A brief TwitterThread
It is entirely possible to recognize that Epstein’s death was desired by powerful implicated figures, while also recognizing that Epstein’s death would be aided by the systemic failures pervading our judicial system.

In order for Jeffery Epstein to die, James Bond didn’t need to infiltrate the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Occam’s Razor tells us the simplest answer is usually correct.

In this case, the simplest answer is that someone was nudged to look the other way, while Epstein was nudged to consider the consequences facing him.

For a man used to spending his entire life ignoring any and all consequences, aided by the society he lived in, to be held accountable would be the grossest violation. It would unmoor his personal foundations.

For an employee responsible for a notorious pedophile, looking the other way, especially if you thought death is what he deserved, would be second nature. Our prison system prioritizes retribution. Think of Oz, Orange is the New Black. All emphasize the inhumanity of prison life.

We are taught from an early age in America that whatever happens to you in prison is deserved, no matter how terrible, because all rights are relinquished once you enter. “Don’t drop the soap.”

In that reality, it’s an easy leap to think that Jeffery Epstein was reminded of how bad things could get by those he chose to represent him, and that he was allowed to pursue the natural endpoint by those who didn’t care about his well-being, and were in a position to (not) act.

Long story short - I want to know who Epstein’s lawyers were talking to leading up to their client’s death. I want to know the degree of separation between them and other implicated figures. I want to know if they discharged their ethical duty, or another duty entirely.

Above all, I want our prison system to change. For-profit prisons are a disgrace to any rational thinking mind, and it’s past time we reckoned with that horror. The science is clear. Rehabilitation works, not retribution. We need to move past our Calvinist roots.

For profit prisons are illegal in the State of New York where this took place, so I'm not sure how much that would've done anything here. Nevertheless, you are definitely correct that our prison system is ass backwards.

I mean, there’s “for profit” on the books, and then there’s “for profit” in the wallet.

I'm just talking about the specific case of Epstein's death, which wasn't even in a prison. We both agree that the prison system is fucked, rehabilitation is better than incarceration, and for profit prisons are a weapon of white supremacy.
