UK Daily Mail "Corrections officers at a New York prison where Jeffrey Epstein was being held are accused of falling asleep on the job and falsifying logs to make it appear as if they checked on the billionaire pedophile on the night of his apparent suicide.
"The Metropolitan Correctional Center's two guards claimed to have checked on Epstein every 30 minutes, but had actually been asleep for up to the three hours, officials familiar with the ongoing probe told The New York Times.
"Epstein is believed to have killed himself early Saturday at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, where he was awaiting trial in a sex trafficking case.
"The abrupt death of the 66-year-old disgraced financier cut short a criminal prosecution that threatened to implicate some of the world's richest, most powerful men. . . .
. . . "In the days since Epstein's death a portrait has begun to emerge of Manhattan's federal detention center as a chronically understaffed facility that possibly made a series of missteps in handling its most high-profile inmate.
"The American Federation of Government Employees claims workers there often work a double shift of 16 hours.
"They can then be forced to work another hour or two if their relief does not arrive arrived and those who refuse the 'mandatory overtime' faces disciplinary action.
"Gregg, president of AFGE Local 3148, told The Daily Beast: 'That is our normal. At some point, people are going to break." . . .
