Former Head of NYC Prisons: If Epstein Was in Solitary Confinement, He Wasn’t on Suicide Watch

After Jeffrey Epstein—the rich financier accused of running a pedophile sex ring—was found dead in his jail cell, a former NYPD commissioner questioned previous reports that Epstein was on a suicide watch.

Epstein was reportedly put into a cell by himself in the Protective Custody wing of the federal detention facility after an apparent suicide attempt on July 24. In that wing, being alone in a cell means solitary confinement and “solitary confinement is not a suicide watch,” said Bernard Kerik in a phone interview with The Epoch Times.

Kerik knows the prison system well. He led the New York City Department of Correction between 1998-2000 and the city’s police department between 2000-2001. He also served eight months in federal prison for tax fraud and making false statements. Initially, he was put in solitary confinement and later advocated against what he described as improper use of it as a method of psychological torture.

Regarding Epstein, Kerik noted that in solitary confinement the inmate is not actually monitored perpetually.

“The watches are 15 minutes [apart],” he said. “The inmate knows that.”

That means that after each watch, the inmate has 15 minutes to “do whatever you want to do,” he said. more

  1. Maybe it’s time that Hillary, Bill, Obama and the rest had that “15 minutes” timeout. It sounds to me like Kerik is setting up and “out” for the corrections service.

  2. Never should have been out of anyone’s sight. Much less a CC camera.

    Total bullshit. It would have no doubt damaged the town for the truth to come out.

    Anyone working at that prison needs a roto rooter search of their bank records, cars they are driving and lifestyles to see if they are exceeding their income.

    All communications public and private since he arrived and definitely in the 48 hours leading up to this blatant horseshit.

  3. I see the usual 27 different stories at once is being released by all the official authorities. That means there is zero fucking chance we’ll ever know how Epstein really died, what he knew, and who he knew it about. The usual bullshit.

  4. Too many dirtbags in NYC law enforcement didn’t want Epstein outing them as fellow pedos. He had probably let them know he’d out them all if he went to trial. He was too stupid to understand that he signed his own death warrant when he did that.

  5. Makes sense to me that his death was faked, he must have had a lot of evidence well hidden and set to be released if he was murdered so all he had to do is let the right people know and they would ensure his getting out.

  6. The Good GENERAL… you may want to follow someone other than Jordan_Sather.

    Without a defendant, there will be no trial. Further, any “evidence” died with Epstein, as he is no longer around to corroborate or refute said evidence.

    Lastly, all of his assets frozen/confiscated by the govt revert back to his estate, as he was never convicted in the current case.

    Everyone won today….except the victims.

  7. He had to know they had it in for him and his life wouldn’t be worth spit when they finally lowered the boom. He would have a list of prominent people with incriminating evidence against them sealed and held by a lawyer with instructions to release if he were prosecuted. So where is it?

  8. Epstein is dead. All the big shot pedophile rapists are in the clear. Now his victims will be hushed using Epstein’s money, and that is the end of it. There will be no investigation beyond the administrative cover-up story.

  9. They can try to fold, spindle and mutilate this murder
    until doomsday and no one but an MSM watching fool would believe he wasn’t assassinated to shut him up.
    This was an obvious hit by a “protected” criminal orginization operating with impunity and it needs
    a full RICO investigation.

  10. This reminds me of the “suicide” of Abe “Kid Twist” Reles of Murder, Inc. in 1941, when he went flying out of the sixth floor window of the Coney Island hotel where he was being held under NYC police protection before he was going to testify against Albert Anastasia. After he hit the roof that interrupted his flight, Reles was known as the “canary who could sing, but couldn’t fly.” Perhaps Epstein will become known as “the pervert who couldn’t perform oral testimony.”

  11. They MURDERED Scalia and no one gave a shit.

    I could care less about ANY of the rich, or famous, or political.

    It is God’s prerogative to act. But if any come near us, I’ll act.

  12. His girl-fiend Ghislaine Maxwell is the new leader in the deadpool.

    I was so sad to read of her tragic death in a single-car accident next week.

    And Marco, it appears that the most dangerous thing to be in NYC is under NYPD protection.
