Who took him off suicide watch? It had to be a psychiatrist or psychologist.

The psych tech can recommend easing restrictions and the circumstances of the suicide watch and even removal of suicide watch status, but the Watch Commander must approve.

Unless that Federal facility is way more jacked up than where I worked.

His suicide watch status is on the Watch Commander/Warden (whatever they call it).

I would think with the notoriety Epstein's case was, how politically prominent it would be, that the prison would obtain someone with MD after their name to determine if Epstein was a suicide risk. This was a federal prison, they could afford to pay an MD to evaluate. Having a tech determine the mental status of Epstein would be shocking.

I know recently he was three doors down from El Chapo. This was a high level facility.
