As for Barr being "responsible", Trump also is "responsible".

DOJ. And BOP are huge bureaucracies and I doubt that either know who the supervisor of the supervisor of the supervisor of the person who took him off the suicide watch is.

A more likely explanation is that Epstein's attorneys who were visiting him 8 hours A day so he could simply leave his cell pestered the prison officials and threatened law suits to get him off.

Suicide watch is very uncomfortable with 24 hour lights and no bed covers etc.
