THE warden in charge of the jail where Jeffrey Epstein took his life in his jail is being promoted, it has emerged.
Lamine N’Diaye is being given a management role at a new jail despite Attorney General Bill Barr’s demand that he reassigned to a desk job.
Epstein took his own life in August while awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused girls as young as 14 and young women in New York and Florida in the early 2000s.
His suicide cast a spotlight on the Bureau of Prisons and highlighted a series of safety lapses inside the Manhattan Correctional Cente, a high-security unit that’s one of the most secure jails in America.
The wealthy pedophile’s death has been ruled suicide by hanging by the New York City medical examiner but others have cast doubt on the finding.
The include New York City’s former chief medical examiner Dr Michael Baden, who points to burst capillaries in the fiend’s eyes as a big clue to him being manually strangled.
The federal Bureau of Prisons is planning to move N’Diaye to the role at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison in Burlington County, New Jersey, AP reports.
