Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Newly uncovered metadata reveals that nearly three minutes of footage were cut from what the US Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation described as “full raw” surveillance video from the only functioning camera near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The video was released last week as part of the Trump administration’s commitment to fully investigate Epstein’s 2019 death but instead has raised new questions about how the footage was edited and assembled.

    I would guess that most of the time when a prisoner kills themselves it’s when they don’t have a cellmate. A cellmate is probably likely to stop someone or to call the guards, rather than just watch someone die.

      Yes, which is why it was protocol that Epstein be assigned a cellmate specifically to reduce the chance of him committing suicide and a new cellmate should have been transferred in if the other one was scheduled to be removed for legitimate reasons
