Because he’s the most important prisoner in the country is why. You don’t leave that up to chance. You don’t apply normal prisoner rules to a guy that is going to be naming very important names during his trial and depending on what he says could unseat the sitting president or destroy the reputation of a previous one. Normal rules don’t apply, what happened was calculated and meant to. If this isn’t investigated as a murder it’s absurd. I’m sure lots of palms were greased though.
But the normal rules of human laziness and incompetence apply in every situation. You really think anyone wants to sit there watching someone 24 hrs a day? They'll look for any excuse to not have to do that anymore.
And here's a good excuse: if the prison shrinks said they didn't think he was a risk, then their asses were covered and they knew it.
So far as Epstein "implicating" someone, that's just speculation on your part. It would never have gotten Epstein any benefit to do so, nor would it have resulted in any convictions. Wouldn't have even been much damage to reputation either, not with Epstein as the only accuser. Everyone knows that Epstein would implicate anyone if it meant he didn't have to spend the rest of his life in jail. The man had zero credibility. This is far too weak a motive to take the risk of conspiring with prison officials. Getting caught doing that would incur a vastly worse penalty than anything Epstein could ever have said. Bribing someone is always a risk. They can refuse (or accept) the bribe and report it, implicating either the principle or his surrogate, who would then implicate the principle. Too much risk for so little reward.
Bottom line is that the man was damaged goods and the logical thing would have been to just let him rot.
