Not even back in the day. It had 9 seasons and ended in 2008.

Why the heck was it not raided when they went after the other places? Were they just being polite or something?
Now it's going to be the DOJ going full throttle against everyone in NY they want to attack. Perfect.
Why is Barr so adamant on finding justice for the Epstein case? There's no way it's in good faith
incompetence all around thisWhy the heck was it not raided when they went after the other places? Were they just being polite or something?

JUST IN: Attorney General William Barr says the Department of Justice has learned of "serious irregularities" at the federal facility where Jeffery Epstein died and that the department's Inspector General will "get the bottom of what happened."
AG Barr said the sex trafficking investigation that was being conducted remains important and that it will continue.
"Any co-conspirators should not rest easy," he said.

1. Last year, @JamesStewartNYT sat down with Jeffrey Epstein. The terms of the interview were that Epstein's remarks were to be on background, which meant that James couldn't attach his name. Now that Epstein is dead, that agreement is no longer binding https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-interview.html …

One of the two people guarding Jeffrey Epstein when he apparently hanged himself in a federal jail cell was not a full-fledged correctional officer, and neither guard had checked on Mr. Epstein for several hours before he was discovered, prison and law-enforcement officials said.
AP also reporting:
Why have a substitute watching over the most important prisoner at this facility? I get that they're understaffed but surely they could have moved the substitute elsewhere and got a regular to step in. Unless they had absolutely no one else, but that doesn't seem likely. Not like the other guard did his job either though so it may not have helped.
An eternity in hell should cover itwhat the fuck
i mean i know this was expected but i never thought i'd wake up to read that headline, it actually happened huh?
he should have faced justice and the people complicit in the horrific shit they did over the years need to too.
Eh. I mean you have CEO's and rich people kill themselves in stock crashes, this is worse. It's not a stretch to believe that he'd be suicidal. It's suspect as fuck that such an important prisoner wasn't looked at properly.I'd actually find it more likely that he's still alive and out there somewhere as a ghost than to believe he was able to off himself
What an interesting new way that "draining the swamp" is fucking us over. The butterfly effect.AP also reporting:
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 authorized to disclose information about the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.The person said Epstein hanged himself with a bedsheet, 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 Saturday.That's according to a second person who was not authorized to discuss the matter and also spoke on condition of anonymity.

Even with these places being underfunded and understaffed, you would think that this particular case would have been a special one.Oh, look, underfunding and understaffing these places can have disastrous consequences, who could've fucking guessed.
Oh, absolutely. Ignoring all the conspiracy theories, this whole thing is a demonstration of horrifying incompetence and rampant mismanagement of the system.Even with these places being underfunded and understaffed, you would think that this particular case would have been a special one.
Trump concludes his pre-flight media appearance by listing some questions he wants reporters to investigate about Bill Clinton's relationship with Epstein.
The New York City Fire Department is investigating whether a first responder posted about Jeffrey Epstein's death on a notorious internet message board prior to officials announcing it to the public, BuzzFeed News has learned.
Less than 40 minutes before ABC News first reported Epstein's death on Twitter, someone posted still-unverified details on 4chan, the anonymous message board popular with far-right trolls and white nationalists.
"[D]ont ask me how I know, but Epstein died an hour ago from hanging, cardiac arrest. Screencap this," read the post, which was published at 8:16 AM alongside an image of Pepe, the green frog that has become a mascot for the right-wing internet trolls.
That post was 38 minutes before the first tweet about Epstein's death was from Aaron Katersky, an ABC News reporter, at 8:54 AM. Five minutes later, the main ABC News account tweeted an article about Epstein's death.
After publishing the post, other 4chan users egged on the author. When they said they didn't believe that the information was true, the original poster added more information to the discussion thread, including a detailed breakdown of the procedures allegedly used to resuscitate Epstein, which suggest the poster may have been a first responder, medical worker, or otherwise privy to details about efforts to resuscitate the disgraced financier.
Frank Gribbon, a Deputy Commissioner for FDNY, told BuzzFeed News he "could not verify the accuracy" of information in the 4chan post. But he said any medical professional who divulges patient information without consent is in violation of a federal health privacy law, HIPPA, and that FDNY will investigate.
"The department will review this incident," he said.
The top official at the New York prison that had housed Jeffrey Epstein before his apparent suicide is being moved temporarily as the FBI and the Justice Department's inspector general investigate the circumstances of the death.
Two employees at the Metropolitan Correctional Center who had been assigned to Epstein's unit are also being placed on administrative leave, Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said, adding that "additional actions may be taken as the circumstances warrant."
"Moved temporarily"
"administrative leave"
"actions may be taken"
give me a fucking break
I hadn't vomited in years but you changed that
Lmao yup. Brand new prison guard that appears out of nowhere. I bet it was Sting in disguise, he got Jeffrey with the Stinger Splash.Good evening. I'm the new prison guard, Sue E. Cider. About time for you to clock out, isn't it?
Sure thing, Sue!

Prison workers expressed dismay at the decision to allow the warden to continue working.
"The warden made the call to take Epstein off suicide watch and to remove his cellmate. That is egregious." — Jose Rojas, Prison union official and teacher at Coleman prison in Florida

Is the warden a certified psychologist? Why the fuck does he have the authority to do that?
