   Since Epstein's death, we have heard of the MCC facility being woefully
   under-staffed.
   Okay, that may have been true.  But one of the simplest solution to
   that problem would
   have been for the Warden to put out an ad, on the Web, saying:
   "We are charged at MCC with keeping Jeffrey Epstein safe, but we don't
   have nearly
   enough personnel to do this.  Therefore, we ask for volunteers of
   police officers and
   ex-police officers to come in MCC and sit outside Epstein's cell, and
   check him very frequently,
   perhaps monitoring him continuously or every 2-3 minutes   We also
   request from the public
   donations of money to help pay for these professionals to monitor
   Epstein to ensure that he
   doesn't kill himself, or is killed by anyone else."
   Yes, I realize that this proposal is laughably obvious.  Now.  In
   'hindsight'  But why didn't it
   occur to the fools running the MCC?   There is not doubt that a large
   fraction of the population
    wanted to see Epstein dead...EVENTUALLY.   But, most of those probably
   wanted him to survive,
   at least until he implicated and helped convict his co-conspirators.
   So, there would probably have
   been hundreds of volunteers.
   I don't think any of the staff at MCC will be able to credibly explain
   why this solution wasn't tried.
