As details continue to unfold, it’s reported the jail guards tasked with keeping a close eye on Epstein were asleep.
The New York Post reports:
A prison and law enforcement official told the New York Times late Tuesday that the guards were asleep when they failed to check on Epstein for about three hours before his death.
The jail guards are also suspected of falsifying the log entries to document when Epstein was checked on.
Epstein was not checked every 30 minutes as required by normal procedures. Also, he didn’t have a jail mate which he should have had because of a previous possible suicide attempt. It’s also reported there’s no video surveillance capturing his movements inside his prison cell.
The New York Times tweeted the latest developments.
