The Justice Department's Inspector General has released a report concluding that negligence and misconduct enabled Jeffrey Epstein to take his own life in a federal jail in New York City while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The report found that systemic negligence, misconduct, and under-resourcing among federal prison staff and facilities contributed to Epstein's death, and recommended that the Bureau of Prisons take steps to improve its monitoring of inmates and ensure that staff are properly trained and equipped.
