How Corrupt Are Things at the Metropolitan Correctional Center Where Jeffrey Epstein Was Held?

Metropolitan Correctional Center

The New York Post reports:

The jail where Jeffrey Epstein apparently hanged himself was a nest of corruption in the early ’90s, according to one of late mobster John Gotti Sr.’s top associates — who insists it’s still a place where almost anything can be bought if you have the bucks.


“If he killed himself someone had to have helped him,” said Lewis Kasman, a onetime close confidant of the Dapper Don who visited the godfather several times at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in 1992.

“There are cameras going 24/7 and they’re watching 24/7. Someone had to give [Epstein] the equipment to kill himself and he had to pay for it dearly,” said Kasman, who has kept abreast of conditions in the lockup.

Kasman added: “That facility for years had issues of corruption, with correction officers bringing in food or cellphones for wealthy people.”

The former Gambino bean counter noted that Gotti, who did time both in the jail’s 9 South and 10 South units, its most secure wings, still managed to get his favorite steak dinner sneaked in: “He had Peter Luger’s whenever he wanted.”

This rings true to me about even current conditions.

An acquaintance who was fairly recently housed at MMC for awhile was friends with a very wealthy individual who was also there. If you follow the news very closely, you would know who the wealthy person is but you would have to follow the news very closely.

My acquaintance ate very well when the wealthy individual was there with him, he had food catered in every day.

Thus, it seems very possible that Epstein could have gotten items in MCC to commit suicide. On the other hand, it would be expensive but someone could have been slipped in to help Epstein with his "suicide."
