Prison bosses are reportedly worried about how to handle Harvey Weinstein while he is in jail, fearing he may commit suicide – just like Jeffrey Epstein.

Weinstein was convicted of rape and sexual assault on Monday and officials at New York prisons are said to be concerned another high-profile inmate could take his own life.

The article goes on to state the following:

Billionaire Epstein hanged himself last August in his cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

The report says officials are considering putting Weinstein in a private section of Rikers Island’s North Infirmary Command for high-risk inmates.

TMZ cited “high-ranking officials at NYC’s Department of Corrections” in their reporting about fears over a Weinstein suicide.

From TMZ:
For starters, we’re told one possibility is that Weinstein will be housed in a private section of Rikers Island’s North Infirmary Command, which is for high-profile inmates or guys with health issues — Harvey fits both. He could land in the “ANNEX,” with the other dudes falling apart.

Once he’s there and all checked in, our sources say HW will probably get his own cell with round-the-clock surveillance cameras watching his every move. And, when he’s out walking around, we’re told he’ll have DOC officials escorting him. There’s a reason for that.

You’ll recall … Epstein’s death was put under a magnifying glass when he hanged himself in his cell, while guards were supposed to be checking in periodically. That whole thing’s still being investigated right now, but in any case … officials don’t want that with Harvey.
