerical workers and teachers.
The manner in which Epstein killed himself has not been announced publicly by government officials. An autopsy was performed Sunday, but New York City Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson said investigators were awaiting further information. A private pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, observed the autopsy at the request of Epstein’s lawyers.
The Associated Press does not typically report on details of suicide, but has made an exception because Epstein’s cause of death is pertinent to the ongoing investigations.
The House Judiciary Committee demanded answers from the Bureau of Prisons about Epstein’s death. Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat, and the panel’s top Republican, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, wrote the bureau’s acting director Monday with several questions about the conditions in the prison, including details on the bureau’s suicide prevention program.
Inmates on suicide watch in federal jails are subjected to 24 hours per day of “direct, continuous observation,” according to U.S. Bureau of Prisons policy. They are also issued tear-resistant clothing to thwart attempts to fashion nooses and are placed in cells that are stripped of furniture or fixtures they could use to kill themselves.
Those watches, though, generally last only 72 hours before someone is either moved into a medical facility or put back into less intensive monitoring.
The jail does have a video surveillance system, but federal standards don’t allow the use of cameras to monitor areas where prisoners are likely to be undressed unless those cameras are monitored only by staff members of the same gender as the inmates. As a practical matter, that means most federal jails nationwide focus cameras on common areas, rather than cell bunks.
Lindsay Hayes, a nationally recognized expert on suicide prevention behind bars, said that cameras are often ineffective because they require a staff member to be dedicated full time to monitoring the video feed 24 hours a day.
“It only takes three to five minutes for someone to hang themselves,” said Hayes, a project director for the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives. “If no one is watching the screen, then the camera is useless. There are a lot of suicides that just end up being recorded.”
On the morning of Epstein’s apparent suicide, guards on his unit were working overtime shifts to make up for staffing shortages, one person familiar with the matter said. The person said one guard was working a fifth straight day of overtime and another was working mandatory overtime.
Epstein’s death cut short a prosecution that could have pulled back the curtain on his activities and his connections to celebrities and presidents, though Barr vowed Monday that the case will continue “against anyone who was complicit with Epstein.”
“Any co-conspirators should not rest easy. The victims deserve justice and they will get it,” he said.
According to police reports obtained by the AP, investigators believed Epstein had a team of recruiters and employees who lined up underage girls for him.
ABC News aired video Monday of FBI agents and police arriving by boat at a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands where Epstein had an estate.
In a court filing Monday, Epstein’s accusers said that an agreement he negotiated with federal prosecutors in Florida over a decade ago to grant immunity to his possible accomplices should be thrown out now that he is dead. Under that 2008 agreement, Epstein pleaded guilty to prostitution-related state charges and served 13 months behind bars.
At the time of his death, Epstein was being held without bail and faced up to 45 years in prison on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges unsealed last month.
Epstein’s death is the latest black eye for the Bureau of Prisons, which was already was under fire over the October beating death of Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger at a federal prison in West Virginia. The bureau is part of the Justice Department and falls under the attorney general’s supervision.
Taken together, the two deaths underscore “serious issues surrounding a lack of leadership” within the bureau, said Cameron Lindsay, a former warden who ran three federal lockups, including the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
A defense attorney for Epstein, Marc Fernich, also faulted jail officials, saying they “recklessly put Mr. Epstein in harm’s way” and failed to protect him.
Staffing shortages worsened by a partial government shutdown prompted inmates at the New York City jail to stage a hunger strike in January after they were denied family and lawyer visits.
Eight months later, the jail remains so short-staffed that the Bureau of Prisons is offering guards a $10,000 bonus to transfer there from other federal lockups.
In the wake of Epstein’s suicide, union president Eric Young of the American Federation of Government Employees Council of Prison Locals said a Trump administration hiring freeze at the Bureau of Prisons has led to thousands of vacancies and created “dangerous conditions” for prison workers and inmates.
In a statement, Young said that teachers, clerical workers and other support staff are regularly used to fill in for guards, and many guards are regularly forced to work 70- and 80-hour weeks.
Suicide has long been the leading cause of death in U.S. jails overall. In the federal system, suicides are rarer. At least 124 inmates killed themselves while in federal custody between fiscal years 2010 and 2016, according to the most recent statistics available from the Bureau of Prisons.

Barr “We will have accountability”. You betcha. Why then has there been zero accountability so far and the scandal ever got this far without anybody else being arrested?
The Swamp stinks!
Never Before Have We Seen A Piece of Official “News” So Instantly and Widely Disbelieved!
1) AG William Barr secretly visited Manhattan jail weeks before Jeffrey Epstein’s death, claims former mobster

2) Never before have we seen a piece of official “news” so instantly and widely disbelieved, as the alleged “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein in USA federal custody. Epstein is a hero in Israel and they would do anything to save him – Epstein’s personal blackmail files – more than 2000 names are there, video, DNA, lots of DNA, the biggest “honey trap” in spy history – his massive blackmail files on Trump, led Attorney General William Barr, working with his lifelong partners at the CIA and Israeli intelligence, to get Epstein to safety. US Attorney General William Barr, was a CIA officer 1973-77 – Barr’s law firm Kirkland Ellis represented Epstein – Bill Barr’s father Donald Barr was born Jewish, converting to Catholicism, and was OSS intel during WW2 – Don Barr hired Epstein to work with him teaching teens 1973-75 – Don Barr was as fascinated with sexual slavery as Epstein:

4) From Jim Stone: CNN’s now dead Anthony Bourdain used to fake Epstein on a gurney, for only God knows what reason.
Do an image search for Anthony Bourdain. You’d swear you image searched Epstein. I was taken aback, he’s damn near a dead ringer.
BOOOOOMMMM!!!! EPSTEIN IS NOT DEAD, THE GURNEY PICTURES ARE FAKE AND I CAN PROVE IT!
THEY USED RANDOM TRAINING PHOTOS FOR THE EPSTEIN DEATH HOAX AND ONE OF THEM IS A PHOTO OF EMT’S TRAINING IN A NYFD GARAGE, WHERE THEY PARK THE FIRE TRUCKS. THEY SPLICED EPSTEIN ONTO THE GURNEY IN PLACE OF WHAT WAS PROBABLY A “RESUSCI ANNE” DOLL THAT WOULD BE USED FOR TRAINING. THE ORIGINATED IN AN NYFD GARAGE, AND NOT THE HOSPITAL, WHERE THE NEW YORK POST CLAIMED HE WAS TAKEN.

5) Let’s be clear about this brazen act of suiciding the most damaging witness in U.S. criminal justice history: It was perpetrated with great purpose and designed to send a HUGE message to every person on the planet, which it did.
That deliberate message is this:
The Powers That Be are completely untouchable.
TPTB can kill or suicide or kidnap anyone in the world.
No one is outside of their closely monitored territory
worldwide who cannot be quite easily liquidated.
And, regardless of who is hit or disappeared, they will never
be caught or prosecuted.
TPTB act with total impunity just as they did with 9/11, the
OK City Bombing, Las Vegas mass shooting, etc.
They can commit any crime whatsoever, anywhere they so
choose and cover it up practically forever.
By neutralizing such a high-profile criminal as Epstein, they
proved they can eliminate any witness to any criminal conspiracy.
Message to those who worked with Epstein: You talk, you walk?
off a plank in the mid-Atlantic.
Just like they did with the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK,
these top-level perps have sent a message to every leader in every
sphere of life that no one is beyond their reach.
Anyone who leaves the Deep State reservation does so on pain
of death or worse. These are the primary messages of those who
reside at the very peak of the pinnacle of the pyramid of the
global power structure.

Comment by Anonymous:
The Epstein situation proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the government of the USA can no longer be trusted. It must be desolated and the 72 congressional now in Israel [apparently celebrating the transfer of Epstein to Israel] arrested for treason upon their return to the USA. FURTHERMORE, ALL ELECTED federal officials who have signed or voiced unconditional support for Israel must be stripped of their position and prosecuted for representing a foreign power. It is bad enough that Epstein and the other 49+ similar blackmailing organizations be busted, but that this blackmail is based on torturing and taking the lives of children for this purpose and producing adrenochrome is simply intolerable.

Comment from Truth Seeker – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktW60OmUWFM
Israel’s Prime Ministers Who They Really Are? Don’t let their invented Hebrew names fool you. Each and every Prime Minister of Israel comes either directly from Eastern Europe or is removed by one generation therefrom. These Prime Ministers are not leading their “people” in their native land, but rather are part of a European colonial system implanted in the Middle East by Zionists. They are all originally from the dispanded Khazar Khaganate who converted to Babylonian Talmud aka “Judaism” that was incorporated by Russia around 1000AD and the rest fled to Easter Europe.
David Ben-Gurion – real name David Grün – Ashkenazi Khazar from Poland
Moshe Sharett – real name Moshe Shertok – Ashkenazi Khazarfrom Ukraine
Levi Eshkol – real name Levi Shkolnik – Ashkenazi Khazar from Russian Empire
Yigal Allon – real name Yigal Peikowitz (Paicovich) – Ashkenazi Khazar from Grodno, Russia
Golda Meir – real name Golda Mabovitch – Ashkenazi Khazar from Kiev, Ukraine
Yitzhak Rabin – real name Yitzhak Rubitzov – Ashkenazi Khazar from Sydorovychi, Ukraine
Menachem Begin – real name Menakhem Volfovich – Ashkenazi Khazar from Brest, Belarus
Yitzhak Shamir – real name Yitzhak Yezernitsky – Ashkenazi Khazar from Ruzhany, Belarus
Shimon Peres – real name Szymon Perski – Ashkenazi Khazar from Wiszniew, Poland
Ehud Barak – real name Ehud Brog – Ashkenazi Khazar from Pushelat, Lithuania
Ariel Sharon – real name Ariel Scheinermann – Ashkenazi Khazar from Brest-Litovsk, Belarus
Ehud Olmert – ‘kept original foreign name’ – Ashkenazi Khazar from Buguruslan, Russian Empire
Benjamin Netanyahu – real name Benjamin Mileikowsky – Ashkenazi Khazar from Poland
These my friends are the 12 false apostles of Satan. Yigal Peikowitz was just acting PM for a few days not officially a Prime Minister. What do they have in common? Foreign names with no relation to historical semite family names. They used biblical first names because they found them in the Tanakh but they had no idea what Sephardic (semite) family names were like so once they invaded the ancient lands of Israel they started to change their family names to the ones historically used by biblical semites. All to disguise the fact they were a foreign people in a foreign land which their ancestors had never set foot before.
Also note that none of their Prime Ministers are Sephardic (correct term is Seferim or Seferdim which means ‘People of the Book’) that’s because the counter fake state of Israel was created by Satan and spiritually Satan can only have his synagogue do his work Satan can not use the seed of Yisrael (Sephardic) to bring forth his throne in Jerusalem.
What are the odds you would have all 12 Prime Ministers all being ashkenazi khazars and none being Sephardic (semite)? It’s all so very clear it’s impossible not to see what’s going on. Keep in mind the 666 hexagram on the counter fake State of Israel speaks for itself to whom that flag belongs to.
More important than exposing Zionism is to expose who are the Zionists they are the counter fake “jews” who would try to establish the throne of Satan in Jerusalem in the last days.
Revelation 3:9 ‘Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie…’
Follow-up comment by Truth Seeker:
…this is most oppressed fact in the world. Unfortunately even among “anti zionists” there’s a complete blackout regarding which is very odd. David Icke and TruNews no one else covers this in “alt news” Ben Nun is one who knows all of this but dare not share the truth. I wonder how why as this is the core of establishing the Zionist World Order and the throne of Satan in Jerusalem. YouTube once they see this gaining like they bury the post although spiritually this gives the post a compound reach as its falls to the ground.
This can be easily traced. And aye, that’s the very problem. So they’ll stop at the point that fingers the person or persons. Watch and learn….
