Summary
This document is page 8 of a legal filing (Case 21-58) dated May 17, 2021, arguing against the mistreatment of Ms. Maxwell, specifically regarding sleep deprivation and accusations about hygiene. The defense argues that the government misrepresented facts by claiming Maxwell caused a smell in her cell by not flushing, while the defense asserts the smell was due to MDC infrastructure issues. This claim is supported by testimony from another inmate, Tiffany Days, who described a 'feces flood' at the facility.

be singled out in this way because she is alone, the nature of the charges,
and that this is high profile case. But those reasons, individually or
collectively, do not justify torturing someone by depriving them of sleep.
Nevertheless, the district judge did not conduct a hearing or otherwise
question BOP. It simply allowed the government to file a letter saying
that this is what was relayed to the government from the jail lawyer from
the jail guards. Even if that hearsay was true (which should be
questioned based on other representations made by BOP to the
government to the court), it is not at all sufficient for this type of
treatment.

3. Government misrepresentation to the district court: Ms.
Maxwell “caused [her] cell to smell” by not flushing the toilet. Doc. 196,
n.2 (April 6, 2021, gov’t letter to district court). This claim is absurd, of
course, and was again made without any sworn statement. Ms. Maxwell
responded and explained that the smell of sewage was caused by the
conditions in MDC and not by her.
