Summary
This document is an email chain within the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) discussing a legal challenge in the case United States v. Rivera. The judge and defense counsel questioned why Ghislaine Maxwell (at MDC) received significantly greater access to laptops (13 hours/day vs 3) and video counsel visits than Justin Rivera (at MCC). The correspondence outlines the Bureau of Prisons' justification, attributing the disparity to Maxwell's protective custody status and massive discovery volume versus Rivera's general population housing.
