So who was the irregular prison guard?
Conspiracies... a bad word again.
Quote:Shrieking heard from Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell the morning he died.CBS:
'CBS News has learned that the morning of Jeffrey Epstein's death there was shouting and shrieking from
his jail cell. Guards attempted to revive him while saying "breathe, Epstein, breathe."
Congress is the latest to start investigating Epstein's apparent suicide over the weekend, with new reports
raising questions about the federal jail where he was being held. One of Epstein's guards at the Metropolitan
Correctional Center on the night he died was reportedly not a regular corrections officer.
On Monday, Attorney General William Barr criticized the detention center where the disgraced financier was held.
"We will get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability," Barr said. "I was appalled and frankly
angry to learn of the MCC's failure to adequately secure this prisoner."
Government investigators raided the alleged sex trafficker's private island in the Virgin Islands Monday.
With Epstein gone, potential co-conspirators involved in his alleged sex-trafficking network are shifting into focus.
British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is one of four women accused of recruiting underage girls for sex. She's denied
those claims in the past and has not been charged with a crime. Maxwell is said to be Epstein's ex-girlfriend turned
business associate. Her current location is unknown.
"She was more of a partner in his obsession, really," said Miami Herald reporter Julie Brown, who spent more than
two years looking into Epstein's controversial 2008 plea deal. "And there are allegations that she was involved in
having sex with some of these girls as well."
Court documents from 2011 reveal Epstein controlled several apartments in a building just blocks from his $77
million New York townhouse and allegedly housed "underage girls from all over the world."
Barr also issued a stern warning for anyone who may be evading justice: "Let me assure you that this case will continue
on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein. Any co-conspirators should not rest easy. The victims deserve justice
and they will get it."
CBS News has learned that Epstein's estranged brother Mark was called and he identified Epstein's body.
The New York City Medical Examiner's office has performed an autopsy, but the results are still pending.
In an interview with our West Palm Beach affiliate WPEC, a former Florida corrections worker said Epstein was "treated
like a celebrity" during his 13-month stint in a county jail after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to charges of soliciting a minor for
prostitution.
She claims his cell was regularly left unlocked and she saw him move freely through the dormitory area –sometimes completely
naked –without repercussions...'

Quote:Jeffrey Epstein prison suicide: Source says guard wasn’t correctional officerHerald Sun:
'A person familiar with operations at the federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself says one
of the two people guarding him the night he died wasn’t a correctional officer.
The person wasn’t authorised to disclose information about the investigation and spoke on condition of
anonymity. The person detailed how Epstein took his life, days after being taken off a suicide watch.
Federal prisons facing shortages of fully trained guards have resorted to having other types of support
staff fill in for correctional officers, including clerical workers and teachers. Jail policy called for guards
to check Epstein every 30 minutes, but investigators have learned those checks weren’t done for several
hours in the hours before he was discovered on Saturday.
That’s according to a second person who was not authorised to discuss the matter and also spoke on
condition of anonymity.
