They don't have video surveillance in all cells like you see in movies, mainly because it's too costly. The cameras in the hallways though would show who was there before and after. The reality was he was on 30 minute rounds, even though they weren't followed that night, but that in itself tells you they didn't consider him high risk as most places use 15 minute staggered rounds for high risk inmates. Side note, he was taken off suicide watch before he did it so there were plenty of things he could have used to hang himself.

People always look to circumstances and believe they signal foul play, but in many instances circumstances create opportunities for suicidal people to off themselves. It is kind of funny though, if everyone in the world thinks a guy committing suicide is obviously foul play and that he was killed don't you think someone with the means to do such a thing would have known that too? Wouldn't it have made more sense to have an inmate in prison kill him? If you had "dirty guards" it would have been easier to have him stabbed by an inmate during transport to another part of the prison, and then you could easily have the inmate claim he wanted the fame of killing a child predator (which is a real thing in prison). 

I'm not on the conspiracy bandwagon yet, but it's not an unreasonable jump.

This has to be the most high-profile suicide-prone federal prisoner in decades, with the power to finger some very high ranking politicians.  He tries to kill himself, then in a few weeks he's "ok"?  Sure. Stick him in a room with no cameras. (They're expensive.)

That others might be highly motivated to kill Epstein is not "proof," but it does beg investigation.

I don't think every suicide merits investigation. I do think hiring another inmate to kill him could be the most risky and least successful way to kill someone as closely watched as Epstein.   A "suicide" which is successful on the second attempt can be defended/ambiguated much more easily.

Or so it seems.  Maybe not.  We'll see. Perhaps.
