And it's true, based on the replies to this post. No one who says Epstein's suicide was a "practical impossibility" has been anywhere near the justice system. They definitely don't know anyone who has been on the prisoner side of it.
People who know a thing or two about the justice system will explain to you how differently high profile prisoners like Epstein are treated.
But what could I, a middle class white person, know about the subject?
Are you aware that some of us are former prisoners as well?
They're also used to preventing suicides.
There has only been one other successful suicide in that facility in the four decades it has existed.
Why now? Coincidence?
Here's the story of a death, not suicide, in an equivalent facility in Chicago - Solebo. He wasn't taking his meds, and nobody knew because the blood samples they'd taken from him were contaminated. Coincidence? And although a judge had ordered twice, six months apart, that he be transferred for proper medical examinations, he wasn't. Coincidence? And every staff member with a medical license was on leave or away the day he was found dead. Coincidence? Does the federal DoC just actually fail that much in that many ways? Yes. All the time.
