Originally posted by Adrift View PostYeah, it's definitely not unheard of,
About 8% of inmates in local jails were on suicide watch when they took their own lives, according to the 2010 report, which analyzed nearly 700 jail suicides in 2005 and 2006. While 93% of jails had a suicide watch protocol, fewer than 2% had the option for constant, around-the-clock observation; most facilities checked on inmates every 15 minutes.

Originally posted by seanD View PostI don't think you can compare other instances of carelessness with a high profile prisoner as Epstein. Possible, but seems highly unlikely, especially since he apparently tried it once before. If it was a conspiracy, the most likely scenario is that they allowed him to do it, maybe even persuaded him."If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

The day after the unsealing of the indictment involving people as powerful as British royalty? Not buying it."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by myth View PostOne should also examine other context. For instance, a friend of mine works in a high security prison. They regularly run shifts that are 50-70% staffed according to the stated "safe" level of staffing because the state won't give decent enough pay or benefits to convince people to work in the field. It doesn't matter how high profile your prisoner is if you're so short of staff that you can barely get the bare minimum of tasks done.
So, yeah, it's a matter of a human person walking by the cell on a regular basis and peeking in - and if that routine is too routine, it's not hard for a prisoner to time his demise accordingly.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Trump just retweeted a suggestion that Clinton was behind it. No links since I'm on my phone."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.
