I'm seeing folks insist that "given his high profile status," Epstein should not have been able to die by suicide. I'd like people to think about what that suggests about all the other folks who die by suicide in prison.

And before folks say he def should've been on suicide watch bc of his previous attempt, we should note that ppl are generally kept on suicide watch for a few days to a week in federal prison. Epstein's alleged attempt was weeks ago. So we aren't talking about standard conditions.
Suicide rates in prisons are disturbingly high, but newly released prisoners are also at high risk of suicide, because prisons are damaging, death-making institutions. Each year in a prison takes two years off a person's life expectancy.
With each yr in prison taking 2 years off a person's life, and millions of people moving through the system, incarceration has shortened the overall life expectancy in the U.S. by five years. And yet, most people are only talking about prison conditions today bc Epstein is dead.
