@snoopydawg Only one got a probated sentence. From the jury.
And the victim was an adult.
Child victim? Forget it.

How many other people would have gotten that deal after doing what he did to so many girls? No one. Period. Even people who are in a minimum security prison for wealth fraud don't get to leave every day to go to work. And what about asset forfeiture? I would think that would have come into play.

So one camera outside his cell malfunctioned. How many more cameras are in the area where they can be examined to see if anyone came by that night or if the guards did their jobs for other prisoners? Unless there is a full investigation into his death including the cameras I'm going with he was either killed or was smuggled out of the prison. Epstein said that he was attacked the first time and did not try to commit suicide.

@snoopydawg

In an email on the day Epstein reported to jail, Capt. Mark Chamberlain wrote that the new inmate was a person of “unusual means” and expressed concerns that other prisoners might try to extort or manipulate him.

“His financial status lends itself to his being victimized while in custody and as such, he has been placed in special management,” Chamberlain wrote. “He is poorly versed in jail routine and society and his adjustment to incarceration will most likely be atypical. For the time being, I am authorizing that his cell door be left unlocked and he be given liberal access to the attorney room where a TV will be installed.”

If the concerned Captain thought poor mistreated Epstein might be taken advantage of by the horrible guilty bad people in there with him, why allow all those horrible guilty bad people to freely walk in to his cell?

Side note: They allowed him his own private TV, and specially installed it, just for him in the attorney room. So disgusting!

Side Note 2 re his supposed medical need to ejaculate 3x/day: I've heard no reports or seen any photos showing he had no hands, so he easily could have taken care of that himself. There may be science purporting health benefits of a man ejaculating regularly (though I've got no link right now -- and I thought it was 3x/week, not per day); however, I'd bet my abysmal bank balance that the study did NOT claim an underage girl is required in order to facilitate the deed so as to reap the benefits of said ejaculation. Jfc!

NEW: Why was Jeffrey Epstein allowed to purchase small women’s panties from the Palm Beach jail? ⁦@Blaskey_S⁩ & ⁦@NickNehamas⁩https://t.co/JibdOiNT9L

Why was Jeffrey Epstein allowed to purchase small women’s panties from the Palm Beach jail?

A decade ago, during a brief stint in Palm Beach County Jail, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein made an odd purchase at the facility’s store: two pairs of small women’s panties, size 5.

It was just one of thousands of dollars of purchases made by the disgraced financier while in jail after pleading guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor for sex, according to a purchase log. (His top purchase was single-serve cups of coffee, of which he bought more than 800 in 13 months.) But the panties raise questions about why a childless male inmate, accused of sexually abusing girls as young as 14, would be allowed to buy female undergarments so small that they wouldn’t fit an average-sized adult woman.

The panties were certainly too small for Epstein, who also purchased his briefs in men’s medium and sweatshirts ranging from XL to 3XL, and size-12 shoes. So what, or who, were they for, and why wouldn’t the purchase raise eyebrows under the circumstances? It’s one of many questions that arise from thousands of pages of records obtained by the Miami Herald from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

The stockade held male and female inmates, separately, explaining why the panties would be stocked.

On Friday, the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office, which runs the jail and stockade, handed out the records of his stay, during which he was allowed to leave the stockade in a chauffeur-driven car and deposited at a downtown West Palm Beach office building for a 12-hour-a-day, six-day-a-week respite from incarceration.

Let's reconsider some of the aspects of Epstein's plea deal.

That investigation is separate from the Justice Department probe looking at why then-federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta decided to shelve a 53-page sex trafficking indictment against Epstein, which could have put him away for life.

Just why would a federal prosecutor take part in a case that was only local? Hmm, Ken? Answer..he would have because the case was actually global and there were many people involved with it that wouldn't want their names to go public. Epstein helped put away two people from Bear Stearns, but everyone else got immunity.

What’s clear from the Palm Beach sheriff’s records is that Epstein’s wealth provided him extraordinary privileges during his 13-month stay in Palm Beach stockade from June 30, 2008 to July 22, 2009 — an unlocked cell door, almost unlimited access to a TV, and a perhaps uniquely generous work release program that meant he spent almost as much time outside the jail as in it.

The longer he stayed, the cushier things got. Six-day-a-week work release was extended to seven. Hours outside the cell were extended from 12 to 16. He was permitted to pass some of the time at home. Records that once referred to him as an inmate now called him “client.”

Oh boo hoo!

In an email on the day Epstein reported to jail, Capt. Mark Chamberlain wrote that the new inmate was a person of “unusual means” and expressed concerns that other prisoners might try to extort or manipulate him.

“His financial status lends itself to his being victimized while in custody and as such, he has been placed in special management,” Chamberlain wrote. “He is poorly versed in jail routine and society and his adjustment to incarceration will most likely be atypical. For the time being, I am authorizing that his cell door be left unlocked and he be given liberal access to the attorney room where a TV will be installed.”

Im betting that every person who has to do time in prison is poorly versed, but doesn't get special considerations when they arrive at prison.

Bradley Edwards, an attorney for some of the women who accuse Epstein of having recruiters lure girls to his Palm Beach estate for massages that turned into sexual assaults, has alleged that Epstein used his work release hours to engage in sexual exploits behind closed doors. A release of court records earlier this month quoted a young female college student allegedly recruited by Epstein’s associates saying he required “three orgasms a day” to function. “It was biological. Like eating,” she said Epstein told her.

The record of who visited Epstein while on work release — a daily log maintained by deputies and tucked away in a safe — has been destroyed. Explaining that decision, the sheriff’s office cited legally prescribed retention schedules that allowed for the book’s destruction. But many records from that time remain for investigators to examine, including the thousands of pages of just-released records.

Would anyone be surprised if that actually did happen? Who was watching what Epstein was doing during his time away from prison? If he did need to have 3 orgasms a day then why wouldn't he have hired someone to help him with it?

Ya think?

The arrangement came to the attention of Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Marie Villafaña, who wasn’t pleased. On July 3, 2008, she wrote a letter to PBSO Deputy Chief Mike Gauger that letting Epstein spend time in a private office “making telephone calls, web-surfing, and having food delivered to him is probably not in accordance with the objectives of imprisonment.”

Villafaña noted that the and asserted that the financier had misrepresented details about the made-to-order charity where he purportedly worked while on work release.

Work release programs are meant to help inmates maintain their lives outside jail walls and reintegrate into society. But Epstein’s was loaded with perks.

Was this why Epstein was arrested in June? I have been wondering why he was and why no one gave him a heads up that it was going to happen.

Since the Herald published ‘Perversion of Justice’ in November 2018, a federal judge ruled the non-prosecution agreement brokered by then South Florida U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta was illegal, Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges in New York state,

Who authorized this?

The first version of Epstein’s work release agreement showed he was not to leave his workplace for any reason, “with the exception of returning to the PBSO stockade, or for emergency medical treatment.” Epstein, the document added, “cannot leave for lunch.”

But a revised version filed 13 days after he he began his work release changed that language to read simply that Epstein could leave his place of employment “only if authorized by [PBSO’s] Alternative Custody Unit.”

The alteration allowed Epstein to make at least 69 doctors’ visits in six months, records show. Many of the trips were to a chiropractor in Lake Worth. Epstein would go as many as three times a week. Sometimes he would have more than two medical appointments the same day. He had so many appointments that off-duty deputies monitoring him had a hard time keeping them straight, the records show.

Gee..how many people currently in prison wouldn't give their back teeth to be able to leave prison to go see a chiropractor?

If you haven't read any of Julie's other work I highly recommend you read Perversion of Justice. I essayed it when I read it because I was appalled and wanted to share my incredulity with others. Why should I suffer alone?

I want answers for the many questions I have surrounding Epstein's death as well as see the others involved with his sordid lifestyle brought to justice for all the women who have been affected by those people no matter who they are or how powerful they are.
