Justice Dept watchdog blames prison staff negligence for Jeffrey Epstein's suicide.

The Justice Department's inspector general found that systemic negligence, misconduct, and overall under-resourcing among federal prison staff and facilities contributed to the conditions that enabled financier Jeffrey Epstein to die by suicide in his prison cell. The report identified "numerous and serious" instances of misconduct among prison staff, ranging from indifference to potentially illegal acts, that gave Epstein the opportunity to kill himself. The report also pointed to widespread problems across the Bureau of Prison and presented federal detention facilities as understaffed and lacking in supervision.
