As someone who's overseen a lot of jail and prison reporting:
*understaffing is epidemic
*suicide is also
*"pencil-whipping" logs is common
*no surprise that MCC had history of all those things
None of that totally explains death of most prominent federal detainee in country

BOP should have been able to call on any resources to ensure he was kept alive. Decisions about his custody should have been made at highest levels, and with extra caution, even before 1st attack/attempt.
So yes, hopefully this case get public attention on the shitty/overcrowded/understaffed conditions in jails and prisons.
But nobody should come at this as if his case wouldn't/shouldn't have been handled differently than most.
