Jeffrey Epstein's death by suicide inside a federal jail put a spotlight on the high rate of suicides inside American jails.
Just two weeks after billionaire convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died of suicide inside a federal jail, yet another pretrial detainee jailed in a federal Bureau of Prisons facility has died in an apparent suicide, HuffPost has learned.
BOP’s statement said staffers tried to save Gonzalez’s life, but that he was pronounced dead by hospital staff on Sunday. Gonzalez, according to an official, was not on suicide watch but had been housed alone because he had previously threatened to harm any cellmate. Much like Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center , FDC Miami mainly holds pretrial detainees who have yet to be sentenced or those who have not yet been assigned a federal prison. The Miami facility, according to BOP’s website, was holding 1,008 people as of Monday.
Story continuesMost BOP inmates are individuals serving out sentences in prisons, where suicides are less likely than they are in jails. Many smaller federal districts outsource their pretrial detention to local authorities, but there are a number of federal districts with their own pretrial detention facilities.
