Thanks, Lee.
1. When was Epstein taken off suicide watch?
2. How long was he on suicide watch?
3. What unit in the jail was he housed?
4. Was he by himself?
5. What's his protocol for watching him at 6:30 in the morning? And in general during a 24 hour period?

7. Are there surveillance cameras? If so what do they show?
8. What did he use to hang himself?
