I'm the felonious bastard who's been chiming in on Epstein's untimely demise lately, having a whopping 7 months of Club Fed experience under my belt I felt it was my duty. I explained in earlier posts that I thought suicide was very unlikely and nearly impossible in a SHU cell, and that I don't think anyone "sprung" him...I'm pretty sure he's dead, and not by his own hand.
So I'm following this closer than some folks, I'm watching to see what parts of the story don't add up, and as you all know by now, there's quite a few. I'm guessing someone paid off the guards, like really paid them to take a walk for 10 minutes. A C.O. at the Manhattan MCC got busted last year taking 25 grand to smuggle shit in for some wealthy fuck...these guys don't make a lot of money, and $25,000 cash is a small fortune to them. We know the people who wanted Epstein dead are filthy rich, they wouldn't have had any problem paying MILLIONS to gain access to this guy. On graveyard shift, there were only 4 guards on SHU duty where I was (I doubt NY was much different); and if you'd given each one a suitcase full of c-notes I have no doubt they would have all taken their smoke-break at the same time.
The cameras are all controlled by the C.O. station, a little room in one corner of the unit...the guards split and you turn of the cameras, push another button to unlock a cell, then it's party time.
I had no doubt some of the C.O.s at my place "did favors" for certain inmates. We had a small group of Goodfella types from NY and Boston in there, and they were pretty comfortable...not quite like what you saw in the movie, but they lived pretty good. They had shit smuggled in for them, mostly small shit like tobacco, maybe a phone here and there, all stuff a guard could fit in his lunchbox. Cigarettes were worth up to $20 worth of commissary, EACH...no lie...so a carton had a "street value" of $4000, there was plenty of incentive. Funniest incident I recall was the Goodfellas getting caught with a George Foreman Grill in their cube...always wondered if a C.O. had to stuff that up his ass to get it in.
Anyway, I pulled up Eppy's "Inmate Locater" file just for fun and attached it...good for a chuckle. Looks like you can still put money in his commissary account and send him mail if you so desire.

Nothing personal, but Fed inmates are usually a better grade of criminal. I was in a minimum, so mostly non-violent drug offenders and white collar guys.
Smoking was strictly verbotten...30 days in the SHU if ya got caught, and toothpick rollies were 5 bucks...blue toilet paper wrapper, soaked in someone else's spit to stick together.
I quit smoking for 7 months.

You’re absolutely right about that. State prisons get all kinds of fucked up people, people that should be in mental institutions. In state they send you to a receiving prison first before you get sent to the prison where you’ll do the rest of your time at. That was the worst because they send everyone there first no matter what level you are. So you could be a level 1 drug offender without a violent bone in your body and you’re in there with guys that like to rape and kill people for fun. The level 1 I went to was in the city I live in and half the people in there were from that area so it was easy for inmates to get stuff in. If you’re in the FED and you get shipped to a different state then you’re gonna have a hard time even getting people to come visit you.

Yeah, I live in MA and got shipped to the hills of PA...that was a Godsend, real easy-going white COs who didn't fuck too much with us.
My co-defendant did 6 months in the joint Epstein was in, said it was horrifying. Black COs who tormented white inmates, freezing cold, bad food, rats and bugs.
All luck of the draw...I was lucky.
