International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, charged with trying to rape a maid at a New York hotel where he was staying, has been placed under a suicide watch in jail, officials say.Norman Seabrook, who heads New York City's corrections officer union, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Strauss-Kahn was under the watch at Rikers Island. A law enforcement official also confirmed that Strauss-Kahn was placed under the watch after undergoing a mental health evaluation. The official said the 62-year-old Strauss-Kahn did not try to harm himself.The banker and diplomat has a whole jail wing to himself, a medical device to make sure he doesn't stop breathing at night and guards checking him 24 hours a day to make sure he doesn't kill himself. Strauss-Kahn was held without bail and sent to Rikers on Monday. He has been given protective custody in the jail, assigned to a facility that normally houses inmates with contagious diseases. He has also had previous experiences in sexual offenses. His bail was denied and he will be remained in jail .
My Opinion :
This topic is slightly disgusting in the sense that this man is a worldly known man and for him to do something like this just makes you thing of all the crazy people out there. In addition I am happy a man like this is put in jail. I find it odd how he now wants to kill himself due to the fact that the public knows about this situation. Previous reports says he hasn't and currently is having health issues. Thankfully his bail was denied and he will remain in jail.
Agreed on that point, sir. Despite how popular or how important he is, he cannot ignore basic morals and fundamental rights of other human beings around him. What he did is not accepted, and requires punishment such as this. He needs to learn the lesson for what he did, and if he feels the need to suicide, it has to do with his own conscience and psychology. Clearly, this man thought he could get away with something that is NOT acceptable for any man to do, and is now regretting it now that his reputation is soiled and his stable life has now turned into one of a sexual offender.
