Im not so sure in the US system that cell mate will prevent suicide. I also do not see suicide as nearly as bad as getting killed by your cellmate. At least the suicide wanted to die and made that decision.
Yeah... from the descriptions of this case, it seems like it was more of an execution, with other inmates high-fiving the killer as he was beating the victim, and personnel conspicuously absent for over an hour even as it was being recorded on camera.
Then again, there was the Epstein case, where he was "left alone" and just the cameras and all checks "happened to fail" all at the same time.
