The ex-convict, who spoke to The Post\u2019s\u00a0Brad Hamilton\u00a0and\u00a0Bruce Golding\u00a0on the condition of anonymity, spent several months in the 9 South special housing unit for high-profile prisoners awaiting trial \u2014 like Epstein.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">There\u2019s no way that man could have killed himself. I\u2019ve done too much time in those units. It\u2019s an impossibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">Between the floor and the ceiling is like eight or nine feet. There\u2019s no way for you to connect to anything.<\/p>\n<p>You have sheets, but they\u2019re paper level, not strong enough. He was 200 pounds \u2014 it would never happen.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re on suicide watch, they put you in this white smock, a straight jacket. They know a person cannot be injurious to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The clothing they give you is a jump-in uniform. Everything is a dark brown color.<\/p>\n<p>Could he have done it from the bed? No sir. There\u2019s a steel frame, but you can\u2019t move it. There\u2019s no light fixture. There\u2019s no bars.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t give you enough in there that could successfully create an instrument of death. You want to write a letter, they give you rubber pens and maybe once a week a piece of paper.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote\">\n<p class=\"quote-text\">&#8220;They don\u2019t give you enough in there that could successfully create an instrument of death.

They could put two in cell. It\u2019s one or two, but I\u2019ll never believe this guy had a cellmate. He was too blown up.<\/p>\n<p>The damage that unit can do to someone.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like you\u2019re an animal and you\u2019ve been brought into a kennel. A guy like Jeffrey, it\u2019s like, \u201cHoly sh-t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I told my parents not to come there. God wasn\u2019t in the building.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had some heavy incidents in the building. What happened is permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the guards are on a major power trip. They know guys there are suffering. They know something the rest of the world hasn\u2019t seen, that a place like this exists in this country, and they get off on it.<\/p>\n<p>If the guards see that the guy is breaking, they\u2019re going to help you break.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s my firm belief that Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide.
