DOJ watchdog report reveals negligence and misconduct in Jeffrey Epstein's death.

Staff at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York committed "significant misconduct," including potentially criminal behavior, that allowed Jeffrey Epstein to die by suicide in 2019, according to a report by the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General. The report found that staff failed to assign Epstein a new cellmate after he had been placed on suicide watch, failed to adequately supervise the Special Housing Unit where Epstein was held prior to his death, and neglected to ensure the facility's security camera system could record video, among other missteps. The report also found that Epstein was permitted special accommodations not afforded to other prisoners, including the ability to make an unmonitored, unrecorded phone call the night before he died.
