LIHOP - Why was Jeffrey Epstein taken off suicide watch?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Why Wasn’t Jeffrey Epstein on Suicide Watch When He Died?

Inmates on suicide watch are generally placed in a special observation cell, surrounded with windows, with a bolted down bed and no bedclothes. A correction officer — or sometimes a fellow inmate trained to be a “suicide companion” — is typically assigned to sit in an adjacent office and monitor the inmate constantly.

...

Robert Gangi, an expert on prisons and the former executive director of the Correctional Association of New York, said guards also generally take shoelaces and belts away from people on suicide watch.

“If he’s on suicide watch, it's virtually impossible to kill yourself,” Mr. Gangi said

5. He was on suicide watch but was taken off it after six days.

7. For how long?

Until he's convicted, and then he can off himself?

Until he dies a natural death?

2. He supposedly attempted suicide less than two weeks ago but was no longer on suicide watch.

It doesnt pass the smell test and doesnt take a rocket scientist.

3. He wasn't expected to live long enough

To commit suicide.

And he didn’t.

4. Perhaps it was assisted suicide. Did they bring back Dr. Kevorkian?

Because someone for sure assisted/facilitated his death.

And now Barr is "appalled" that he committed suicide.

Yeah, sure.

6. DOJ manual for handling suicidal inmates:

This manual is very detailed, all actions in it are required by DOJ.

Important read.
