Neither guard guarding Jeffrey Epstein had checked on the multi-millionaire for several hours before he was found dead, and one of these guards was not a full correction officer, according to The New York Times.
A prison official and two law enforcement officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity revealed more details about Epstein‘s death, according to The New York Times Monday.
Only one of the guards responsible for watching Epstein was a fully fledged correction officer, according to the New York Times. Meanwhile, Epstein was reportedly removed from suicide watch and put on “special observation status,” which meant that he was required to have a cellmate and that guards must check in on him every 30 minutes, according to the Wall Street Journal.
However, the anonymous prison official and two law enforcement officials said that no one had checked on Epstein for several hours and that his cellmate had been removed but not replaced, according to the Times.
“I was appalled and frankly angry to learn of the [jail’s] failure to adequately secure this prisoner,” Attorney General William Barr said at a Monday press conference in New Orleans.
“We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation,” he said.
Epstein was accused of sexually exploiting girls as young as 14 in his homes in New York City and Florida and died of an apparent suicide Saturday morning.
“We will get to the bottom of what happened, and there will be accountability,” Barr said Monday, in addition to saying that officials would continue to investigate those involved with Epstein in the sexual abuse and exploitation of young girls according to WSJ.
His words came as FBI agents raided Epstein’s Virgin Island’s home Monday.
“Any co-conspirators should not rest easy,” Barr added. “The victims deserve justice, and they will get it.”

Who says you can’t commit suicide in less than 30 minutes?
That’s exactly what I said. The coroner, if not on the Clinton payroll, should check for NEEDLE MARKS anywhere on his body. There is too much of a coincidence! This man was murdered!
No surprise. Had to make it easy for someone to slip in, and hang him. Suspect he was dead before the hanging.
Arkancide on display….follow the paper trails…..arrest the others who were involved in this….but whomever is investigating this should have iron clad 24/7 tactical security with honest, ethical members on the details…
You can not be associated with the Clintons, British Royal family, billionaires, and any politicians without consequences when things are found to be corrupt. These girl witnesses will be paid off or killed and the case against Epstein will go away. This is the problem with corrupt people having too much power. They have their own justice.
Even though Epstein was a child pervert, I see the family trying a wrongful death law suit. But this is getting stranger and stranger.
If you do not think that Epstein was “offed,” you are dumber than a rock. Fifty something mysterious deaths linked to the Clinton’s now. No way they were ALL coincidentally linked to the Clinton’s.
It appears the ROT starts from the TOP of the Prisons department. Many Prison Officials are going down the Swamp Drain.!
HILLARY’D
This is the best comment so far!!
Once Again, nothing will happen -They will spend millions and on an investigation & no body will be held accountable for anything….I don’t no why I even read this article – Nothing will happen!
That’s a good thought! If they could find that out, that would be an absolute connection to the Clintons. I don’t about you, but if I were either Bill or Hillary, I’d want to find my own private island. When the heat gets too hot, you get out of the kitchen!
Hmmm . . . has anybody checked out that “substitute guard” to determine if he actually WORKED for the prison, or was he on the CLINTONS’ payroll as one of their “suicide arrangers?”
The sheets that he hung himself with from a bunk bed made of stone were paper. He was six foot tall and probably hanged himself from the bottom bunk. As quoted from “Casablanca”, round up the usual suspects.
Has anyone read an article or seen on the news the names of the warden and psychologist involved in this? I haven’t – I wonder why. Could it be a cursory internet search of these people could connect some dots?
Maxwell’s silver hammer will be coming down soon too. Better keep her safe.
Is the investigation all but over? Or… do they have the will to keep going? The most powerful among us, are the ones who are shaking in their boots. Be sure that they will do all they can to bring an end to this. Epstein’s death is meant to scare off those who would keep digging into the world wide abomination that is child sex slavery. My money says that the investigation will end rather quickly now.
Just a ‘coincidence’ of course. Was that pig I just saw fly by?
don’t forget there is also no video of that time either.
Very strange “Correction Officer” is not a correction officer…”required” cellmate is removed from cell…no one checks on a man who should have remained on “suicide watch” for several hours…very convenient. Seems like a lot of people who have unfortunate ties to “influential” people commit suicide. Very very sad.
Exactly! That’s why I said all the prostitutes used on that island should be worried. They could also be silenced.
Beginning with the guards!
You have to know that the body count is far from over. This thing is too big to contain. I predict that people involved are going to start falling like dominos.
I’m sure any of the young girls that were used as prostitutes on that island are also worried about assisted suicide (Arkancide) because they know too much. Are the Clintons going to murder all of them too?
Actually that is all the more reason to have them both visit Jimmy.
If ONLY. Nobody DARES “expend” the Clintons–they have TOO MUCH DIRT on the REST of the gators in the DC swamp!
They still have that little black book and ALL the girls to worry about. I wonder about the Clintons – have they now become expendable too?
This death is very convenient, isn’t it? Many prominent men are breathing easier today.
