Weird that incarcerated men are three times more likely to commit suicide than the rest of the male population, then. (And fwiw jailed women are nine times(!) more likely to commit suicide.)
Rich people for sure have shorter sentences and stupid work release things in state court but actually being inside prison is mostly the same across the board: abusive and neglectful.
If the lack of shame or conscience actually reduced a person's likelihood of committing suicide, as you say, then we'd expect a population tending toward criminal behavior to have a lower rate of suicide in general.
Are you kidding? After getting caught and realizing he’s going to spend the rest of his life in prison? You don’t think there’s any chance he just decided he’d rather be dead?
I *DO* know, however, that leaving the most high-profile prisoner in the world -- one likely with 1st-hand evidence of serious crimes of the most powerful ppl -- unattended with the means to commit suicide is prima facie ridiculous.
Like whatever if you want to think they didn’t pay attention on purpose or that he wanted to live to prove his innocence or whatever but these statements are idiotic.
Too incompetent to be believable? In general, that's sound reasoning. But the more you find out about the Bureau of Prisons, the less ridiculous it seems to have incredible incompetence.

ps: "Likely" and "more likely" aren't the same thing.
