The ex-convict, who spoke to The Post\u2019s Brad Hamilton and Bruce Golding on the condition of anonymity, spent several months in the 9 South special housing unit for high-profile prisoners awaiting trial \u2014 like Epstein.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>There\u2019s no way that man could have killed himself. I\u2019ve done too much time in those units. It\u2019s an impossibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Between the floor and the ceiling is like eight or nine feet. There\u2019s no way for you to connect to anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>You have sheets, but they\u2019re paper level, not strong enough. He was 200 pounds \u2014 it would never happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>When you\u2019re on suicide watch, they put you in this white smock, a straight jacket. They know a person cannot be injurious to themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8230;But it\u2019s my firm belief that Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide. It just didn\u2019t happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2019\/08\/10\/rudy-giuliani-epsteins-alleged-suicide-very-questionable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Breitbart<\/a> reported yesterday:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Rudy Giuliani reacted to Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s alleged suicide Saturday morning, asking a series of questions about his death and stating, \u201cCommitting suicide on suicide watch doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Authorities found the convicted pedophile dead in his cell early Saturday morning, according to several reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Epstein committed suicide via hanging, according to reports from the\u00a0<em><a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/08\/10\/nyregion\/jeffrey-epstein-suicide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\">New York Times<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/jeffrey-epstein-accused-sex-trafficker-dies-suicide-officials\/story?id=64881684\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer\">ABC News<\/a>.

Who was watching? Did they fall asleep? Did the camera malfunction? Was there camera surveillance? Who was he about to implicate?\u201d Giuliani tweeted Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday Bernie Kerik, former first deputy and commissioner of the New York City Department of Corrections and former commissioner of the New York (City) Police Department, posted an article at <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/criminal-justice\/456965-jeffrey-epsteins-suicide-makes-no-sense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hill<\/a> about the death of Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner Kerik notes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The crime here \u2014 in my mind, with what is known at this point \u2014 is that Epstein was placed in solitary confinement at all. The government often uses every tool in its power to ensure you never have a fair day\u2019s fight in court, including the use of psychological tools to force you to plead guilty or to force you to cooperate with the government.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Solitary confinement is one of those tools. It is a mechanism to demean, degrade and demoralize a prisoner. The mind-altering seclusion of \u201csolitary\u201d will force a prisoner into a deep depression from which, for some, there is no return.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Only time will tell if that\u2019s what happened with Epstein or if something more sinister occurred.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>But one thing already is crystal clear: There are flaws and failures in the U.S. criminal justice system that should disturb all of us. And in Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s case, none of it makes any sense.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right now we have questions, not answers. Hopefully in the future we will get some answers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, Jeffrey Epstein, an inmate at Metropolitan Correction Center in lower Manhattan, was found unresponsive in his cell.
