Summary

This legal document, dated May 17, 2021, is a filing on behalf of Ms. Maxwell, a pre-trial detainee. It argues that the horrific conditions of her confinement—including sleep deprivation, contaminated water, surveillance of legal meetings, and overflowing sewage—make it impossible for her to prepare for trial. The filing renews a motion for bond and relief, referencing a prior district court order that admonished the Bureau of Prisons and the MDC to apply only necessary and standard security protocols.
