Summary

This legal document, filed on April 29, 2021, is a letter from attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to the Court regarding her client, Ms. Maxwell, an inmate at the MDC. Sternheim argues against the MDC's threat to move Maxwell to the Special Housing Unit (SHU), claiming she needs protection from staff, not other inmates. The letter also formally requests the Court to order the MDC to stop the disruptive 15-minute flashlight surveillance of Maxwell while she sleeps.

LAW OFFICES OF BOBBI C. STERNHEIM
The MDC routinely places inmates in the SHU if they have engaged in physical altercation with other inmates or to protect inmates who are the subject of abuse. It would be ironic if the MDC follows through with its threat to place Ms. Maxwell in the SHU. It would signal that Ms. Maxwell needs protection from the very staff so intent on protecting her, since she has no contact with anyone but staff.
As suggested by the Circuit, we ask the Court to address Ms. Maxwell’s sleeping conditions by directing the MDC to cease 15-minute light surveillance of Ms. Maxwell or justify the need for the disruptive flashlight surveillance.
Very truly yours,
Bobbi C. Sternheim
