DOJ Releases Video of Epstein's Prison Cell
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has released a video showing the inside of Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell where he died in 2019.
Epstein was a rich man who was in jail for doing very bad things to other people.
He was found dead in his cell, and even though it was said he killed himself, some people think he was killed by others.
The video shows a small, simple room with a bed, a table, a toilet, and a sink.
There was also a note in the cell where Epstein wrote about being treated badly and seeing bugs.
After his death, some prison workers were punished for not doing their jobs right.
