According to TMZ, a correctional officer is assigned to follow Weinstein at the Wende Correctional Facility in New York. Officials want to avoid any conspiracy theories and mishaps from occurring.

Each guard assigned to the infamous mogul will also have a fitted camera to monitor him 24/7. The mogul is facing 23 years in prison for various sex crimes. Last week it was reported that his health was deteriorating.

As we reported, fellow sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in a cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Facility in Manhattan in August last year.

Officials reported that his death was suicide by hanging but many believed he was killed for other reasons, and that the prison guards failed to keep an eye on him.
