1 represents that she has heard similarly from other defense
2 counsel. I take all of these factors into account consistent
3 with the 3553(a) statutory provision when deciding what
4 sentence to impose.
5 Beyond these factors, much of the defense written
6 submission, not the oral statement today, but much of the
7 written submission focused on a series of complaints about
8 Ms. Maxwell's pretrial detention. As I have said in many
9 sentencing proceedings since the pandemic began, the conditions
10 in the MDC have been extremely difficult for all inmates as a
11 result. There have been extended periods of lockdown, health
12 risks, and the lack of access to legal and social visits and
13 programming and the like. Conditions at the MDC are, to put it
14 mildly, not what they should be, and serving time during the
15 pandemic has been more difficult than serving time before it.
16 As I have in other sentencings, I take into account this in
17 imposing an appropriate sentence. I also take into account
18 that, as a high-profile defendant charged and convict of sex
19 offenses against minors, Ms. Maxwell faces security risks and
20 has endured additional isolation and surveillance beyond the
21 typical pretrial detainee.
22 That said, I largely reject the defense's primary
23 written contention that Ms. Maxwell has been singled out for
24 uniquely harsh and punishing treatment. To the contrary, I
25 agree with the government that many of the complaints have been
2 counsel. I take all of these factors into account consistent

4 sentence to impose.
