Jeffrey Epstein Found Injured in Manhattan Jail Cell
Investigators are reportedly trying to determine whether the wealthy sex offender was assaulted or attempted to harm himself.
Accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was found injured and in a fetal position in his cell at a Manhattan jail on Tuesday, according to sources cited by NBC New York, which first reported on the incident. Investigators are reportedly trying to get to the bottom of what happened, but the wealthy sex offender was said to have been semi-conscious when he was found.
After initially being put into the general population at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Epstein had been moved to solitary protective custody after other inmates had threatened him, a source familiar with his conditions had previously told The Daily Beast.
Two sources cited by NBC said he may have attempted to hang himself, while another source suggested the injuries were so minor that he may have simply been trying to get himself transferred. An assault has also not been ruled out, with a fourth source saying a former police officer serving time on drug and murder charges has been questioned.
The New York Post, quoting sources, said Epstein had injuries to his neck.
Epstein’s lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
But Bruce Barket, an attorney for another inmate on the same unit, told The Daily Beast that his law partner saw Epstein and his attorneys at the MCC on Wednesday morning “and he looked fine.”
Barket said a report that his client, Nick Tartaglione, had been questioned about a possible assault on Epstein was inaccurate. He alleged that his name was leaked by someone at the jail in retaliation for complaints about “hellhole” conditions there.
“They know each other and have gotten along well,” Barket said of his client and Epstein.
Epstein has been locked up at the MCC since he was arrested July 6 after arriving back in the United States from France.
He asked to be released on bail and put on house arrest at his $77 million Manhattan mansion, offering to pay for security cameras and armed guards and to let a “trustee” live there with him.
But U.S. District Judge Richard Berman shot down the request earlier this week, finding that Epstein was a flight risk and unable to control his sexual urges. Epstein’s team has since filed papers to appeal that decision.
Barket said both his client and Epstein are in the Special Housing Unit, where restrictions compound what he described as “inhumane” conditions across the entire MCC—including insect and rodent infestation, dirty linens, and broken equipment.

My comments :
1. Epstein might be afraid - and rightly so - that he will be sacrificed by (a part of) all those people, that he (and his supervisors) tried to blackmail so long, by inviting them in his premises and giving them a (compromising) 'VIP treatment', that consequently will have been secretly recorded.
2. The problem for all his wealthy clients ('friends') will be, that the secret recordings with highly compromising content, will not disappear once they will have made Epstein disappear, but will undoubtedly be used in the future by the Mossad and the like.
3. Nevertheless : Epstein will have good reason, to fear for his life, so it will be understandable, if and when he would try to mould circumstances within the USA prison system in such a way and manner, that he might increase his chances to survive his presence over there.
4. He will realise by now, that especially within the prison-system he will be extremely vulnerable to all kinds of dangerous attacks, that might cause his death (without the authorities even will be able (or willing) to determine the cause of death).
5. Attacks on his life from within the system, against which he - miraculously - will not be protected by the prison staff.
6. He might try to organise his own protection by bribing staff and/or "hiring' some inmates, but he will be uncertain (and so will his protection force) whether he will be able to pay them, because his fortune has finally become a field of special interest by the fraud units of the FBI etc.
7. For now he might have succeeded of manipulating his way towards a suicide watch, which regime might offer him a certain protection against attackers from within the prison population, but he will soon find out, that he might also be in danger by (some members of) the prison-staff as well.
8. The fact that he - in spite of the publication of the Julie K. Brown articles in November - might have thought that he might still have been untouchable - and kept on travelling as if nothing had happened - does speak volumes about the way he assumed to be protected by his supervisors all these years.
