The guards assigned to check on the cell of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were working “extreme overtime shifts” in order to make up for staffing shortages on the morning of the late financier’s “apparent suicide.” There is also reportedly no surveillance video of Epstein’s death.
A person familiar with the jail’s operations told The Associated Press that the Metropolitan Correctional Center’s Special Housing Unit—where Epstein was being held—was staffed with one guard who had worked a fifth straight day of overtime.
