Some dumb questions about Epstein in jail.

Would Epstein have access to prescribed tranquilizers?

Do you think he is in panic mode or given his welath and privelege does he feel that his attorneys and friends in high places be able to work the system?

If you were a billionaire and were facing what he's facing what would be your frame of mind?

They would do a psych eval to determine whether or not he is at risk for self-harm, but regardless of those findings, they would be monitoring him.

My guess is that he is in a state of denial and likely will be for some time. It is a self-protective mechanism too.

I would assume he is provided with any prescription meds he already has. Prisoners are given them under supervision.

8. They don't deny prisoners blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, or whatever meds they're on.

And they shouldn’t

Prisoners should not be denied basic medical care.

4. Only if their consulting physician (or psychiatrist) concurs that there is a necessary indication.

And, no one in jail gets their meds handed to them. They are dispensed on whatever the schedule is for administering. So, if you are thinking he might obtain something in a sufficient dose that might be used for self-harm, unlikely unless he somehow got someone to smuggle it in.
