Eh you can't keep a guy on suicide watch forever, it is really only meant to really stop someone from hurting themselves in the short term. Like not sure if everyone here realizes that when someone is on suicide watch it isn't just that they are always being watched by someone but that all they get is a tear resistant smock and a mattress, that's it. Usually they'll get interviewed and asked if they still want to hurt themselves and then get taken off and get consoling help for why they felt that way. Like that's why i've been saying if someone really wants to kill themselves in jail you are not going to stop them since having someone dedicated to watch them 24/7 for the rest of their life is not realistic.

Having a guard ignore him after seeing him hanging because he was a piece of shit and has already tried it once while possible, it would bring so much unwanted attention to yourself that doing it on purpose would be dumb. More likely the guard just fell asleep and didnt' realize until the morning that it happened since it was on the midnight shift.
