It describes her total isolation from other inmates, 24-hour surveillance by high-level BOP staff (including while showering), and sleep deprivation tactics such as constant lighting and flashlight checks every 15 minutes. A footnote highlights the 'enormous expenditure' of this individualized detention for a non-violent inmate.

out of range of the camera focused into the cell. During daytime hours she was isolated in a larger
space. At no time did she have contact with any other inmate. She was watched round-the-clock
by a security detail dedicated exclusively to guard her as she was consistently monitored by video
surveillance. Her security detail rotated every two weeks and consisted of high-level BOP staffers
recruited from facilities outside New York who were instructed to guard a high-profile, high-
security inmate on suicide watch.14 Ms. Maxwell was subject to constantly changing rules and
whims. Her only source of information was from the guards who controlled her. They became the
source of information regarding rules, regulations, and opportunities. If they chose not to dispense
information or if they provided incorrect information, she had no basis to challenge them. She was
instructed not to speak to them lest she face disciplinary sanction. Such is not the case in general
population, where inmates assist other inmates and bear witness to and identify inconsistent and
improper treatment.

Unlike other inmates, Ms. Maxwell was subjected to various prohibitions and deprivations
not common to other inmates. She was monitored 24 hours a day by stationary security cameras
and by an additional hand-held camera that followed her while under the constant surveillance of
several prison guards who scrutinized her every move, even when she was showering, and taking
notes of her activities and recording them in various notebooks. The procedures in place deprived
Ms. Maxwell of any privacy and prevented uninterrupted sleep. The constant illuminations during
the night disrupted her sleep, leaving her sleep deprived and causing exhaustion that affected her
ability to concentrate. Initially, she was denied adequate and restful sleep by bright lights left on
in her cell for 24 hours a day coupled with a flashlight shining into her eyes or cell every 15 minutes
