Summary
This is a letter from attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to Judge Alison J. Nathan, dated June 25, 2022, concerning her client, Ghislaine Maxwell. Sternheim reports that the MDC has unjustifiably placed Maxwell on suicide watch, depriving her of legal materials and sleep, which prevents her from preparing for her upcoming sentencing.

S2 20 Cr. 330 (AJN)
Dear Judge Nathan:
I write to inform the Court of a recent development which may require postponement of Tuesday's sentencing proceeding. Yesterday, without having conducted a psychological evaluation and without justification, the MDC placed Ms. Maxwell on suicide watch. She is not permitted to possess and review legal documents and is not permitted paper or pen. This has prevented her from preparing for sentencing.
Ms. Maxwell was abruptly removed from general population and returned to solitary confinement, this time without any clothing, toothpaste, soap, legal papers, etc. She was provided a “suicide smock” and is given a few sheets of toilet paper on request. This morning, a psychologist evaluated Ms. Maxwell and determined she is not suicidal.
I met with Ms. Maxwell today (after a 97-minute delay following my arrival at the facility). She is not suicidal. Currently, she is unable to properly prepare for sentencing. If Ms. Maxwell remains on suicide watch, is prohibited from reviewing legal materials prior to sentencing, becomes sleep deprived, and is denied sufficient time to meet with and confer with counsel, we will be formally moving on Monday for an adjournment.
Very truly yours,
/s/
BOBBI C. STERNHEIM
