2 guards suspended and warden reassigned after Epstein death

NEW YORK — Two guards assigned to watch Jeffrey Epstein the night he apparently killed himself in jail have been placed on leave and the warden has been removed as federal authorities investigate the financier's death, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

The announcement came amid mounting evidence that the chronically understaffed Metropolitan Correctional Center may have bungled its responsibility to keep the 66-year-old Epstein from harming himself while he awaited trial on charges of sexually abusing teenage girls.

Epstein was taken off a suicide watch last month for reasons that have not been explained, and was supposed to have been checked on by a guard every 30 minutes. But investigators learned those checks weren't done for several hours before he was found Saturday morning, according to a person familiar with the case.

That person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

1. It was probably all their fault - those 3. Yep.

2. Fall guys, low hanging fruit.

And what good does it do to check every 30 minutes? Once the prisoner figures out that schedule they can do what they need to do in 2 minutes.

3. Yeh, it was definitely their fault.

Solution: suspend two guards and reassign Warden. Takes care of the problem for the rest of eternity. Now, if we could only locate that pesky Ghislaine Maxwell.
