Jeffrey Epstein denied having any suicidal thoughts, despite some prison staffers noting signs of troubling behavior, according to newly released documents from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
In addition, BOP staff made a litany of procedural errors prior to the convicted pedophile and wealthy financier's death on August 10, 2019, the documents show.
According to the report, after a court proceeding on July 8, Epstein denied being suicidal but was placed on Psychological Observation -- less restrictive than Suicide Watch -- due to his risk factors. The next day, a BOP psychologist formally assessed Epstein's risk for suicide and determined he should remain under observation"out of an abundance of caution." On July 10, the report says Epstein was taken off Psychological Observation.
