After Jeffrey Epstein—the rich financier accused of running a pedophile sex ring—was found dead in his jail cell, a former NYPD commissioner questioned previous reports that Epstein was on a suicide watch.
Epstein was reportedly put into a cell by himself in the Protective Custody wing of the federal detention facility after an apparent suicide attempt on July 24. In that wing, being alone in a cell means solitary confinement and “solitary confinement is not a suicide watch,” said Bernard Kerik in a phone interview with The Epoch Times.
