Negligence, misconduct and job performance failures all contributed to the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious financier who was jailed for child-sex trafficking charges, while in jail in 2019, according to a new report by the U.S. Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General.
Systemic problems at the Federal Bureau of Prisons as well as several issues at New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center, the jail in which Epstein was incarcerated when he died, contributed to one of the BOP's most high profile inmates taking his own life, the report released Tuesday said.
