Two guards on duty the night of Epstein’s death later admitted to falsifying records at the time. The report indicated the Bureau of Prisons’ failings were troubling not only because they did not safeguard Epstein but also because they “led to numerous questions about the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death” and denied Epstein’s victims justice.
The politically and socially well-connected financier’s death immediately spurned conspiracy theories and significant questioning and intrigue over the circumstances. Then, in August, only 35 days after his arrest, Epstein died by suicide by hanging in his jail cell at New York City’s Metropolitan Correctional Center where he was being held, according to New York City’s medical examiner. “Likewise, none of the interviewed inmates provided any credible information that Epstein’s cause of death was something other than suicide.”Įpstein was arrested in July 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. “All (prison) staff members who were interviewed by the OIG said they did not know of any information suggesting that Epstein’s cause of death was something other than suicide,” the report states. The OIG, however, did not find evidence “that contradicted the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) determination regarding the absence of criminality in connection with how Epstein died,” according to the report. Approximately 3% of all students reported making a suicide attempt that required treatment by a doctor or nurse.The Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General on Tuesday issued a scathing rebuke of the Bureau of Prisons detailing the multiple failures that led to the death of high-profile financier Jeffrey Epstein following his arrest in 2019 but found no evidence to contradict the “absence of criminality” in his death.Īccording to the report, the failures that allowed Epstein time to die by suicide in his cell included multiple prison employees failing to conduct rounds and cell searches to check on Epstein, his access to extra bed linens – which he used to hang himself – and failure to assign Epstein a fellow inmate after he was placed on suicide watch. American Indian or Alaska Native students reported the highest rate of attempt (16%) with white students at 9%.
Female students attempted 1.86 times as often as male students (13% vs. Further breakdown by gender and race are not available.īased on the most recent Youth Risk Behaviors Survey from 2021, 10.0% of youth in grades 9-12 reported that they had made at least one suicide attempt in the past 12 months. Adult females reported a suicide attempt 1.33 times as often as males. This translates to approximately 1.7 million adults. In 2020, (the most recent year for which data are available), the rate of visits to the emergency departments for nonfatal self-harm injuries was approximately 146.6 per 100,000 people.īased on the 2021 National Survey of Drug Use and Mental Health it is estimated that 0.7% of the adults aged 18 or older made at least one suicide attempt. The CDC gathers data from hospitals on non-fatal injuries from self-harm as well as survey data. In the U.S., no complete count of suicide attempt data are available. Nonetheless, suicide occurs in all demographic groups. When it comes to suicide and suicide attempts there are rate differences depending on demographic characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity and race.
