4K pages of US Bureau of Prison documents released on Friday shine a light on Jeffrey Epstein's final days in prison and the response to his suicide in 2019 at the now-closed Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.
The documents, obtained by the Associated Press, contain a complete psychological profile of Epstein during his time in prison, as well as his medical history and internal Bureau documents that shed light on poor prison conditions and staff shortcomings.
The release of this trove of documents will finally dispel the conspiracies and innuendo surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein died as a result of the US Bureau of Prison's negligence, not at the hands of an assassin. These documents reveal a man who knew he would die behind bars and whose mental state was increasingly deteriorating, culminating in suicide.
This by no means closes the book on Epstein, and we have to keep investigating his life and dealings for the sake of his victims. The negligent prison guards are being investigated by the DOJ, with the investigation into his death being dragged out for over three years. Given his connections with the powerful, no stone can be left unturned. Our picture of Epstein's life — and interconnections — is woefully incomplete.
