"3906 prison suicides occurred during 2011–14 in the 24 high-income countries..."

Okay, so not all the time.

From CNN a few minutes ago:
Quote:
People familiar with the autopsy report told the newspaper the bones broken in Epstein's neck included the hyoid bone, which is near the Adam's apple.
This sort of break can happen when a person hangs themselves or dies by strangulation, forensics experts told the Post.
Epstein, 66, was found dead in the special housing unit of the federal Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York on Saturday. He was in a cell by himself.
The multimillionaire hedge fund manager had been jailed since early last month, awaiting trial on federal charges accusing him of operating a sex trafficking ring from 2002 to 2005 at his Manhattan mansion and his Palm Beach estate in which he paid girls as young as 14 for sex. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Two prison staff members who'd been guarding the unit where Epstein died by apparent suicide failed to check on him that night for about three hours, The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing several law enforcement and prison officials with knowledge of the investigation.
Officials have cautioned to CNN that they don't know what the staff members were doing during that time and are still trying to pin that down.

Misreading between the lines one could imagine both of them were involved in the process. Smile

Yes, that was the article where I got the 10-20 per 100,000 inmates in federal lock-up figure. See the graph.

I may have missed it but that article says nothing about suicides while incarcerated. It seems to imply that those accused of child sex crimes have a higher rate of suicide, but the case it highlights was of a man who committed suicide while not in prison. I don't know that that is relevant to this discussion. Maybe motive. But I think we're talking about means here.

"North American countries had rates ranging from 23 to 67 suicides per 100 000 prisoners." says that study, which basically correlates with the figure for *all* (not just federal) US lock-ups cited in the first source.

No, you didn't miss it. Point is, it happens a lot more often than people realize.

It is also not in general those who are mentally well adjusted who go to prison in the first place.

Exactly. Especially for someone like Epstein was alleged to have been.

I haven't watched the news in years and had to do a wiki-search to find out what you are all talking about.

... and yes I am happy.
I still recall the day I met Beaker from the Muppets. He said to me "Meep, meep, mee mee mee Meep!", and that has made all the difference.

Hmph.
As hard as it is to swallow,
Mr. Epstein died an innocent man.

He hasn't even been found guilty of 'suicide', yet.
(A crime in the State of N.Y.)

If 'Justice' is what everyone is seeking,
for 'the victims';
the innocent children.....
maybe their parents should be brought into the picture(?).

Where were they,
while their children were out being 'abused'?

Not to mention, what became of the large sums of money,
allegedy paid.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ö . . ö ö

As far as any 'Investigation':
isn't it just going to end with,
the way the discussion started:
"I don't believe it!" ?

.....unless of course,
we hear what we want to hear.

p.s: The 'news' gets better at 'reporting' Storys,
...but the Storys don't change much,
do they.....
Kind of like the weather.
Man,,..and how they struggle with that!

Sorry, no 'links' to confirm my thoughts,...
they are just that,..
my thoughts.

Still capable,
Gallagher

Having an undereducated misinformed public is practically essential for political success.

Just heard on the current news that the coroner concluded that Epstein's demise was a suicide. But many skeptics won't be satisfied, will they?
