When convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell, questions over how this could have been allowed to happen began immediately.

When convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell at the Metropolitan Correction Center in New York City Saturday, questions over how this could have been allowed to happen began immediately.

But Epstein's death immediately brought into question the basic infrastructure of the prison system and highlighted potential flaws in its foundation. That report is often used by the federal courts to determine the sentencing guidelines of a particular prisoner. Once sentenced, that report get transferred to the BOP which uses that -- along with its own reporting system -- to create a risk assessment of a prisoner.

But if an inmate is placed at an institution that is more than 500 miles from his or her release residence it is generally due to specific security, programming or population concerns. The same criteria also applies when making decisions for both initial designation and redesignation for transfer to a new facility.

Medium-security FCIs and some United States Penitentiaries are classified to hold medium-security inmates. The medium facilities have strengthened perimeters, which often consist of double fences with electronic detection systems. Medium-security facilities mostly have cell housing. If a prisoner has a fear, threat, discipline or health issue the prisoner can request, or BOP can opt to place them in, a Special Housing Unit , which is where Epstein was located within the MCC.

Prison Guards On Jeffrey Epstein's Unit Worked Extreme Overtime On Morning He DiedThe Bureau of Federal Prisons has faced mounting scrutiny following the death of Jeffrey Epstein at a New York jail. Not to be an a$$hole, but why does this POS deserve any of this posthumous attention? Bury him. Move on. How incredibly convenient as a cover for what happened. Epstein was one of the three most high profile detainees in detention in this country. We only had two overtired underpaid guards for this job? Pulllllease. I call total BS. Egalitarism? Not in US backyard.
