Harvey Weinstein won't become the next Jeffrey Epstein behind bars if NYC's DOC can help it.
High-ranking officials at NYC's Department of Corrections tell TMZ ... there's anxiety running through the ranks about another"Epstein Incident" and the scrutiny that would follow if HW offed himself on their watch, which is why an action plan is in place.
For starters, we're told one possibility is that Weinstein will be housed in a private section of Rikers Island's North Infirmary Command, which is for high-profile inmates or guys with health issues -- Harvey fits both. He could land in the"ANNEX," with the other dudes falling apart. Once he's there and all checked in, our sources say HW will probably get his own cell with round-the-clock surveillance cameras watching his every move. And when he's out walking around, we're told he'll have DOC officials escorting him. There's a reason for that.
