Yes, both cameras that watched the cell and hallway outside it had "technical difficulties" and there was no recoverable footage around the time of Epstein's death.

The camera showing the hallway outside his cell was working, and showed no one leaving or entering during the time period of his death.

  Do you have a source for that, because I've only ever heard that the camera outside his cell did not provide usable footage.

    Same, I read all cameras were "malfunctioning"

  The problem is that many jails are designed with lots of corridors and halls basically identical. I assume that recording that nothing happened could be as easy as put a number over a different door, (or pick the equivalent door in a different floor), record for a while, stop, remove the number tag, and swap the records.

    Yea, I'm sure the people who designed prison procedures didn't think of that before, rolls eyes

      Are those the same people that were unable to notice not one, but two cameras broken pointing to a very special recluse for an undefined amount of time? We could ask the smartest team of architects in the planet to design the most secure jail in the planet and then put idiots at charge. The security of the jail will vanish in a poof of "I couldn't care less about replacing this broken bulb"

        > Are those the same people that were unable to notice not one, but two cameras broken pointing to a very special recluse for an undefined amount of time? Did the people who design the prison also work there as security guards? Is that what you're asking? > We could ask the smartest team of architects in the planet to design the most secure jail in the planet and then put idiots at charge. The security of the jail will vanish in a poof of "I couldn't care less about replacing this broken bulb" What does this have to do with what you wrote? This actually sounds that you're arguing that it most likely was a suicide if everyone was so inept. Let me ask, how many times did something like this happen before, do you think, in the last 40 years or so?
