An inmate locked up a few cells away from Epstein heard nothing out of the ordinary the morning of his death, according to the man's lawyer.
The incident came roughly three weeks after Epstein was found unconscious in his cell, with marks around his neck, in what authorities were investigating as a suicide attempt.
The FBI and Justice Department Inspector General have launched investigations into Epstein's death. But Tartaglione has not yet been contacted by investigators, Barket said. Epstein was placed under suicide watch after the incident last month, a protocol that called for him to be moved to a cell stripped of bed sheets, placed in special clothing and monitored more closely, according to multiple officials.
The conditions at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, also known as the MCC, have drawn numerous complaints from inmates over the years. Just last month, the notorious drug lord Joaquin"El Chapo" Guzman described his stint in a more restrictive unit than Epstein's as"physical, emotional and mental torture."
"Almost anybody would prefer to be in their permanent designation facility than locked up there under really inhumane conditions that can break a person's soul and crush their spirit," Fernich said.
